of that county, as using and recoinm-nd

to bear the report of that gentleman.

whereupon they proceeded to assess the
property at its true value, increasing the
value of one man's property over nine
thousand dollars. Of course, the reas
sessed gentlemen will lie angry about It,
but the county guardians of the public
welfare should stand firm.
It seems that the ship railway enter- j
prise of our time is not anew idea or a j
new enterprise. A correspondent of the <
Pall Mall Gazette resurrects the fact that
in the rear 1718 vessels of war were trans
lated across hills and valleys, a distance j
of fourteen miles, to assist at the siege of
Frederickshall, where Charles the Twelfth
lost bis life- The engineer or this ship
railway was Emanuel Swedenborg, one of .
the most remarkable men the world has J
produced. He was one of the greatest of
theologians, mathematicians and scien
tists.
A Scheme of German Bondholder*-.
It seems that an effort is to be made to
test the liability of the Federal Govern
ment to pay certain bonds, issued or
guaranteed by this state at the time when
the carpet-bag government had control
and the people had no voice in affairs f
the state. The Mis&jmri li*yuMiom treats
the matter as follows:
•■When the people of Georgia came into
possession of their State Government sev
eral rears ago. the Legislature
a committee to investigate the state debt
and report how it was contracted. This
committee reported that all the debt was
va’id lawful!v contracted, and binding,
except about s6.ooo.ooo bonds issued under
the ‘ ,ra-*--vr regime, without the
warrant of anv sufficient law and without
the approval of the people, a large por
tion of the bonds having been
given away for insufficient considera
tion or divided among favorites.
It was recommended that these
bonds lie disavowed, as they were cot a
legal obligation on the people, and they
were not bound, either in law or morals,
to pav them. The Legislature acted on
this advice, disowned the bonds, and ever
since has refused to pay the interest on
them. There was a great outegy at the
North against this act of -repudiation.’ as
it was called, and it was predicted that
Georgia credit would be irreparably in
jured. But this prediction was not fulfilled.
Georgia credit ha- -teadily inproved since
th" disavowal, and the state can borrow
money on very easy terms. Now we hear
that anew scheme is proposed to secure
pavment of the discredited bonds. s ome
of them are held by Germans, and the
German Minister ’at Washington is
the United States Supreme Court
ide whether the Federal Gov
ernment its*-lf is not bound for the
debt on these grounds: that when the debt
was contracted there was no lawful
government of the people in the Mate: the
■ nly vernment in Georgia wasasemi
mifitary one imposed by the Federal
}-,w"r:" it was this semi-tnilitary govern
ment set up by the Federal authorities
that i-sued the bonds: the people of the
state had nothing to do with the transac
tion. for thev were debarred from the right
, - self-government by th<- military, acting
Waahingtoa. Th>- Fed
eral Government, therefore, is the only
power resjionsible for the debt contracted
uodei j;- supervision and by its crea
tor* n. and that government ought to pay
the debt.
••TL <• i- as presented is a strong one in
an international point of view. If it were
in L.vpt. or - *iu other feeble Mate, the
claim Would be enforced by a navv and
embargo: but that sort of thing would
not n . ;*h a piwcrful country like the
Ini;**! St ties, and as there is no law au
thorizing tin- Federal <overument to as
-oine the debts contracted by carpet-bag
_'*•! -tat. governments, the Georgia bond
holders have a *-!i:n pms.ieet for their
money.”
Tin* bonds referred to were either issued
or guaranteed for the benefit of the
Bainbridge.j Cuthbert and Columbus
Railway, the Brunswick and Albany
Railway, and the Cartersville'and Van
Wi rt Railway. A committee of the Leg
islature. after tue jieople got control of
th* -tat" Government, made a thorough
examination of tii state debt, and re
l*orted against that portion of it which
was clearly invalid. The rejs.it "as
adopted, and ordinances were passed pro
hibiting the p... ment of the bonds in some
ca-es. and in other cases deglaring them
void. These ordinances were afterward*,
incorporated in the constitution, and that
ended the matter so or as Georgia was
; oncf-rn*d. Tiie position taken by *>;<*
German li',iii''r** of these bonds is novel
and interesting. St mu-t Ire ackowledgetl,
however, that it is not without strength.
