Mercenary Journalism.
In another column we give extracts
from the report of the testimony before
the committee appointed by the Legisla
ture to investigate the charge of bribery
made against the lessees of the State
Road. The testimony, as published in
the Atlanta Constitution, is voluminous,
and we confine our extracts to that por
tion of it which establishes the fact that
money was paid by Gov. Brown and H. I.
Kimball to certain journals in the State to
advocate the leasing of the road to the
company which they represented. It is
not our purpose now to enter into a dis-
oussion of the propriety or morality of
these transactions between Governor
Brown and the editors of the papers
whose influence he secured in the inter
est of his company. Our object is to put
the matter on record; to let the people of
Georgia know the influences and the means
by which the lease of the Stale Road was
procured; and, lest by our silence we may
be supposed to sanction the “ethics'’ of
progressive journalism as developed by
the testimony, to enter our earnest pro
test against it. We feel that it
a duty we owe to ourselves and to
the independent press of Georgia to
declare most emphatically that it
is “violative of newspaper ethics”
for an editor to allow parties the use of
his columns for the advocacy of measures
affecting the public welfare, in which
they are interested for pay. In other
Words, that it is a departure from the
principles of honorable journalism, and
a betrayal of the public confidence
to permit interested persons, a*
in the case of the State Road lease,
for a money consideration to secretly
control and direct the influence of a pub
lic journal to promote their own private
ends. Such a prostitution of the col
umns of a newspaper to the highest bid
der cannot fail to impair the influence cf
the press and bring journalism into de
served public contempt.
“There’s Millions In It!”
That the loyal and patriotic people of
the “City of Brotherly Love” confident!
expect to make their Centennial show a
remunerative enterprise in every possi
ble way, is evident from the fact that tli9
most extravagant prices are demanded
and paid for certain privileges on the
grounds during the exhibition. It is re
ported that one patriotic enthusiast, with
an eye to the main chance, has offered
fifty thousand dollars for the poor privi
lege of sweeping out the exhibition build
ings, guaranteeing to pay all his help and
to keep the fifty odd acres of flooring in
the buildings perfectly cleaned. By a
moderate charge to exhibitors, and by
being permitted to retain valuables found
in the sweepings, he expects to realize a
handsome margin of profit. A peanut
merchant has given seven thousand dol
lars for permission to vend his wares, and
probably expects to make a good thing
out of it. The ice cold soda water man
has given $30,000 for the privilege of
dispensing his cooling draughts, and
agrees to pay a royalty of twenty cents on
every gallon sold, which, it is estimated,
will swell his license fee to at least
$62,000. The Washington Star thinks
that in according these privileges the
Centennial managers should exercise
great discretion, or some of the hungry
speculators will bring discredit upon
them and the exhibition.
If some light-fingered “combination”
could obtain a monopoly of the pocket
picking that will take place during the
exhibition, they would make their ever
lasting fortunes, and could afford to retire
from business for the ba’ance of their
lives.
Gbaduated Taxation.—A correspond
ent of the Nashville American proposes
a plan to graduate the burden of tax-pay
ers according to their ability to pay rath
er than their actual possessions. He ar
gues that a man worth $10,000 is able to
pay more than twice what the man pays
who is worth only $o,000—that is, both
men have the same chance to support
their families on $5,000, and the second
$5,000 possessed by the wealthier man is
a sort of surplus that ought to bear and
can bear an extra tax as such. The wri
ter’s plan might perhaps be crystalized
iuto a taxation of surpluses only, leaving
the poorer classes comparatively free. Its
principle is the one so generally advo
cated in theory, and so difficult in prac
tice, of taxing luxuries rather than nec
essaries.
The Rothschilds have made a good
thing out of England’s purchase of the
Suez Canal, for which they furnish the
ready cash. They receive 2$ percent, com
mission on the $20,000,000, advanced, be
sides interest at five per cent, until the
government repays it. The commission
alone is half a million. Three months’
interest is pretty certain to accrue before
Parliament acts on the appropriation,
making $250,000 more. Add to this their
opportunity for buying Egyptian bonds
at low rates, with a certainty that the
Suez purchase would enhance them, and
a round million is a modest estimate of
the profit resulting to the great banking
house from this single transaction.
