Of
A Problem for the Taxpayers
Georgia.
By way of illustration let us suppose
that a citizen owns a good comfortable
dwelling in Milledgeville, which with the
grounds attached is worth §100,000, and
that he also owns a very rickety, uncom
fortable and ill constructed house in Atlan
ta, which—he having been most egregious-
ly swindled in its purchase—cost him
§200,000. He can’t occupy both houses,and
must abandon one of them. His Atlanta
property will sell perhaps for half what
it cost, while his Milledgeville property
if abandoned would not sell for
the cost of the brick and mortar. A
disinterested Atlanta friend advises him
to set fire to his Milledgeville proporty
and sell his Atlanta bouse for what he
can get, he (the aforesaid disinteiested
Atlanta friend) promising to give him a
lot and contribute fifty thousand dollars
to help him build a new house at a cast
of five hundred thousand dollars. We
willsuppose, for the sake of the argument,
that the man is dunce enough to accept
the advice of his disinterested Atlanta
friend, how much would he save by the
operation? We submit the problem to
the taxpayers of Georgia.
The most recent case of Western repu
diation is that of Nebraska City, with
outstanding bonds, held chiefly in New
York, amounting to four hundred thou
sand dollars. Nebraska City can’t pay
the interest, and doesn’t propose to pay
the principal. The Mayor and City
Council offer fifty cents on the dollar, by
issuing funding bonds of the city bear
ing seven per cent, interest per annum,
payable in twenty years. The proposi
tion is now before the bondholders of
New York, with the interesting intima
tion that if they refuse they are likely to
get little or nothing.
An interesting land claim is just now
stirring up land owners in Mason, Bour
bon, Fayette and Campbell counties,
Kentucky. The heirs of Thomas and
Kobert Young, who owned the lands in
all that part of the State in 1773, think
they can establish a rightful claim, and
have commenced suits for that purpose.
Among the titles involved are those of
the land on which the towns of Lexing
ton, Maysville, Paris and Lewisburg are
situated.
The largest shipment of grain ever
made from New York to England was on