The carjiet-bag government, which
, issued the bonds, was practically the
Federal Government. It was the creature
not of the people of the State but of Fed
eral jx.vl * irresponsibility for its acts
! re-is anywhere, therefore, it rests
not on the Mate which repudiated
I it, but on the Federal Govern
ment which made it- existence {kkW

the case imiii **ttiireme Court at Wash

Intelligent participants in the
latewar and their children alter them,
remarks the New Orleans Picayune, will
always resent the charge that secession
was a crime, or that it involved any de
gree of moral turpitude. The right of sc
: cession was not first asserted in the South.
It was as old as the discussion of the po
litical relationship of the Mates, and the
1/est minds, the most eminent statesmen
and the most learned jurists were divided
as to the strength of tot argument upon
either side. Men of ordinary capacity
and superficial instruction were not corn
latent in that day to deal with a question
involving the history and formation of the
government, and that class of men are in
i coini>ctent to criticise at the present day
! those who took sides on the question,
•‘when, therefore,” -ays the Picayune,
-we find a certain class of people (Chi
cago Tribune talking about secession as
though it were as obviously criminal as
burglary or murder, contempt inevitably
mingles *,V'*h our estimate of their judg
ment.’*
One of the witnesses testifying before
the Senate Committee, now in session in
New York and charged with the duty of
inquiring into the causes of strikes, gave
the following reasons for the failure of
the telegraphers' strike. “The first few
strikes." he said, “that workmen in any
particular trade indulge in are lost from
the fact that the employers are unable at
first to comprehend that lal>or has certain
rights which they ought to respect; sec
ondly. that they are unaware that the
laborers who are on a strike ate capable
ot inflicting any injury ujion them; third
ly. that when they are once in a strike
and hold out for a considerable period,
they do not like to weaken and accede to
the demands of their employes: they
would rather make large sacrifices of
their capital.” From these reasons the
inference is drawn that if the telegraph
ers should strike again they would stand
a better change <f success.
Letters written by James Buchanan,
appear to be turning up quite frequently
lately. Not long ago one appeared that
he had written to the lady to whom he was
engaged to be married. The Philadelphia
Press printed the following, written Sep-
I eember gist. 1%!, a few days ago. It had
never la-fore appeared in print:
“I pursued my own steady course from
the beginning. The Charleston authori
ties were distinctly notified, over and
over again, that if they attacked Fort
Sumter, I should consider this attack as
the commencement of a civil war. 1 need
scarcely say that J agree with you in ap
proving the active prosecution of the war
by the government, and I have never held
any other language since theConlederates
commenced it by the attack on Fort Sum
ter. It would probabiy have commenced
early in January had the Senate confirmed
my nomination of a Collector for the jort
of Charleston.”
The prospects of the Florida Ship Canal
look more promising now than ever be
fore. 'ins report of Gen. Stone, the_ Chief
Engineer of the enterprise, made at a
meeting of the directors of the ship Canal
Company in New York yesterday,
is in 1! respects encouraging. He places
the cost at 54.,0"0,MX), and thinks the
work can he done for less than that
amount. The length of the canal will be
about 137 miles, and the deepest cut
w ill lie lb; feet. This deep cut, however,
will not lie a long cut, and very large
part of the work can be doue with dredg
ing maehines. It seems that the question
whether the enterprise would Ik- profit
able u at settled at the meeting yesterday
to the satisfaction of those present. Gov.
Brown expressed the belief that work on
the canal would lie begun in ninety days.
It is probable that this long talked-of
scoutne is about to take definite shape.