“It is natural for man to indulge in
the illusions of hope,” said Patrick Henry
in the General Assembly when making
his eloquent speech in favor of resistance
to the tyranny of England. The truth of
his words is recalled when we read that a
few weeks before her death the regretted
Charlotte Cushman wrote hopefully to a
friend, saying, “I believe now I am
going to get -better * * * a ray of
sunshine brightens everything.
Spain gains little by the overthrow of
Don Carlos, since one of its first conse
quences is the return of ex-Queen Isa
bella, who has been nearly eight years in
exile. Her presence at Madrid will arouse
fears that the worst abuses of her reign
may be tolerated during that of her son.
It did surprise the country a trifle to
learn from his own statement that Gen.
Babcock is worth only $30,000. A wide-
awake exchange suggeets that it would be
interesting now to know how much Mrs.
den. Babcock is worth.
Irwin, the Pacific Mail man, has been
arrested for embezzling $7fl0,000-and
released on $50,000 bail-leavmg him a

chooses to “jump his bail.'

Mat. Carpenter and Dan. Voorhees as his

ture should impeach him. Where is his

A Warning to the Contractionists.
The “uncompromsing” contractionists
who, like the silly maiden who waked
from a morning dream under the firm
conviction that all her “pots and
pans” were to “turn to shining gold
have hugged the, fond delusion that
sood the depreciated currency with which
they had flooded the country, would soon
be, under the operation of the re
sumption act, turned into gold, like
the disconsolate Distaphina are begin
ning to realize the vanity of their hopes.
The arrogance of their tone has very
much abated of late, and it is quite evi
dent that they begin to have fears of the
success cf their scheme to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. They are
beginning to learn that the people are not
to be deluded with their cry of “hard
money," and that they are determined
that the financial system of the country
shall be adjusted on a fair and equitable
basis, alike just to the capitalist and the
laboring and business classes. The New
York Tribune, Jay Cook’s paper, and
leading resumptionist organ, in a late
editorial ha3 these words of warn
ing to its party. The editor says
“Months ago we warned friends of
sound currency that they were in danger
of greatly underrating the force of the
inflationists. Victories in Ohio and
Pennsylvania were cheering, but men
who are thoroughly in earnest do not
yield because of a few de? eats. That the
inflationists were in earnest was then, as
it is now, the worst feature of the fiuan
ci&l situation. The bard money men
may be strong in nu nl ers; we hope they
will prove to be. But a considerable
proportion of then*, at least, entirely lack
the firmness of j urpose and strength of
conviction which make their adversaries
so feared by political parties. Unques
tionably, the inflationists have opened
the campaign with shrewdness. To
capture the organization of both parties,
or to compel both to court their aid, they
begin by establishing themselves in Indi
ana ai.'l Connecticut. They know that the
Democrats cannot hope to succeed with
out Indiana, and they correctly judge
thf. a strong demonstration in an East
er:. State will help them immeasurably,
by intensifying the feeling of inflationists
at the West and alarming party leaders
who might be inclined to oppose them
The demonstration in Connecticut, as our
reports show, was not imposing in nuin
bers, but it was decidedly impressive ii
the directness and positiveness of those
assembled. Call these men fanatics or
bankrupt speculators, as you please; it is
undeniable that they are in earnest, and
their very determination makes them
quite respectable in contrast with the
timid aDd twaddling partisans with whom
they have to deal.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, an advocate of the forci
ble resumption law, writes to that paper:
“Each day shows that the inflation
party still rears its hydra-head. Mr.
Kelley professes to represent one million
Republican voters who want more cur
rency, and in this assumption he is, per
haps, not over-enthusiastic. The signs
of the times indicate that on this ques
tion of the currency the Republicans can
have no advantage over the Democrats in
the Presidential campaign, but will be
equally split up and divided. As has
been stated, it is to be expected, as
matter of course, that President Grant
will veto any act repealing the specie re
sumption act; but, within the last day or
two, some are beginning to say that this
‘depends.’ At all events, if Congress
should adjourn without action in this re
spect, there are those who confidently
anticipate that a demand ror repeal will
be inserted in the national platforms of
both parties.”
