Wa yield out editorial space to-day to
an able and timely article by this organ
of the Democracy at the seat of the Fed
eral Government It appears in the is
sue of that paper of the 21st inslant It
shows most dearly that the leading men
of the Democratic Party are faat oomiog
to the consciousness of the fact, that the
great absorbing issues in the approaching
Presidential canvass, will be narrowed
down, in the end, to a contest between
Usurpations and Corruptions on one side,
and Constitutional Liberty on the other.
We oommend the artioie to the careful
perusal of earnest Democrats everywhere.
Tho outrages of the Governor General
of India—his robbery of the House of
Oude, and his mercenary wars upon the
RohlUas and Mahrattas were bnt misde
meanors compared with the much higher
crimes against the liberties of this conn-
try, committed by the Holing Dynasty
at Washington, in their moat wicked war
against the Constitution of the United
States, for the last five years—com mcnoed
and carried on by them after the war of
Secession was over; and after all of its re
sults were folly accepted;
which, by bayonets, the Government of
the States of tho Foderal Union have
been subverted and revolutionized, and
tlie people in them corruptly robbed, by
the instruments of Power and Usurpa
tion, of not less, in the aggregate, than
fivrty million. tf dollart of their snhstanoe!
Hastings’ malfeasance of receiving four
huumlrul thousand pounds sterling, for
letting loose bis mercenary bands upon
an unoffending people, shocked all Eng
land. What was this compared with the
iniquitous deeds of those who have com
mttted wrongs so much more monstrous
iu extent and character, all, too, confess
edly "outside of tho Constitution?”

When, in 1788, Edmund Burke brought
in Articles of impeachment AgeiuMt War
ren Hasting*, Governor Gcueralof India,
for high crimes and misdemeanor!*, he
meant aomething. It was not, for him,
im occoaion for an ornamental display of
rhetoric, or an histrionic exhibition of
spurious feeling. He was above any
thing spurious at such a time. His own
gri-utness, the greatness of his cause, the
greatness even of tho accused, forbiule
it. He rose os the cluumrion of the out
raged rights of men, aud on the minds
of all, nocuscrs and accused, ho left no
doubt that he wus indeed the oliampion
that he claimed to be. He had accusa
tions of the most grave character to
make, aud ho made them -made thorn
in a manner worthy of himself and wor
thy of the occasion; and as they than
dered through the British Empire, with
amazing eloquence aud power, there was
ia all tile reuhn ud living soul that did
nut feel, through oii tho crimson of his
blood, that Mr. Burke wus profoundly in
earnest.
It is onr misfortune in this oonntry to
lisve a worse than a llastiuga to deal
with—a swarm of such—a hydra-headed
criminal, compared with which Warrcu
Hastings was su exemplary character.
Wemoaujwe could weau nothing else,
for H Is the worst thing that ever rose to
emiueuoo on American soil,) that incar
nation of wicked ness, the Radical party,
which ia daily and systematically tread
ing nnder its feet every cardinal prinoi

ollv exalting iuto supremacy every cardi
nal principle of a despotic, Government
Even the worst that was charged against
Warren Hustings, aud which brought
around liia head tho accusing thunders
of a Burke, were venial crimes in com
parison with the aggravated assaults
ruthlessly made by this, our Dostroyiug
Angel, upon tiie very life-principle, em
bedded iu our institutions, of those great
trnths of enlightened Government,
evolved from the couilict of ages, which
have transformed barbaric into civilised
P iles. England had her Hastings,
he was not her worst) hut let it
not be forgotten, she had her Burke too.
II Hustings deserved at the bunds of
the British people thu opprobrium of be
ing, os he was charged, “the common
enemr and oppressor of nil,” and the
punishment due to such a character, how
much more do our swarming Hostiugsos,
who have so far outstripped him ui the
darkest political iuiquitics, deserve at
tho hands of tho American people a like
opprobrium, immeasurably intensified,
and a commensurate punishment ? Echo
answers: How much more! How much
more 1 But who—who are to be the
prosecutors of these ravogers of the best
that belongs to the best example's of civil
{government, scorners of tho sacred her
itage of politioal maxims which enlight
ened thought, and bloody conflict
aud time liavo won from det,i>otio sys
tems and their defenders? Who are
to lay bore, with manly words, with
moving earnestness, with deep oonvio-
ttonl, without paltriness or Mitering, with
a stern sense of what it it to tramplo un
der foot maxims so dearly bought, so
\ deaflyf prized by soy people that is free,
His full measure, with all their darkness
and deformity, of the crimes committed
by those combined Radical revolutionists?