bushels. It went to Cork, Dublin and
Antwerp.
31 of the Resumption Act.
” f ‘in Wednesday’s discussion in the Lower
House of Congress on the bill to repeal
the act providing for the forced resump
tion of specie payment on the first of
January, 187'.», Georgia, through her
representatives, Messrs. Felton and Bell,
of the Seventh and Ninth districts re
spectively, took a very prominent part.
These gentlemen spoke in favor of the
repeal, and, though we have not yet read
their speeches, we are glad to see from
the telegraphic reports that they are
highly commended, and reflect great
credit upon the State.
That this act should be repealed there
can be no question. It was passed, in the
first instance, under very suspicious cir
cumstances. A committee of a Congress
nearly two-thirds of its members Radi
cal:), concocted and prepared the entire
scheme in the recesses of the committee
room. By a regular understanding, it
was reported back and immediately the
previous question was called and sustain
ed, thereby catting off all debate and pre
venting an exposure of its defects. Un
der these circumstances, and solely
through the operation of the gag law, this
measure passed both House aud Senate
and was signed by Grant almost before the
mk with which it was written bad become
dry. It is not at all strange, then, that the
majority of the citizens of the United
States should desire the repeal of any
act passed in such a manner, and espec
ially when so passed by a party in which
the whole country has long since lost
confidence. But there are other and
practical reasons why a repeal would bi
wise.
The natural result of fixing a date
arbitrarily for the resumption of specie
payments was wholly to unsettle values,
and destroy business and commercial
prosperity. Of course the capitalist,
who had heretofore added to the wealth
of the country by placing his means in
industrial enterprises, thereby affording
employment to thousands, and dis
tributing money among the laboring
classes, took fright as soon as the bil
became a law. Ha saw in it at once a
violent contraction of the currency, a su d
den shrinkage in values, and a consequent
destruction of all the accustomed land
marks by which he had been enabled to
safely guide his steps along the intricate
and mazy paths of business towards the
goal of success. He therefore saw that
self-interest demanded that he should
withdraw his means from enterprise-
which, however safe and reliable as busi
ness ventures they had been in the past,
could only be tisky speculations in the
future. He did so, and in his desirt
to make himself safe, locked up his
wealth in bauk vaults and government
bonds and quietly awaited the day when
his greenbacks should turn to gold in his
hands.
This result and its natural effect was
predicted from the beginning, aud most
terribly has that prediction been verified
With this withdrawal of capital cam.-
business paralyzation; men in vast num
bers were thrown out of employment;
thousands could no longer obtuin even
the necessaries of fife; times grew hard
aud constantly harder; distress was al
most universal, and vagabondage threat
ened the vary foundation of society.
Truly, when it is considered that to a legis
lation such as this there was to bs added
a closing of the markets of the world to
this country by means of a high protec
tive tariff, and the almost entire stagne-
tion of commerce which was naturally
brought about by that means also, it is
a great wonder that the result was not
even more disastrous than it has so far
proven. But the protective tariff and tne
forced resumption bills were the offspring
of the same party ; both laws were mads
for the benefit of the bondbolding
monopolists and great money centres of
the land, and both, likewise, were -on a
par with the legislation of the party
which demonetized silver, and which, on
all occasions, worked to increaso the
wealth of the rich few at the expense of
the tax paying masses.
Opponents of repeal of the resump
tion act while frequently admitting
all the evil we have herein por
trayed, tell us that the worst is over,
and it is better now to let it run its
course to the end rather than risk a stir
ring up of the trouble afresh by any fur
ther interference at this time. Such
reasoning is unsustained by facts. True,
times are little easier, and the business
outlook more promising in some respects,
but that is only the effect of the removal
of one Radical barrier to prosperity—the
interference with the domestic affairs of
the States by the General Government.
This has already produced some benefits,
but such benefits are small when com
pared to the relief which will be felt when
the barriers and obstructions of Radi
calism to enterprise, which yet remain,
shall also be, one by one, removed. Not
only can there be no fuil restoration of con-
fidence while that forced resumption act
stares money holders in the face, but
specie payments can never be brought
about by law, since law alone eau never
bring money into the treasury. Let this
act be repealed, silver remonetized, the
tariff reformed aud made one for revenue
only, aud we will see money loosed from
its shackles, brought out of its hiding
places and once more made generally use
ful. Thou business will be revived, times
will become easier, commerce restored,
and prosperity will resume her sway.
And then, according to well established
natural laws, specie resumption will, in
due time, come of its own accord.
The Philadelphia Republicans are
thoroughly disgusted over the fact that
an immense number of negroes in that
city voted the Democratic ticket at the
late election. As long as the negro votes
the Republican ticket tho organs compli
ment him on his “ superior civilization,”
but we observe that the Philadelphia
Bulletin calls him a “debased man” since
he went back ou his Republican masters.
The American negro is very rapidly learn
ing that it is only as a voting machine
that he is esteemed by the Republican
party.
The Charleston Journal of Commerce,
alluding to the intimation of its Wash
ington correspondent that doubts are
entertained of the ample punishment of
Cardozo, Carpenter and Smalls, who have
been convicted at Columbia, says : “The
spirit of compromise that he speaks of
will not deter the courts of justice in
this State from punishing the guilty ones.
There can be no compromise with fraud,
save that compromise which is absolutely
necessary to ensnare the large game.”
Texas made this year 700,000 bales of
cotton, from which will be obtained 840,-
000,000 pounds of seed. This seed, con
verted into oil, would bring over § 14,-
000,000. The total exports of cotton
from the port of Galveston during the
season just closed were 495,814 bales, of
which 256,928 went to foreign and 233,-
886 to domestic ports.