A somewhat remarkable case has just
been decided in Eugland by Chief Justice
Coleridge and two of his associates. A
man bought a first-class ticket from Lon
don to Scarborough, and on the back of
it these words were printed: “Issued ac
cording to the company’s regulations,
and to the conditions in the time tables
of the respective companies over whose
lines this ticket is available.” But the
tram did not start at the time announced,
and failed to make its advertised connec
tions. The passenger lost the tr^in he
wanted to meet at Leeds, and, finding he
would have to wait three hours
for another, procured a sp
train to take him to his destinati
which he reached an hour and a quarter
after the time he was due. He paid. for
the train and then sued Ulp company for
the extra expensj^T The county court
decided that the company must pay for
the special train, and now o^appeal the
High Court of JusticH has reaffirmed this
^cisiojj|J This court decided that a rail
way company is bound to carry passen
gers according to its time-tables, and is
responsible to them for losses sustained
by all unnecessary delays. This decision,
rendered by the most eminent Judge on
the English bench, will have great weight
in this country as well as in England, and
will form an important precedent.
The Southern Freight War.—The
New York Bulletin says another of the
late frequent wars between the Southern
transportation companies is in progress
with the usual bitterness. As a conse
quence there is a somewhat active move
ment in shipments of goods to the several
points, touched by the rival companies
stimiMted by the low freights. The com-
petitilB is between the Southern coast
wise lines and the Virginia and Tennessee
railroads for freight between New Y’ork,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore at
one terminus, and Macon, Atlanta, Au
gusta, Columbia and other Southern
points at the other terminus. The trou
ble, it is stated, grew out of charges of
bad faith among the companies, and the
Georgia Central Railroad refused to go
into a convention at Atlanta last week,
where it was proposed to arrange the dif
ficulties. Sixth class freight is taken
from this city (New York) to Atlanta for
25 cents per 100 pounds. The Baltimore
and Southern water lines pro-rate with
the railroads at the low rates, but obtain
their prices to local points, and the rev
enues are consequently not seriously af
fected.
Proposed Abmx Reorganization.—The
bill introduced in the House of Repre
sentatives by Mr. Banning, of Ohio, “to
promote the efficiency of the Army of the
United States, to provide for its gradual
reduction, and to consolidate certain of
its staff departments, and for other pur
poses,” proposes as the minimum of cav
alry 8 regiments, and of infantry 23 regi
ments. The regimental organization is
to be abolished, and the artillery service,
hereafter to be known as the corps of
artillery, to consist of 5 batteries of light
artillery and 60 batteries of artillery, with
1 chief of artillery, 4 colonels, 2 of whom
are to serve as {inspectors of artillery: 6
lieutenant colonels, 12 majors, 60 cap
tains, 120 first lieutenants, and 65 second
lieutenants. The bill is very lengthy,
and goes into a very general reorganize,
tion of every branch of the military ser
vice. It was referred to the Military
Committee.
A New Hampshire paper says that the
English sparrow which drives out native
birds is a good deal like the distinguished
foreign Counts who are reported at our
summer watering places, and wh<# usually

The “Ethics” of Journalism In At
lanta.
About the most interesting develop
ment made before the legislative commit
tee appointed to investigate a charge of
bribery brought against the State Road
lessees, is the wonderful and unaccount
able difference of opinion between two
well known newspaper men in regard to
the “ethics” of journalism. We make some
extracts, emphasizing portions as we go:
Isaac W. Avery, sworn, examined by Mr.
McDaniel, Chairman : Q—Do you know
anything of the use of money by the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad Company to pro
cure the passage of the resolution endorsing
the lease through the Legislature of 1871 ?
A—All that I know is that Mr. W. A.
Hemphill told me that he had received five
thousand dollars ($5,000) for the position
the Constitution had taken in support of the
lease from Mr. H. I. Kimball.
Q—Do you say that Mr. Hemphill said the
money was paid to him to take the position
or in payment of the position taken ?
A—I will explain that to you. I was the
editor of the Constitution at that time, and
the position the paper took was determined
by me individually and solely, upon grounds
of public right and expediency, and I for a
long time imagined that the matter began
and ended there. I knew nothing to the
contrary, and for a loDg time thought that
there was no complication, or any of that
kind of complication, connected with the
position taken by the paper in that matter.