Referring to u*e three '-uses of yellow
fever at the navy yard, wuicb is seven
miles from Pensacola, the Gazette of mat
city says a perfect cordon has Imen estab
lished around the infected district, and
“our sister cities can feel a_sured that
nothing will lie left undone to keep the
disease from Pensacola.” The Collector
left the management of the m liter in the
hands of the local Board o! Health, and
the Gazelle says every avtms- of eeeajie
from the reservation Is most carefully
guarded, so that, should the fever leeoiue
epidemic, it will be confined to the reser
vation.
it looks as if the cholera had spent its
loree in Egypt. The scientists who are in
vestigating the scourage will soon tie able,
perhaps, to say whether the disease is
Asiatic cholera or not.
Tfc Situation in Virginia.
The political situation in Virginia is
daily becoming more interesting. The
straight Republican party is showing
mr ,re~ vigor than was expected, and the
indications are that the fight l*etween
the Readjusters and the Republi
cans will tie fully as earnest and.
perhaps, as bitter as the fight between the
Readjusters and the Democrats. Dezen
dorf is hardly the man to lead the Repub
licans. He depends too much on long
wailing letters which he furnishes to the
press rather than upon sharp, energetic
work. The arbitrary conduct of Mahone.
however, in all matters pertaining to par
ty management, and his bold attempt
to merge the Republican organizations in
the various counties into those of the
Readjusters, have aroused the hostility of
many of the strongest Republicans who
have all along been acting with
him. and they have either
resumed or are preparing to resume
their connection with the strateht
Republican party. Mahone undoubtedly
thinks that if he can hold the negroes, he
is safe, but the chances are that he can
not hold them. He has done noth
ing for them, and they will not
be long in und"rstanding. when the
canvass fairly begins, that in helping
Mahone they are not furthering
their interest in the least. No doubt the
President will soon be asked to give the
supi*ort of the administration to the
straight Republicans, and he will have to
decide whether he will continue to stand
by his corrupt bargain vvith Mahone or
not.
Leading Republicans of the country are
oi>enly condemning the administration
for allowing Mahone to use the patronage
of Virginia to break down the Republican
party in that State. It may be that the
President will not heed their protests.
If he does not. it will be an
acknowledgment that the bargain
with Mahone is of such a character
that it cannot safely be broken. Whether
the straightout Republicans of Virginia
get any encouragement from the admin
istration or not. it i certain they propose
to tight Mahone to the bitter end. They
would rather see the Democrats than
Mahone successful. P is to be hop-d
that they will keep up their fight, it
means the overthrow of Mahone and the
victory ot the Democrats.
As the bunko business declines in New
York, highway rubbery seems to flourish.
The story ol the robbery of Mr. Towle, of
Florida, of $1,600 shows what strangers
who wander out after dark in many
parts of that city may expect.
He was struck in the head with
a sand club, and was. of course,
rendered insensible at once. One of the
oldest New York detectives, speaking of
the Towle ease, said:
- Strangers in this city, and esjiecially
in that part of the city, who go out after
dark with large sums of money in their
possesion simply take their lives in their
hands, and all the police :a the world will
not save them. It is a mistake tbWuppose
that they are the victims of a’chance
blow from some passing ruffian—they are
watched previously, tor days it may be.
and it is only when the sought-for oppor
tunity arrives that the robbery and. if
need l>e, the murder are perpetrated.
There is no safer place for a highway rob
ber or a murderer than a great city like
this, which furnishes hiding places and
opjiortunitie for disguise that arc wholly
unknown elsewhere, and numerous as are
the arrests of such characters, the re
cords of the department show that, after
all, they are few. in comparison with the
numbers who somehow manage to elude

Information from a Republican Source
Missouri Rtjmbllcan.
When a Democratic paper charges that
the Republican officials at Washington
are making a delilx-rate effort to ignore
the Civil Service Commission there is hot
and quick denial of the charge by all the
Republican organs, but we have recently
been favored with information to the same
effect from a Republican source, and we
are surelv justified now in saying that it
is no accident that the great reform has
so far failed to materialize in any visible
shaj>e.
