The Paramount Issue.
All the indications are that the
National debt, ami the best menus of
reducing and finally getting rid of it,
will be the paramount political issue
before Congress and the country. Its
importance t<> all the people of all sec
tions andJStates will naturally give it
a prominence to which all other issues
will necessarily become secondary and
subordinate. Neither is it improbable
that parties, as now organized, may
become divided and now political com
binations formed, which will, at least,
have the redeeming feature of ignor
ing the eternal negro question.
The class of politicians most antag
onist to the Government are in favor
of the Pendleton plan of adjusting
our National finances. This plan con
templates the repeal of the law author
izing the establishment of National
Banks, and the issue by the Govern
ment of several millions in Greenbacks,
which shall be received in payment of
,tl>e interest on the Government bonds.
There are many distinguished gentle
men whohavc succeeded in convincing
themselves that an increase of more
paper dollars will improve the credit
of the Government. They seem to
ignore the fact that the more paper
dollars that are not the representatives
of actual, real dollars, the less these
paper dollars will purchase in any
market. Those who insanely talk of
the possibility of paying off the
National debt in Greenbacks, are never
(JfeeiA jack's are to'be paid.
No honest man, familiar with the
current history of the times, can deny
that when Congress authonzed the
sale of the Five-Twenty Bonds it was
universally understood that the inter
est should be paid in gold .or its equiv
alent. It now suits the purpose of
demagogues to deny this, aud to pay
this interest in depreciated currency—
the same as an individual shaving his
own notes. No nation can afford to
trifle with its own credit. Every citi
zen has a personal interest in the pre
servation of the credit of the country;
for with a loss of credit comes a loss
vl honor, and with a loss of honor the
loss of poxver, and with the loss of
power the loss of the ability to protect
our right* as a fintion. We know
that many of the Southern people
think it unfair that they should be
inquired to pay any portion of a debt
incurred for the purpose of. crushing
the military power of the Confederacy.
This class, were they permitted to
attempt it, would be able to mature
any plan by which thecx-Confederates
could avoid this burden, short bl’ a
repudiation of the whole debt by the
entire people of the country. Besides,
it should be remembered that it is
I much easier to help the great, rich
and powerful North to pay the ’debt
of the United States—of which Geor
gia is a component part —than it
would for the South to have paid the
Southern war debt without any assist
ance from any outside source. This
debt Wits repudiated by the South
without a sacrifice of honor, because
the conqueror required it.
Many persons familiar with the
commercial wants of the people, and
with the resources of the Government,
assert that a speedy resumption to
specie payment is within the power
of the Government. Wero this done,
the mouth of many a demagoge would
be awed into silence, and wc should
henceforth hear an exceedingly small
song from those who would pay to the
Nation’s creditors less than tllfe Nation
promised when it contracted the debt.
It is not gold that the people so much
do-fire; but they do demand that each
dollar ol Government paper shall l>e
convertible into a gold dollar.’ Not
being able at the present time to con
vert their greenbacks into gold, they
are dissatisfied with the greenbacks,
and demand gold; if gold was easy to
l>e attained, they would be satisfied
with qrcenb.-u-ks (which are much
more convenient to handle) And would
not care for the gold All that la
wanted is confidence. One way to
give this confidence is to get rid of '