As I tell you, I had determined to take
ground for the lease, because I thought
it was the best thing for the State under
existing circumstances. A considerable
time afterwards—I do not know the exact
time, but it was a good long time after—
Mr. Hemphill and I were talking about the
matter, when he dropped it out that he had
gotten five thousand dollars for the position
the paper had taken. We talked the matter
over very fully, and 7 * xpressed considerable
surprise and some indignation over it, when
Mr. Hemphill made this expression about it:
“You know, Col. Avery, that the position of
the paper was not bought, but after it was
taken upon the grounds of right and public
policy, I consider that I iras perfectly right
in getting any money 1 could get out of it.”
Q—Wiio did he say paid him the money ?
A—Mr. H. I. Kimball.
Q—Was Mr. Kimball one of the members
of the leasb company.
A—He was one of the lessees.
Q—(By Mr. Peeples)—Did he state at
what tine he received that money ?
A—He did not. It was a matter of con
versation between Mr. HempLill and myself
a number of times. The truth is that I had
some feeling about it, as I was the editor-in-
chief of the Constitution at that time, and I
did not desire any odium to attach to me in
the matter. I knew very well that I had
gotten no money out of it and
I believed that the lease to the
present company was the best thing
for the State to do, and I believe
now. TLat was always my de
cided opinion. I regretted, and was cha
grined and mortified, that any such consid
eration of money was mixed' up with the
position of the paper upon that most im
portant public question. Some time after,
when some persons or paper was attacking
Mr. Hemphill- I do not remember when,
or in what paper, but he was being sav
agely attacked—he alluded to this matter,
aud said he did not want it to get out. And he
then stated the only thing I know in regard
to Governor Brown’s connection with the
matter. He said tLat he was going down to
see Governor Brown aud Mr. Peters about
this matter, and see if it could not be hushed
up. That was all he said in regard to that
matter, and I never afterwards got any fur
ther elucidation of it.
Examined by Gov. J. E. Brown : Q—Tak
ing it for granted, for the purposes of the
examination, that there has been $5,000 paid
to the Constitution for its advocacy of this
measure, do you, taking journalism in gen
eral, think there was anything immoral or
oorrupt in taking it?
A—/ do not think that it is considered^ex-
actly proper journalism. It is done by some
journals and there are others who do not do
it. I believe tho 0 e doing it do not think
that it is wrong, but I think that the ethics of
the calling condemn it.
Q—Is it not often done?
A—I think it is.
Q—Do you not know instances in your own
practice where it has been dono ?
A—1 cannot remember any.
Q—(ByMr. Walsh)—Do you think it is
considered proper among the journals of
the State, or in journalism generally, to re
ceive money for advocating any measure?
A—I do not think it is.
Q— Do you not know that it is considered
disreputable for a newspaper to receive
money for advocating any public measure?
A—I do think it loouid be considered highly
so.
That seems to be Colonel Avery s opin
ion in regard to the matter. Now we
shall hear from Mr. Hemphill:
W. A. Hemphill, sworn, examined by Mr.
McDaniel, Chairman : Q—Mr. Hemphill,
did you receive any money from Governor
Brown or any momber of tho lease company
to influence the position of your paper on
the lease question before the Legislature of
1871?
A—No sir.
Q—Did you ever receive any money from
Governor Brown, or any one connected with
the road, pending that matter and in con
nection with it ?
A— Yes, sir, I received money.
Q.—Did you ever receive any money from
Mr. H. L Kimball in connection with the
lease and the matters before the Legisla
ture?
A.—I have received money.
Q.—Will you state the amount and the
time when you received it?
A.—I do not remember the amount. I
received money from both sides upon that
question to publish articles and communica
tions for them. I never had anything to do
with the editorial control of the paper, as
Colonel Avery was the editor, and that was
left to him. I only acted in a business way.
Q—(By Mr. Walsh) Did you ever tell
Col. Avery tnat you had received $5,000 for
the position the Constitution had taken upon
the lease question before the Legislature of
1871?
A—No, sir.
*.(1—(By Mr. McDaniel, chairman.) | Did
you ever tell Col. Avery that yon had re
ceived $5,000 at all from Mr. H. I. Kimball ?
A—No, sir.
Q—Did you ever tell Col. Avery that you
had received any sum of money on account
of the position of the paper upon that sub
ject?
A—No, sir.
Q—(After ordering Col. Avery’s testimony
upon the point read.)—Did you ever uco
that language to Col. Avery ?
A—/ do not think I ever did.
Q—Did you ever have any conversation
with him upon that subject?
A—I did.