A Point to be Settled.
Bouton Advertiser.
i One point should lie distinctly kept in
mind in following the contest in Virgiuia
between the straight Republicans and the
“Maiioneites.” Each will send a delega
tion to the National Republican Conven
tion. That body w ill decide which of the
two shall lie admitted. Senator Mahone
has announced that his supporters will
lie for President Arthur’s renomlnfttion,
and the “straight-outs” have declared for
Mr. Blaine. The call for the convention
allows either faction to be eligible, as it
requires no previous adherence to the
Republican party.

“Yks,” said an oflicer of the Canada, in
speaking of Prince George of Wales, “we
like the Prince very well. He conduct®
himself just like one of ourselves. Oh. no,
he is not stuck up at all. He Is treated by
all on board just like any other middy.
Nobody makes any difference because he
happens to be the Prince of Wales’ son.
And he does not act any differently him
self. He is pretty lively, and enjoys a
lark as well as ariy of us. He takes his
turn at the watch, and does hjs duty as
well as can be expected. But I don't think
he cares much about his work: not any
more than other boys of his age do; of
eourse. he's only a boy yet. and has not
entered upon life seriously. He was tat
tooed on the arm while he was on the Bac
chante. He gets on well with the officers
and is prettv'well liked bv the men. Oh.
no. we don’t make any fuss over him when
entering a port, nor is he paid honors. He
is not sailing in his capacity or position
as Prince, but as a middy.”
Bishop Huntingdon-, of the Protes
tant Episcopal Diocese of Central New
York, utters some severe strictures ou
Sunday schools as generally managed.
He says that the only task which war
rants their existence is the religious train
ing of children. He claims that for this
great work the provision which is made
is wholly inadequate. He hints that most
of the teachers, although well-meaning,
are --without indoctrination, experience,
dignity, discrimination, or the faculty of
instructing." And he thinks the clergv
man who lets the duty of instructing the
children slip out of his hands aiW fall into
those of such people as are in charge of
the .Sunday school interests incurs "a
guilt for which he. and he alone, must
answer.” The Bishop’s opinion of Sunday
school teachers may seem uncharitable.
But. unfortunately, there are many good
Christians and judicious educators who
from. extensive observation know that
there are numerous cases in which the
religious training of the youngsters is
committed to just such persons as he de
sorits-s.
Thk Chicago Printer has the following
about a well known Chicagoan: “The
portrait of William Henry Smith, General
Agent of the Associated Press, recently
appeared in one of the Eastern magazines,
and was copied into the Commercial
Gazette, of Cincinnati. It called to the
mind ot the writer the time when Mr.
Smith first came to Cincinnati from a farm
in Champaign count}-. He was an intel
ligent country youth,’who had acquired a
knowledge of phonography by means of a
poor instruction l*ook and his own apibi
tiou to jxissess a power of usefulness not
in the hands of every one else. With this
magic key. and the spirit of enterprise it
inspired within his soul, he soon found
his wav into the editorial sanctum of the
Gazette ortfoe; it secured him the position
of private secretary to Governor Hayes; it
led to his election as Secretary of State,
and his api*ointment by the President as
Collector of Customs at Chicago; and now.
in the consolidation or the Western and
Eastern Press Associations, he has been
called to New York to take general charge
of its affairs, on a salary that he never
dreamed of when studying phonography
in his humble country home.”

During the discussion in the House of

of a deceased wife's sister by the bereaved
widower and the impatient lover a hu
morous i>eer of the realm thus answered
oue of the objections to the measure:
■ The noble lord obiectsto tb<* bill because
the wife’s sister is really ill law the sister
of the husband! If she is the sister ot the
husband then her sister is also his sister,
and he has married his own sister! And
if in law he is the brother of ijis wife’s
sister, then he is the brother of that sis
ter’s sister: and, I submit, also; that the
wife has married her own brother! The
proposition is proved on both sides, and
the onlv safe rule is to prohibit marriage
between any man who has brothers with
any woman who has sisters.”

