Which !
Shall it be’ repudiation, greenbacks, dis
honesty and ruin ’—or a restoration of
credit, hard currency, honesty and pros,
purity ? It is an old adage that ‘ honesty
is the best policy. - If we pursue this policy
and restore our credit, and make green
backs worth their face in ji gold, wo shall
not in the least bo the losers by paying outs
bonds in gold, since the greenbacks wilt
buy the gold, dollarfor dollar. Would
this be better than to attempt to pay our*i
debt in greenbacks lit seventy cents on the*
dollar, ending with them at five cents on
the dollar, or less, and the business of the!
country in chaos and ruin ? Is not this an
easier and better way of making our green
backs pay our debt, by running their value
up to pai - , than as proposed by the demo
crats, J)y running them down to zero ?

the sole charge of the prisoners, consequint
ly he assumed no authority except to keep
them (prigouers) socure. A narrative
of sweat boxes,, shaved heads and many
other terrors, follow. Regarding Governor
Brown’s connection with the affair, he says,
iu effect, that he employed Brown for his
legal knowledge and influence with the
people. Brown demanded a fee of five
thousand dollars. This amouU, under ordi
nary cin fmutances, Meade would not have
paid, but was app'reneusive that the defunce
would hire Brown.

From Atlanta
Atlanta, September 10.—In the House
a resolution to reconsider the adoption
of the resolution passed yesterday, centain
ing reflections on the Governor’s message,
was lost. *
The negro ihcmbers lately 'declared in
eligible, have published a protest, ad
dressed to the Speaker and members of the
House, in which they enter a solemn pro
test against the outrage [>ei[>ctrated on
their race, and will appeal at the proper
time to Congress. It is signed by twenty
eight ex[»elled members and twelve Re
publican members, accompanied by a de
mand that the protest be entered on the
Journal of the House, which the House
refused to permit.
Iu cpmpliance with the resolution passed
by the General Assembly in consequence of
the violence committed in some counties by
armed and unlawful bands of negroes, the
Governor issues a proclamation denying the
giving of authority for armed or unarmed
organizations ; warns the people that drilling
and exercising in military tactics, with arms,
by any organized body, except the array of
tlie United States, is unauthorized, unlawful
anil against peace and good order, and must
be immediately suspended ; says that per
sons distinguished for hostility to the United
Slates and to this Slate are promoting sail
acts of violence, by publicly denouncing the
laws as unconstitutional and void, and the
result of said acts of violence and insurrec
tionary appeals is manifest in the rapid
spread ol a disposition on tbe part of thpse
who maintain the validity of the laws Os
Congress and the State government enacted
thereunder to protect themselves by arms
against acts of viblencc and combinations
against civil rights. He avoirs Grant’s
parole given to Lee’s army, wherein he says