Q—Can you repeat the substance of it ?
A—My best belief is that I told him I had
made $5,000 out of the lease. One day I
was over in the Herald office when there
was a dispute going on between the papers
about their circulations, and Col. Avery said
to me that it was as much as he could do to
keep them from publishing this thing on
me. I said to him that it was a business
matter, and could not hurt me if they did.
Q—Was it not the objeot of Gov. Brown,
in paying this money, to influence the ac
tion of the Legislature in this matter* or
did you ascertain his object?
A—No, sir; Ido not remember what was
said about it.
Q—Was it known, publicly known, that
the articles published in your paper were
paid for in that way?
A—I think so.
Q—How was it known ? Did you make
the fact public ?
A—No, sir; I keep my business to my
self.
Q—How do you suppose, then, that it was
known ?
A.—I suppose it must have been taken for
granted from our publishing so many of
them.
Q.—Do you understand that when a public
journal inserts matter from other papers
that it is paid for?
A.—No, sir; not all the time.
Q.—Is it usual?
A.—It is according to what the matter is.
Q.—I only desire to know how the public,
under such circumstances, would under
stand your position ?
A.—In such cases, those who put the arti
cles in do not want the fact known that they
do it, for fear that it might destroy their ef
fect.
Q—(By Gov. Brown.)—Do you consider it
iolative of newspaper ethics to allow the
use of you r columns to a party for the dis
cussion of points involved iu a measure in
which they are interested, for compensation
or pay?
A—No, sir.
Q—Is not that done by papers generally
all the time ?
A—I think it is. I do it, and do not think
there is anything wrong in it.
Q—(By Mr. Walsh)—Did you charge the
opposition by the line—so much a line—or
agree upon a specific amount ?
A—They preferred to pay by the line.
Q—You made out the bills that way 0
A—I thiDk I did.
Q—That is, you made out the bills at so
much per line ?
A—They preferred them that way, be
cause different parties paid them.
Q—Then, you charged this party $5,000,
and the opposition by the line ?
A—They each preferred their way.
Q—I understand you to say that it is a
newspaper custom to accept money for pub
lishing communications upon some great
public question ?
A—I say I think so: I don't know. I can
not tell you ichat other newspapei's do.

tucy, Corresponding Secretary and Chair
man of the Committee on the Entertain
ment of the National Republican Conven
tion, says the statement that the Cincinnati
hotels will increase rates during the Conven
tion, is false, that he holds a contract with
the hotels to maintain the regular rates,
that the contract is binding, and that the
hotel proprietors have no desire to increase
the rates.
STEAMER BURNED.
Vicksburg, January 27.—The steamer
Mary Belle was burned to the water’s edge
this evening. The boat, five or six thous
and bales of cotton, many thousand sacks
of seed, etc., and the baggage of about two
hundred passengers, are a total loss. No
lives are known to be lost, and nobody was
injured. The boat was six months old,
valued at $90,000, and insured for $30,000.
Tho cargo was also insured.
The first State election of the year oc
curs in New Hampshire the 14th of
March, three weeks from to-morrow.
The two political parties are so evenly
divided there, and it being the initial
political contest of the centennial year,
the result will be anticipated with keen
interest. At the last election the liepub.
lican majority was only 172, a very small
margin, which the Democrats hope to
overcome.
Hon. Patrick Walsh.—It will be seen
by reference to the news from the Legis
lature that the gentleman from Rich
mond, whose name heads this article, has
prevented another imposition being prac
ticed upon the tax-payers of Georgia. He
headed off the bill for issuing new State
bonds to take up Macon and Brunswick
Railroad bonds, and is entitled to the
thanks of the people. This is not the
first nor the only time, since he has been
in the Legislature, that Mr. Walsh has
done the State some service. His whole
record is good. He has filled his place
well as a member of the Legislature. And,
so far as we are’ concerned, we would like
to see him promoted.—Oglethorpe Echo.

A Currency Famine.—It is stated at
the Treasury Department that there is
only currency enough on hand to last two
months. It seems that none of the cur
rency received at the department is paid
»out again, but is destroyed, and new
notes are issued to take its place. If the
appropriation of $300,000 asked for to
resume operations in the Bureau of En
graving and Printing is not made very
soon, it is anticipated that there will be a
currency famine, as the Treasury will
soon have none to pay oat.