which has become a standard book in this

JOHN ADAM TREUTLEN.
First Governor of Georgia—This Myste
rious History—Hi Many Living De
scendants.
Editor Morning Xeirsi In one of the
issues of your paper during or about the
time of the Sesqui-Centennial there was
an item which contained the assertion
that John Adam Treutlen, the first Gover
nor of the State of Georgia, was a >alz
burgher. There is no doubt he was
an official member of the church of the
Salzburghers at Ebenezer before the war
of the revolution began, as his
name appears among the twelve
deacons of that church during
the pastorates of Rabenhorst and
Tribner. He was a citizen of that part of
Effingham county which was then t*t.
Matthew's parish, and his home was about
eight miles above Ebenezer. in the imme
diate neighborhood of rosters’ Ferry.
Whether lie was a Lutheran from choice,
or because that was the only accessible
Christian enurch. is uncertain, liecause it
is by no means certain he was a Salz
burgher. Indeed, the weight of such testi
mony as I have is, that he was not.
It is equally strange and unfortunate
that so little of the history of Governor
Treutlen is known. What was his
native country, when he came to Georgia,
how his youth and manhood were passed
up to the revolution, are all unknown.
And stranger yet. although he was among
the earliest and most conspicuous of the
Georgia revolutionists, and was the first
Governor of the State, his subsequent his
tory lias l*een lost. There has been no
one to record the date, place and manner
of his death, and his grave—like almost
everything connected with his
is unknown. In consequence of this
meagre information the name and famed
Governor Treutlen have been neglected.
Georgia has given his name to no
county or town within her limits, nor
done anything else to perpetuate her jirst
Governor. This neglect could not have
grown out of any personal disqualifica
tion or the rendering of inconsiderable
service. He was a member of the Provin
cial Congress from the Parish of St. Mat
thew’s, which assembled July 4th. 1775.
Among his co-delegates is to be found the
very distinguished name of George Wal
ton. In that Congress were such men as
the Hahershums. Bryants, Telfairs, Mous
tons. CJavs. Cuthh’erts and Mclntoshs.
Afterwards, m 1777. he was selected
from among such men to lie the
Governor of the State, and
from the necessities of the situation, ii
was necessary to confer upon him arbi
trary power. When lie was elected Gov
ernor. his Executive council embraced
such men as John Houston, Win. Few,
Arthur Fort, and John Jones. During his
administration, there was a controversy
with the neighboring province ol South
Carolina, in which he bore himself with
distinguished valor and wisdom. South
Carolina attempted the absorption of
Georgia by making both one province.
The citizens ol Georgia had become in
fected by her emisasries, and the occasion
called for great firmness, courage and
energy. Governor Treutlen was equal to
the emergency. Had the movement suc
ceeded. there would have been twelve in
stead of tiurteen colonies, and the present
empire State of the bouth might have hat*
no existence, but the term oi office
was for only one year, without re-elec
tion. It 'was only the second year
of the revolution Governor Treutlen
retired from office, and this is
the last history has to soy of him. The
war lasted five more years. Great events
oi a political nature immediately followed
its close, and yet neither during these in
teresting and exciting times, nor since, in
there anything recorded of Gov. Treutlen.
He Wio a true patriot, and a fearless
man, and could not have remained idle. He
could not have done so, had he so chosen,
for the country had need for the sfgy;'. es
of all !>“;• ""tTuViic sons. The only YCA :
sonable solution is. that he must nave died
soon after retiring trOm office. In support
of this the tradition, coming down to
his descendants, ami of which there can
be no doubt, is, that on a visit to Orange
burgh district, S. C.. where he had near
relatives, he was followed by brutal to
nes, and murdered in the most horrible
manner. He was tied to a tree and
hacked to pieces w ith swords, in the pres
ence of his family. Ilis body, or w hat re
mained of it, was buried, either by the
tories, or his own people, at some place,
where either from not knowing at
first, or from being forgotten amid
the troubles of the iiines. was placed
where no one now- living knows. Gover
nor Treutlen having in this sad way de
parted from the scene of public action,
and it being so long until the independ
ence of the State was achieved, and hav
ing no son. or other descendant in the
State in public life.he was forgotten. If not
forgotten, certainly neglected, for Georgia
to this day owes him the debt of
some appropriate recognition. It is never
too late to do right, and the State should,
on the first opportunity, take some action
which w ill perpetuate the name of her nmt
Governor. It was no little distinction to
have been such, lor to our Governors on
the original organization of the State,
during the revolution, all our Governors
since owe their official position and repu
tation.