“Quondam's” Mistakes
The V. I’. Times has a very intelli
gent Georgia corres|s>ndei)t,wlio w rites
over the tarn de jdumeoi “Quondam.”
The author of these letters is understood
to be Gen. Wit. M Browne, at one
time private Secretary to the President
of the Confederacy, and afterwards
connected with the Conscript Bureau
in Georgia. Os course all his preju
dicics are enlisted against the Repub
lican party, and many of his letters are
warped with this prejudice. His com
munications are dated from different
portions of the State ; but the most of
them arc probably written from Athens,
the home of their author.
Although this article is headed
“Quondam’s Mistakes,” we only intend
to refer particularly 7 to one, for the
purpose of contradicting it, and with
the additional view, while on the sub
ject, of laying before our readers some
interesting information in relation to
the number of colored persons holding
office in Georgia. In a letter dated
Union Point, Ga., “Quondam” writes:
A friend who recently visited a county in
Southern Georgia iMclntosh, I believe),
when; die offices of Ordinary and Sheriff arc
tilled by negroes, gave me a very amusing
account of the calibre and conversation of
these officials. Remember that the Ordinary
is a very responsible judicial officer, whose
special charge is to take care of the estates
of widows and orphans, and to attend to all
matters relating to wills, administration, etc.,
and very often to decide very knotty points
of law. ' My informant told the that he never
met a more stupid or more entirely illiterate
negro titan the one who filled that high office
in the county to which I refer, lie could
not speak intelligible English. He s[K>ke the
GuHah dialect of the coast, which cannot be
comprehended by any outsider. His Honor
wanted on one occasion to count seven in
payment of some debt, wtich he did as fol
lows: “ Here’s wan (anglice, here’s one), and
’ here’s tarru, (here’s t'other, meaning two),
and here’s wan on top o’narra (here’s one on
' top of another, meaning three), and here’s
one wid the fills all tied togarra” (here’s one
w ith the feet all tied together, meaning four,
to be added to the three already enumerated,
and expressed by a figure derived from the
sale of chickens, in which it is the habit to
tie four chickens by the feet). It will cer
tainly be admitted that the amount of educa
tion and intelligence which this mode of
expression indicates Is scarcely enough for
1 the incumbent of a most important judicial
. office, and that it is not relteUion or treason,
nor yet unreasonable prejudice, to wish to
I see such offices filled by persons who can
, count seven in a less simple and figurative
manner.
“ A friend” may have related this
absurd story to “ Quondam,” but that
hardly excuses him for believing, and
gravely retailing it, to the thousands
colored man was elected Ordinary of
Mclntosh county, he ha* never en
tered upon the discharge of its duties,
and Mr. It A. Bibo, the old Ordinary,
holds over and performs the duties of
the office.
We present below a list of all the
colored persons elected to office in
Georgia last Spring:
*R. W. White, of Chatham, Clerk of
S. Court; P. Hines, of Dougherty,
Coroner; 11. Sherman, of Glynn, 'l’ax
Collector; <). Sherwood, of Hancock,
Coroner ; *B. Jackson, of Houston, Tax
Receiver; J. Day, of Lee, Coroner;
S. McKeivet, of Liberty, Tax Collec
tor ; L. Girardy, of Liberty, Coroner;
T. Barksdale, of Lincoln, Ordinary;
G. Daniel, of Lincoln, Coroner; L.
Jackson, of Mclntosh, Ordinary; S.
McAllister, of Morgan, Coroner; T.
Jenkins, of Randolph, Coroner; 8.
Brahamy, of Taliaferro, Coroner; 8
Hyrams, of Wilkes, Coroner.
Those marked thus * are the only
two who have qualified and entered
upon the discharge of the duties of
office. Os these two one of them, the
Tax Receiver of Houston county,
fleeted on the Democratic ticket,
and, doubtless, the Democrats went on
his bond, and some member of the
party* is actually filling the office and
receiving its emoluments. If we recol
lect correctly, the same is true of the
other colored official, with the excep
tion that he was elected by the Repub
licans. The facts are obtained from
official data.
It will be seen from them that
“Quondam’s’’ statements, as quoted
above, can not be true, and that Geor.
gia is not troubled with colored office
holders.

Affairs in Georgia.
Yesterday morning the delegates
appointed by the late Convention of
colored men of Georgia arrived in the
city, for the purj>ose of bearing the
memorial to Congress which was
adopted by the Convention. The dele
gation consists of Hons. J. .M. Simms,
H. M. Turner, J. T. Costin, three of
the members expelled from the Geor
gia Legislature for the grave offence
of being colored. They report affairs
in their State in st miserable condition,
and wholly attributable to the illegal,
and revolutionary measures inaugnr.it- ]
rd by the General Assembly of tbal ■
State.--- Chroniefe, idh.
The Electoral Vote of Georgia.
The Code of Georgia, a* we stated
on Sunday, provide* that the Proci
dentia! Electors shall assemble at the
State Capital on the first Monday oi
December succeeding each I'residen
tial elecfiott,* and nt 12 m. On the
Wediiesdav follow ing, to cast their
\ otesfor I’rt sident and \ icc-l’residcnt.
The m l ofUvngress plainly prescrilws
the first Wcdm sday in December as
the tiiue al which the Electors for
<d! the States -hnil organize the Col
lege and vote. Misguided by the
('ode, the (rcorgiu Electors did not
assemble on Wednesday last. The
Atlanta Intelligencer «ays the Gov
ernor was governed by the Code in
notifying the Electors. The Intelli
gencer also states that the Electors
will vote according to Georgia law.
As the act of Congress admits of no
exceptions, it is doubtful whether the
vote will he deemed legal.
O.xe Msnrr Mark.—lt appears that
I’ostuiaster-tieueral Raxdai.l is en
titled to at least one merit mark for
his manly service to the country in
the establishment of the terms of the
new postal treaty between the United
Statesand Groat Britain. The N.Y. tiun
says:
The British Postmaster-General trial to
carry his own way with a high hand over
Mr. Randal), our own Postmaster-General, in
tlienew pmtal arrangement between the two
countries. He wanted to compel us to em
ploy the Cunard and Inman steamers only,
at a stipulated yearly payment—making it
imperative, also, that we should mutually
send no more than three mails per week
across the water. Mr. Randall, however,
could not see it, and threw the whole carry
ing open to competition; and the result is
that Great Britian pays 24 cents per ounce
for her letter carrying, and we pay but 15
cents; so that instead of giving nine cents
upon each ounce letter to Cunardand Inman,
we keep that nice little sum in our own
pockets. The American Postmaster-General
t rial to get half-ounce letters carried for 10
cents, as a handier sum than 12, but was
defeated, although the newspapers arc re
duced from four to two cents tor foreign de
livery.