The marine disasters during October
to vessels belonging to or bound to or
from American ports numbered thirty-
six, the value of the vessels lost, exclus
ive of their cargoes, being estimated at
§670,000. The list includes four steam -
ers, one ship, thirteen barks, two brigs
and sixteen schooners.
The Duty of Louisiana.
The report of an interview with ex-
Judge David Davis, now United States
Senator from Illinois, has just been pub
lished, in which that gentleman is report
ed as saying that had he accepted the fif
teenth position on the eight-by-seven
commission, he would have voted just as
Bradley did, aud he gives his reasons why
he should have done so as follows :
He says that in the Louisiana case he
had no doubt but that “the votes as they
came out of the ballot box elected the
Tilden electors beyond question,” yet the
only authorities of the State which Con
gress or a commission could, constitu
tionally or otherwise, take cogaizanoe of
had certified to the contrary, and that
to go behind these certificates would bo
to destroy the autonomy of the States.
Further, he holds that the fraud is a mat
ter for Louisiana alone to manage, and it
is her province, through her courts and
juries, to punish it.
With all due respect for the opinion of
a Judge of the United States Supreme
Court as honest as Judge Davis has pro
ven himself to be, we cannot exactly see
I the force of his argument. Judge
Black’s statement that the taint of fraud
totally vitiates every deed, contract or
official certificate, is undoubtedly in per
fect accord with a well known
fundamental rule of law, as
certainly is founded on every principle of
justice. This alone it seems should jus
tify the Federal Congress, when it has
the most indubitable proof that
iiigrant fraud has been committed in
the matter of the certificates of Presi-
dintial electors—a matter which comes
directly under its supervision—to examine
into such fraud, especially when, as in
this instance, it was committed through
the interference of Federal officials, pro
tected by Federal bayonets. If nothing
else gave Congress this power, the obli
gation placed upon it by the Constitution
to secure to every Slate a republican form
of government, should do so, since no
State government can be constitutional
or republican in form which permits
three or four corrupt men to deliber
ately overturn aud trample upon the
will of its sovereign people.
Still, since a contrary opinion is hold
by Judge Davis aud many others in the
country, and since, therefore, it is plain
that the American people cannot rely
upon their Congress to prevent a crime
similar to that committed by tho Louisi
ana returning board in the future,
makes the responsibility of the different
States in the premises so much
the greater. Since the Stales are
the only po vers which can take cogni
zance of such outrages, it becomes their
positive duty to punish them relentlessly
whenever committed. Louisiana has al
ready taken the initiative in this direc
tion by indioting as criminals the con
spirators against her sovereignty and
dignity; but she should not be content
with simple indictment. She should
maintain her dignity and sovereignty
by severely punishing the criminals so
that the world may see that the rights of
her people cannot be trampled under foot
with impunity. Aud more, the senti
monts as expressed by Judge Davis,
Judge Strong, and even Judge Bradley,
clearly show that she owes this duty no
only to herself but to every citizen of
every State in this Union.
Senator Joliu B. Gordon.
It proofs were needed to convince us
that among our distinguished represen
tative men no one possesses in a higher
degree than Senator Gordon the confi
dence and affection of the people of
Georgia, such proofs would be furnished
by the enthusiastic and emphatic demon
strations of popular favor which from
day to day reach us from every section of
the State. General Gordon richly
merits the admiration and confi
dence not only of Georgians, but
of the people of the entire South,
who delight to honor him. While the
true Democracy of the entire Union re
gard him as on6 of the ablest among our
tried and trusty champions of Democratic
principles, and manifest a deep interest
in his career as a statesman of which the
country may be proud, it is the especial
privilege of Georgians to claim him
their own, and to honor themselves by
continuing to honor him.
At a meeting of the Democratic party
of Troup county, assembled in LaGrange
on the 6th instant, to appoint delegates
to tho Senatorial Convention and to nomi
nate candidates for Representatives of
that county, the following resolution!
were enthusiastically adopted by a rising
vote:
Resolved, That Hon. John B. Gordon,
United States Senator, has, by his dis
lieguiahed ability, his patriotism and de
votion to the people of the South, shown
himself a statesman to whom the people
of the whole Union look with hope and
confidence.
Resolved, That we with pride endorse
his heroic devotion gnd successful labors
in behalf of the oppressed people of
Louisiana and South Carolina, who in the
long night of Radical misrule, when alien
thieves ruled over them, found at last a
champion in our own gallaut Gordon.
Resolved, That we cherish with grate
ful hearts the unsolicited encomiums paid
Senator Gordon by the people of our sis
ter States, and unite with them in the
patriotic wish that he may be elected his
own successor at the end of his present
Senatorial term.
Resolved, That we approve and endorse
Senator Gordon’s entire course in Con
gress, and remembering bis gallant aud
glorious conduct on a hundred battle
fields in defense of the people of the
South, we fear not but that he will in the
future, as in the past, be equal to every
call, and be ever found at his post of
duty, able and ready to serve with patrio
tic devotion the people of our entire
country.
Resolved, That onr Senator and Repre
sentatives be instructed to vote for Sena
tor Gordon, first, last and all the time,
as bis own successor as Senator from
Georgia, aud to use all honorable means
to secure his election.
The Boston Post says Hayes’ appoint
ments to foreign missions are causing
even the warmest of his “endorsers” to
feel anxious, not to say startled. Stough
ton, Sanford and Logan are the gentle
men whom all agree are fit only to stay at
home in merited obscurity; yet they are
given important places as representatives
of the United States abroad. Then
comes Col. Bob Ingersoll; and against
him, the scoffing sceptic, the religious
community rises as one man to demand
that he shall not be sent to Berlin to
represent a Christian people—Dot even
to fill the placo of the sycophantic Ban
croft. With the protests of the re
formers and the wrath of the religious,
Mr. Hayes is likely to find it quite as un
pleasant as he anticipated.