Certainly such • prosecution, such an ex
posure Ahd the needed reform are not to
be looked for at the hands of Uiefc oonfed-
eratei end oo-ooDapirators. there i
manifestly Wo possible hope in that di
rection. It is not common for the tews

. guilty te -hold the guilty up to oommon
ooncioosuess
people a just sense of the most grave
1 and startling offenses committed and
j being committed against their liberties,
: and by whom the offenses came*.
I Disavowing any dispositiou to with-
I hold any expression of approval thus f.»r
i of the course of our representatives in
Congress, we cannot help saying to them,
especially in all earnestness, being im
polled thereto by a strong, indignant
sense of how, on the right hand uud on
the left, the people are being robbed,
not only of tiier substance, (for this,
serious as it is, compared with the rest
that is being sacrificed, is but of minor
consequence,) but, one by one, of the
very essentials of their freedom, and that
the occasion is one that demands of them
the full measure of their powers in hearty,
indignant, downright, bitter denuncia
tion of the monstrous usurpations, the
flagrant wrongs against the people, the
destroying, revolutionary proceedings,
and the startling crimes, in many forms
and in many fold, tending, if not de
signed, to subvert the Government, which
are perpetrated almost daily by the in
solently r volntionary party, of w hich
General Grant is the head, and the ma
jority in Congress the month piece.
If there ever was a time it is now when
the representatives of the people, (of the
nonest masses and sot the corrupt office
holders,) having the true welfare of the
people honestly and deeply at heart,
should arraign the people's enemies and
the destroyer* of their rights with vehe
ment accusations, tear away vithout
mercy the wvotched subterfuges employed
by them to cover their enormities, and
hold them up to that severe correction
and condemnation, if not scorn, which
they so greatly deserve. It is no time
for measured opposition, for decorous
disagreement, for faint-hearted charge,
milTdissuasive*, j layful sally, whispered
accusation; it is a time for thunder by
the eloquent tribunes of tho people. The
country should ring from end to end with
the indignant voice of patriotic men,
risen equal to tho emergency, calling the
usurpers to account, and waking the peo
ple—if, unhappily, they need waking—
to the dangers that beset them. That these
dangers exist, and iliat they ore threat
ening to the last degree, no thoughtful
and honest man can deny. That they
should be pointed out to the people in
all their magnitude and force, and with
them be pointed out for the lash of jus
tice the party and the men who have
brought these dangers, with all their
brood, grown and ungrown, upon us, is
equally indisputable. Let it be done,
with a deep sense of tlio obligations that
rest upon patriotic men, the chosen guar
dians of the oommon weal. A worse
state of things could hardly exist; a bet
ter hardly be hoped for without some
such arraignment of the cri minals as we
huve indicated. Let the arraignment bo
made, the guilty brought to judgment,
“ami where the offense is there let the
the great axe fall.”

THE END APPROACHING.
The Long Night of Political
Darkness Vanishing Before the
Brightness of the Coming Day.
We congratulate the people of Geor
gia and the entire country upon the pros
pect before us. The end of the tyranny
of carpet-bag rule aud robber baud su
premacy in this State is rapidly approuch-
ing. The same causes w hich are bring
ing about this result are operating effect
ually in tho entire Houth, uud, ere long,
by peaceful means, wo shall be relieved
from the grasp of the cormorant crew
who have plundered and oppressed ns.
Bullock lied from justice, and, ui wo
predicted at the time, ho will come back
when he can go nowhere else—such, at
least, are tho indications. He tried hard
to get Grant and tho Radical Faction to
send him back with power in his hands
and bayonets at his command. He want-
ed to continue his j hindering* under bayo
net protection, and tv crunk out all in re litiga
tion of his conduct. He has utterly
FAILED I
Acting Governor Conley has put forth
his might *o usurp tho Executive func
tions for the remainder of Bullock’s
term. Every effort was tried, and every
influonco brought to boar, to preveut
the people from holding an elec
tion, and to invoke tho interference
of Grant and his bayonets to uphold thu
userpation. The Bond Ring exerted
itself and did wlmt it could. Thefraudit-
lent bonds constitute the last hope—the only
means—by which ire ran be further plun
dered by the cormorants; henco the groat
importance to them of keepiug tho Exec
utive Department and the Supremo Court
iu Radical hands. No doubt the assist
ance of bayonets in this work would lihve
been given, but a point has been reached
where tho Fodoral Government dared
uot any further resort to such measures.
It was prudeuee, aud a fear of the con
sequences at the North, dnd uot from any
sense of justice, desire to do light, or
disposition to let us govern ourselves
peaceably aud lawfully, that these wicked
dcsigus were uot carried out by the help
of military power.
We learn that Mr. Conley will retire
gracefully, most probably without another
word of protest His captiousness so far
has only mode him ridiculous. The ob
ject in view is unattainable, and the hope
of it has vanished!