Fight with Indians—Gen- Sheridan’s
Report.

force by Gen. Custer’s troops:
In the Field, j
Dep't or hie Nobth, Canadian River,
J unction op Beaver Creek,
Indian Territory, Nov. 29, 1868. J
To j'di'jor General W. A. Nichcti, Assistant

General— l have the honor to report, for
the information of the Lieutenant General,
the following operations of General Custer’s
command:
On the 23d of November 1 ordered him to
proceed, with eleven companies of the 7th
cavalry, in a southerly direction toward the
Antelope Hills in seach of hostile Indians.
< )n the 26th he struck the trail of a war party
of Black Kettle’s band, returning from the
nori ii, near where the eastern line of the pan-

in pursuit, ovd' the head waters of the Washi
ta, thence down that stream; and on the
morning of the 2)th surprised the camp of
Black Kettle. iutd after a desperate fight, in
which Black Kettle was assisted bv the Ar
rapahocs. under Little Raven, and' the Kio
w as, under Santanta, we captured the entire
airop, killing the chief, Black Kettig and one
hundred and two warriors, whose lodics
w ere left on the field, and all their stock, am
munition, arms, lodges, robes and fifty-three
women and their children.
Our loss was Major Elliott, Captain Ham
ilton and nineteen enlisted men killed.
Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Barnetz, Brevet
Lieutenant Colonel .T. W. Custer, Second
Lieutenant Z. Marsh, anil eleven enlisted
men wounded.
Little Raven’s band of Arajciiioes. ami
Santanta’s band of Kiawas, were emca’.nped
six miles below Black Kettle’s Camp. About
eight or nine hundred of “the animals cu/>-
tiued were shot, the balance being kept for
miJitory
The highest credit, is due to Gen. Custer
and his command. The started in a furious
snow storm, and travelled all the while in a
snow about twelve inches deep. Black
Kettle’s and Little Raven's families are
among the prisoners. It was Black Kettle’s
baud that, committed the first depredations
on the Saline and Solomon rivers, in
Kansas.
The Kansas regiment has just come in.
They missed the trail and had to struggle in
the snow storm. The honsc.s suffered much
in flesh, and the men were living on buffalo
meat and game for eight days. We will soon
have them in good condition. If we can get
one or two more good blows, there will be no
more Indian troubles in my department. We
will be pinched in ability to obtain supplies,
and Nature will present many difficulties in
our winter operations, but we have stout
heiirt? and will do our best. Two white
children wore recaptured. One white woman
and a boy leu years old were brutally mur
dered by'the Indian women when the attack
commenced.

The Pacific R.uu:o.u>.—Accord

Pacific Railroad Company is a corpo

It is not, perhaps, generally known
that the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany are. and have been, doing for
their employees what few, if any, cor
porations ever did before. They have
established at various points along the
road (and a very large one here in
Cheyenne) depots of supplies from
which their hands are supplied at
Eastern prices, transportation cost
ing them nothing. The company also
have established hospitals on the most
extensive scale, with all the modern
appendages and improvements, em
ploying the best medical talent of the
country', where all the sick or wound
ed in their employ are attended to
and supplied with nurses and every
thing for their comfort, and all with
out any charge. Such liberality as
this is too rare in this selfish world to
be let pass without notice.