shal Fred. Douglass appears to belong to
the Conkling-Blaine wing of the Repub

fat office is a gift from the hands of the
peaceful Hayes, his voice is still for war.
In a recent address he said : “I do not
disguise the fact, office holder though I
am, that the way this peace has been
sought is not my way, nor do I think that
it will or ought to succeed. The South
ern people always had a class of men
among them who were superior to the
law. What the South wants to day and
will continue to want until some man
comes who can give it to them, is law and
order, and submission to law by all
classes, poor and rich, low and high.’*
Fred gets the emoluments if not the
honors of a Federal office, and should

tience.
COTTON CROP—STATEMENT OF THE DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Washington, November 15.—The cotton
returns of the Department of Agriculture
made during the fir. j t week of November
compare the product |in bales with that of
1876. The absence of killing frosts is noted
in all the States. Slight frosts in the more
northern districts have been favorable to an
increase of yield by hastening \he ripening
of the later bolls. Rains in October have
been uonsualiy heavy, and in general
interfering with picking, causing stainiDg
and loss of fibre. The losses from the pre
valence of the caterpillar were heaviest in
Texas, were somewhat serious in Louisiana,
and to a less extent in Mississippi and Flo
rida. Iu the following comparison by States
with the crop of last year Texas has the
lowest percentage, and "would be still lower
but for the fifteen per centum increase
of area. Arkansas and Tenness36
stand high not only by reason of
a good crop, but because their velds
were relatively low last year; and Alabama
is above 100 only because her last crop was
a very pcor one. The figures are as fol
lows : North Carolina 91, South Carolina
90, Georgia 92, Florida 97, Alabama 105,
Mississippi 92, Louisiana 97, Texas 82, Ar
kansas 110, Tennessee 115. This indicates
about 4 per cent, reduction of the aggre
gate of last year even if the future of the
picking season should be as favorable as
that of 1876. There are also reports of low
yield of lint to the seed which may further
affect the returns.