Blodgett failed to obtain a seat in the
Senate. This would have been given
him, utterly regardless of law, principle
or justice, but the Radical Faction,though
having tho power and tho inclination to
do so, dared not! The usurpers are afraid
to further pursue their usurpations.
There is a weakening—a giving way—
of the Radical party at every point. The
proceedings in Congress dearly demon
strate this. In (Georgia its bottom has
dropped out, or, to change the figure, its
book is broken. It is no more in the
way, and will scarcely ever bo organized
again. Even in the next Presidential
it will make but a feeble,,
sickly show.

For the New Year.
This is our last weekly issue for 1871.
Our enterprise, taken hold of in May
lust, has been, und«-r the circumstances,
very successful. We have labored to
make The Hen? a tree exponent of cor
rect political principles, and an accepta
ble family visitor.
We Lave, with what ability we possess,
exposed and denounced public plunder
ers and the corruptions and fell designs
of the Radical party, and shall continue
to do so. Wo favor honesty and econ
omy in the administration of the State
and Federal Governments,, and relief
from tlie burdens and tyranny under
which tho whole country—North as well
os South—have suffered at tlie hands of
the profligate Radical crew who
have, through violence oiul fraud and a
recklcbs disregard of the laws of the
land and their oaths, 4 usurped the reins
of power; aud whose whole administra
tion has been marked by a series of out
rages upon Constitutional Liberty
throughout the Union, aud the most op
pressive bayonet rule iu tho Southern
States.
That day of high riot is drawing to a
close, we earnestly hope and believe.
We shall, in the future, pursue the same
course as in tho past.
We shall labor to secure an overwhelm
ing triumph over the Centralists and Im
perialists in the ecming Presidential
election; and if the Democratic party
will but be true to itself and the best in
terests of the whole country, victory will
perch high upon our banners, and the
country will once more be the home of
the free, rejoicing in restored Liberty
and tho bright hope of a happy and
prosperous career iu the future.
We ask the friends of Liberty, of law,
order, and good Government, everywhere,
to aid us in extending our circulation, aud
thus in the disseminution of correct
political principles. Our Weekly is the
largest and most handsomely printed iu
the State, and is really tho cheapest ;
while our club rates are very favorable.
We invite attention to the same. There
is scarcely a post office iu tho country
where a club could Viot be made up, with
very little effort on the part of one or
two friends. Commence with the new
year, ujid try us twelve months.

Bullock’s Hand Exhibited.
Eiiitors Daily Snn: I clip the follow
ing New York telegram from a Western
paper:
Bank Examiner Callender.
Nkw York, DftOftmbar 'JO, Evening.— It ia alleged
that Hank Examiner Callender woe employed by the
Portage Canal Company to negotiate loaua, and that
he borrowed up * * “ • - - * ' *
f 000,000, I *
from tho Oconn Hank, agreeing to depoait os collat
eral the securities he won about to take up irom the
bauke. Thus tho PorUgo Company aaved from
Portage Company. That with the other banka waa
tho oauic. and 100,000 nominally of Uie Chicago
Southern Illinoie Hatlrnad honda, and notra of A.
Wild. L. Win. Avery, P. ti. Avery aud J. E. Conant,
nmoiiutlug to ouo hundred thousand dollars. The
two Averya arc tho President and Counsel of the
Portage Company, aud, with Governor Unlloel. .. e
hind to have been the company In tho Arm of 1
Oonaut ft Co., In Wail street. Wild is tho hauiu
against whom a petition iu bankruptcy waa recently
filed.
Now I would like to know if the
Averys aud Conant mentioned are tlie
same parties who figured so conspicuous
ly, a short time ago, in Georgia. W. L.
Avery, I think, must bo the same indi
vidual who promised, and agreed to pay
Varney Gaskili $30,000 if he would se
cure an immediate issue of the bonds in
favor of tho Brunswick and Albany Rail
road. Conant must be the same fellow,
who had his office in the Capitol Build
ing, and was connected iu some way us it
contractor on both tho Brunswick and
tho Cartersville Railroads as a member of
the firm of J. Edwin Conant A Co.
Aud it turns out if (ho statement
made in this item be true, that Governor
Bullock was a member of this delectable
firm, whoso voracious maw has, doubt
less, eugulohed Stale bonds, so-called, (is
sued by our renegade Governor,) to the
umoi.ut of millions.
Perhaps Conant, the Averys anil Wild,
f sent fn', and properly interrogated,
might bo able to givo information, that
would facilitate tho investigation of the
committee appointed to ventilate the
bond questiou. Tax Paybb.
