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 ' all Custom Hou-i and Internal Rev- 1 enue Official* who ure getting rich, or whose friends arc getting rich. Show us the kind of liquor an official drink*, the style <d team he drives, ami the number of disreputable houses he visits, and. nine cases out of ten, we will tell correctly whether he i* rob.

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. Goon.—The N. A'. Times says that now that Oakky Hajj. has been elected Mayor of New York, that city- will be ruled by Oakey Hall, Tammany Hall, and Alcahol. a- —.... 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.

General Sheridan makes the follow ing report of the defeat of an Indian 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 . lifiutnnt General Ihp't of the Missouri: 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- I re St onfc’t'OT.incirm'T-h AbeaS'Sai/j.'UiftfWi 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. P. H. Sheuidan, Major General Commanding. The Pacific R.uu:o.u>.—Accord ing to the Cheyenne Star, the Union Pacific Railroad Company is a corpo ration with souls. The editor say-s: 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. <ar • .Mrs. Stanton says of Mrs. Wins low's soothing syrup, that she don’t Iwlieve there is a Mrs. Winslow, and says that is “compounded by some ignorant man in whiskers, broadcloth and boots, wljp lives and fattens on ill-gotten gains, while babies are sent by the hundreds to untimely graves, •>r made idiots or lunatics for life.” SPECIAL NOTICES.