New York, November 15.—The Directors

advance at this time, when the jobbing

to maintain itself against the com
petition of interior distribntiog points,
would be unwise and inexpedient, and wonld
greatly tend to the advantage of the interi
or jobbers who lay in large stocks of the
principal staples prior to the close of naviga
tion, and afterward use this as an argument

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Omaha, November 15.—Three dis inct
earthquake shocks Lave occurred, ringing
the church bells and making tall buildings
totter. Similar reports come from the
surrounding country, but no damage is
reporte d.
The Boston Post has come to the con
clusion that old Virginia will never repu
diate as long a3 “Moffat’s Register”
works as satisfactorily as it does at the
present time. Crusades and prohibitory
movements pale their ineffectual fires be
fore the gentle tinkle of the bell punch,
and it bids fair to drive all the well ad
vertised temperance agitators out of the
field. When the bell punch can reduce
the amount of intoxicating beverages
consumed in a State aud at the same
time make what is sold return a generous
and certain revenue, machinery is settling
the great moral question which has been
such a constant strain upon a great
many good people for the last half cen
tury. Whenever a temperate or an in
temperate man in Virginia drinks a glass
of whisky he pays the State two cents
and a half, and when he satisfies his
thirst with a glass of beer Ii9 pays
half a cent. But this same system
that brings in money to the State re
duces the expenditures to which that
money must be devoted. It is not neces
sary to appoint a great constabulary force
at a large expense to see the liquor law
enforced, for the people themselves are
the detectives, and if the barkeeper fails
to “punch with care” he is in danger of
finding his attendance solicited at another
bar before long. There is no longer any
old score and slate business and the bum
mers end bar room beats are disconsolate.
The State exacts a tribute aud her de
mands are cash. Even the very men who
drink have the satisfaction of knowing
that they are helping to reduce their own
taxes, aud both society and government
appear to be gainers by the introduction
of this device. IIow would it work m
Georgia ?

Both the import aud export trade of
New York for October show a gain over
October last year. Iu imports the gain
is over §1,500,000, and in exports nearly
§8,000,000. For the ten months of 1877
that have passed the imports at New
York have been §283,854,252 and tho ex-
ports §266,196,431. This is an increase
of §33,500,000 in imports and about
§3,200,000 in exports over the corres
ponding period of 1876. The customs
receipts at New York for ten months this
year have been §80,317,023, nearly four
millions less than for the corresponding
period last year. About two-thirds of the
imports aud forty-five per cent, of the
exports of the entire country are repre
sented by the trade movement at New
York, and the Journal of Comtneree, iu
commenting on these returns, says they
make a very encouraging exhibit of our
foreign commerce, and show that the
balance of trade is increasingly in favor
of this country.
There is now scarcely any room for
doubt that the Fope is on his death-bed.
The endurance which this great old man
has shown during the last year has been
scarcely short of miraculous, but the
fight is almost over.
Naval Retbexchments. —A correspond
ent, formerly a surgeon in the United
States navy, sends some statements de
duced from the Naval Registers for 1861-
1877, showing that the navy needs an
overhauling in the interests of economy
and republican simplicity as much as the
army. He rightly says that the grades of
Admiral, Vice Admiral and Rear-Admiral
were unknown during the wars of the
revolution, of 1812 and with Mexico, in
which our greatest naval characters ap
peared, and our greatest naval distinctions
were achieved. The Navy Register, he
says, for the current year, exhibits fifty
officers, active and retired, holding the
role of Rear-Admiral iu a service which
has soarcely a ship apiece for them to
command, to say nothing of the fleets to
correspond with their official grades.
Their pay of §6,000 for aotive duty, and
§4,000 when on leave or awaiting orders
a year goes on all the same. He makes
farther statements also to the effect that
the pay of the navy since the war ex
ceeds that of the army. The statements
are worth looking into.
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-Secretary
of the Treasury, is represented by the
New York Sun as expressing the opinion
that the passage ot the Bland silver bill
wonld be highly injurious to the credit of
the country and to its business interests.
He thinks the premium on gold would
advance, aud if the balance of trade,
now in favor of the United States, should
turn against us, it would advance still
more; greenbacks will fall to par with
silver, and as nobody will want silver for
them we shall have a merely nominal re
sumption of specie payments. Assuming
that the government bonds will bo held
payable, principal and interest, in silver,
if silver is to be remonetized, Mr. Mc
Culloch thinks these bonds will become
mere currency bonds and sell accordingly.