In view of Gov. Treutlen's celebrity,
his whole personal history becomes inter
esting, and this, sad to say, is involved in
more doubt than his career immediately
following the expiration of his term of
office. While the name has a German
sound, yet it is also tradition among his
dtscenUipus that he vyas a native of
England, and had been a soldier or officer
connected with the British army. If
this is true, he may have come directly
to Georgia, as other English emigrants.
But whether he i English, or German,
the greater probability is, he came first
to the province of South Carolina. He or
his ancestor may have been among tiie
German settlers of that State. From the
earliest know ledge ot him, he had near
relatives in Orangeburgh, where some of
his descendants yet reside. In the neigh
borhood of Sisters’ Ferry, where Gov.
Treutlen resided, were many settlers from
South Carolina, who were attracted there
by the abundance of wood and titfcboi on
that oiiio oi the savannah river, with a
market at Savannah. This w°g before
the days ot cotton. The Carolina side had
been longer settled, and there weye few,
or no high bluffs, while there were many
on the Georgia side. Either theory is
more probable than that he was a £alz
burgher. There is no appearance of the
Salzburgher in any of his descendants
1 have seen," and I have
seen many. The Salzburghers
have well-defined features, accent and
characteristics not to be mistaken by
those familiar with them, even to this
day. Substantially, there is nothing in
Stevens' historv of Georgia or White’s
historical collections except what I have
stated, lion. Charles C. Jones, of Au
gusta, is engaged in rewriting the history
of our State. 1 Jearn from him that he
has no additional facts touching Gov.
Treutlen. It Is essential that all
reliable information of him should
be sent Col. Jones lie lore his book
or volumes go to press, for there may
never lie another opportunity to do Gov.
Treutlen justice. What makes the pau
city of his history yet stranger is that
there is no old Georgian whose descend-
ants are better defined, and, more than
that, they are quite numerous. I shall
mention "several who bear the relation of
great-grand child (or yet farther removed)
to John Adam TreEtlen. There are Col.
John F. Treutlen, who was recently
of Columbia, 8. C.; Dr. Walter s>,
Dudley, lately President of the Agricul
tural and Military College at Milledge
ville: Mrs, Maria A, Provost and Dr. Her
vev Cleckley and wife, of Alabama; Mrs.
E. C, Corbet, of Macon, Ga.; Mrs. Judge
Mallette, of Effingham county, Ga.: the
Wilkins brothers, of Burke and Jefferson
counties, Ga.; the sons and daughters of
Albert G. Porter, of Effingham, who was,
during the late war, taken prisoner by
Sherman and sent to Point Lookout,
Maryland, where the poor fellow died
from the effects of prison life. AVhether
or not his grave, since the .war, has been
by his family identified, I do not kuow,
An interesting fact to /e is, that when I
was only ten years of age, the Colonel
William J. "Dudley), and the Major
t Christian Treutlen i of an Effingham mi
litia regiment were both the grandsons of
Governor Treutlen. This suggests that
the Governor mav have been past the mo
ridian of Hie in 1i75. Capt. Frederic Te,
lioau, of Savannah, long since deceased,
was irr some way related to Governor
Treutlen, and, of course, his descendants
are likewise. There are others I cannot
recall, and 1 have no doubt there are
tna(iy I have never beard of. Are there
not among some of these many descend
ants, facts they can furnish Col. Jones?