Note.—We havo been patiently wait
ing-knowing that, sooner or later, Bul
lock’s hand would be shown, and that
the place where ho “dipped in,” would
be pointed oat. This point has, so far,
been well concealed. It lias been con
jectured by many that ho had an interest
in tlie Kimball House; by others that he
had an interest in the State Road Lease.
The first is improbable and tho other is
emphatically and authoritatively denied.
It will most likely turn out that he had
an interest in the Bond Ring schemes,
and of the swindling contracts which he
assisted.—Eds. Sus.
and, therefore, worthless. Quite a num
ber of the bankers, dealers in stocks and
moneyed men of Atlanta were on hand,
and we think it not unlikely that some of
the members of the Bond Ring were
there—though we do not know. Under
these circumstances the Bonds of the
State payable in Gold, issued by Rufus
II. Bullock, sold for less than the value
of a very cheap song—showing that they
are publicly esteemed as invalid, and not
worth a ccLt. A banker of this city who
was present, remarked that ho would not
*give the value of the paper they were
printed cn for them.
As we said, we think it not improbable
that some were present, who hold some
of these illegal and fraudulent bonds,
and are claiming their fall face from the
State; yet, when they had an oppor
tunity to boy five thousand dollars
worth of them, could not be induced to
bid over $G30 for them. If none of the
holders of these bonds were present,
some were iu the city, who mast have
known of the sale, and if they had had
any faith in these swindling bonds be
ing a legal claim against the State, they
would have been present, and would not
have missed the opportunity to purchase
$5000 of them for but little over one-
tenth of that amount
This shows tlie estimate which the
Ring party place npon the value and va
lidity of Bullock’s fraudulent issues of
bonds.
The truth is, they are worthless. They
were issued for the purpose of defraud
ing, in violation of the provisions of the
Constita.ion and laws. Let the Legisla
ture set them aside forever, on the ground
ol their fraudulent character.
[From the Greensboro, 0*., Herald, Dec. 21, 1871.
Ex-Gov. Brown Speaks.
It s«*ems a miserable carpet-bagger
named Ike Seeley, lias issued a circular
directed to tho negroes and urging them
to resist the puyment of the poll tax.
One of these he also directed to his per
sonal aud political friend, Hon. Jos. E.
Brown, which has called forth from that
gentleman a very able and conclusive re
ply, and frank and timely vindication of
the Legislation of Georgia on this sub
ject. We are gratified to see this letter,
and regret that our space will uot per
mit us to give it entire. The conclud
ing paragraph is well pot, and should
teach the Government at Washington a
lesson of wisdom. He says :
“The Republican party has been con
stantly weakened, until it is almost de
stroyed iu Georgia, by the repeated acts
of Congress during the period of recon
struction, prompted no doubt by unwise
counselors professing to speak for the
State, who cither misunderstood the true
condition of things here, or willfully
misrepresented it In either case the
effect was the same. Congress has been
misled and popular sentiment here has
been outraged to au extent that has ren
dered it impossible for the supporters of
the Administration to stand before it
with any-prospect of success, I think
it is time unwise legislation should cease,
and I protest against further enactments
of the character contemplated by you,
and others who assist you, iu your pro
posed movement
Tho wisest thing, ia my judgment,
that Congress could do for Georgia,
would be to conciliate her people and
show them that it is the intention to deal
justly aud liberally by them. If a gen
eral act was passed sweeping from the
statute book, the last vestige of political
disability that rests upon any of her
citizens, and she were lett as other States
are to manage her own iuternul affairs, iu
her own way, it would do more to restore
peace, harmony, loyalty, and good gov
ernment in the State than anything else
that is now iu the power of tho Federal
Government to do.
Those Fraudulent State Bonds—
Tueib Real Value Tested.—On Satur
day last. Col. Geo. W. Adair sold at pub
lic outcry, in this city, after advertising
the same in the daily papers of tho city,
five bonds of the State, i>ayable in gold,
issued to tho Brunswick and Albany Rail
road, in place of tho second mortgage
bonds of that road, of the denomination
of $1000 each—$5,000 in all.
At tho same time he sold $15,000
worth of the Atlanta Ice Company’s atock,
on which 50 per cent., or $7,000, bad
been paid in.
The whole amount obtained for the Ice
stock and the State bonds was sir hun
dred and thirty dollars—all told!
The loo stock is valuable. The ready
cash market value of that sold is con
sidered to be at the very least $4,000,
and the reason it did not bring more is
that there was a foar of the validity of the
transfer or title of the same. It bad
passed through hands whose touoh was
suspicious, and the fear of losing the
stock after paying for it ] re vented mon
eyed men from bidding for it
Bnt the State bonds sold squarely on
their real merits. Nothing was in the
way of their briugiug a fair price
