Tba New Era has had the name* of Gnat gad Akernuta, for Pretident and Vice-President, floating at itt masthead for k>! these many day* Yesterday morning that flag wo hauled down— quietly, without saying a word/ What will the New Era do for a “pilot to guide the Ship of State,” bow that it haa thrown Grant overboard t (We be lieve Bard invented that word, which the Era ftill clings to). Mr. Scruggs has been in Washington for some time past, and has come back disconsolate. Grant has, no doubt, of fended him, as he has a large portion of hia party in the United States. P. a—It is hinted that the Era will be turned into a Democratic journal, but wo don't believe it. Clews a Co. Again. We had not room yesterday tor the let ter of Henry Clews k Co., addressed to the editors of the Comtitulion, but pub lish it to-day. We invite pubiie attention to the docu ment It is worthy of study. The more it is considered, the more it excites in dignatioo, and the more its venal charac ter appears. Clews k Co. ssy that they favored ob literating “the sectional feeling of en niity” growing out of the war; that they favored the “material development of the Southern States;’* that their “attention” was directed “to the State of Georgia in especial,” to “take the lead in the tide of progress,” and that to “promote" these objects, they “endeavored to aid the ef forts which were making to establish a railway system throughout the State,’ Ac., Are. Very praiseworthy—such disinterested, benevolent designs! not at all actuated by self interest! never once thought of joining a King to plunder the State and people whom they so loved and sympa thised with! never for a moment intend ed to aid public robbers, or participate in their spoils! Very patriotic! very philan thropic indeed! As we stated yosterday, Henry Clows Ac Co. could not but know that the Brnnswiok and Albany Railroad was a swindling concern, and they could not but know that, in selling the indorsed bonds of that Company, or tho State bouds issued in exchange for their sec ond mortgage, they were aiding, cither in defrauding tho peoplo of Georgia, or the purchasers of the bonds. It U a re flection on tlieir intelligence to suggest that they did not know all this. But we showed oonduaively that they wsre among the chief members of the swindling King, aud, therefore, aro parti ceps criminis in whatever of fraud that has resulted. We showed that there was no truth in the statement made by them with uutdushiug effrontery, that they hod HO inter est in the sale of these bonds beyond makiog an honest commis sion I Their patriotic pretentious, and pro fessions of sympathy and disinterested hooevahmee, remind us of a wolf that would uurso and fondle a lamb till it would be of sufficient Km to afford meal aud glut his savage maw. The law required the offlcrs of the ftofcl to execute and deliver to the Treas urer of the State its second mortgage bonds to the amount of 93,800,000, before any qf the State bomb in exchange should be delivered to the Road} Clews knew this, also; yet, knowingly, he received for negotiation and sale $880,000 ex change gold bonds of the State, when only $055,000 of the bonds of the Rood, had been deposited with the Treasurer. He afterwards reoeivod, for negotiation and sale, $1,880,000 of these exchange gold bonds of vhe State before another dollar's worth of the bonds of the Road bad been deposited with the State Tress urer—all this knowingly. Hia handsome pretensions have not the And characteris tic of truth or sincerity. We have Already given sufficient foots to show that the whole Brunswick and Albany Railroad enterprise wee an inten tional swindle—a huge fraud designedly perpetrated for no other purpose than that • of plundering our people that tlioeo on gnged in the work might fatten upon the spoils. Henry Clews was a member and an officer of the company, and a partici pant in whatever may have been the plaua, hopes and designs of the oomp&ny He was a member el the Ring, and no doubt played lot hi* share of the plun der. Henry Clews is a young man a Bedi cal pet—a lucky stock gambler, who* it is fluid, acquired his peslUen by being in tensely loyal and betting on gold during the war, and kept out of the Northern army because bn was an ummturaliiad foreigner. He has ainoe been fcneemed in such swindling enterprises as the Rnmnuiek k Albany, and Oartsmille k Van Wert railroads. Oar readers will all recollect the frightful acoount they bad against the State. It seems that they have also had, to some extent, the nknf 1 pelakng of a lot of currency bonds of the e SkMiOf Georgia, which were paid off, and culpable in this matter, we do not say, but there is a black history connected with it In tlie face of all this, Henry Clews k Co. have the impudence to read a lecture to the people of Georgia upon morals, and tho "infamy” of disowning our ob ligations! The devil quoting Scripture, ora fallen angel angel teaching virtue!— Tho people of Qeorgia are able to take care of their own honor, and will do fo without being advised thereto by any •uoh person us Henry Clews. In tuia.ounection, we call attention to the fact that our State Treasurer, Dr. Angior, has made provision to fully re deem the bonds of the State failing due the 1st day of January next They will be paid on presentation, either at the Treasu ry, or at the Fourth National Bunk in New York, and all the honest indebtedness of the State will be looked after and met at maturity, without any impertinent sug gestions from those who can’t escape the o<Hnm of assisting in defrauding ns. Henry Clews k Co. hud better take care of their own honor. They had better free themselves from suspicion, before lecturing os upon the preservation of our honor. From the Constitution of tho 27th Inst. belter from Henry Clews & Co. New York, December 20. Editor,f Constitution: Various articles which have appeared from time to time in your pa per, relating to bouds of the State of Georgia, with which we have been more or less directly connected, lead us to ask the privilege of your columns, for a brief word in relation to onr asso ciation with the Common* .'tilth. Immediately after the close of the late civil war, it was our conviction that the sectional feeling of enmity arising out of the strife, could be best obliterated by linking the North and South in identical interests, for the material development oi the Southern Stutes. From that time to the present, our efforts and our means have alike been turned in this direction, and we have given what aid has been in our power to movements tending to the end which wc believed profitable alike to the individual interests involved and to the country at largo. To the State of Georgia in especial, our attention was directed, fitted by geographical position and natural advautuges to take the lead in tho tide of progress, and to bo the centre of distribution for all Southern products; and as the ohief means to pro mote this end we liavo endeavored to uid efforts which were making to establish a railway system throughout the State,suit able to control a business which, before many years must prove of vast mogui tude, comprising trans-continental travel over at least one line of Pacifio Railway, and a largo proportion of traffic in the products of the Western States, which must naturally seek the shortest route to the seaboard. We were solicited by tho contractors of the Brnnswiok and Albany Railroad Company, among other concerns, to un dertake the negotiation of their securities, and deeming the enterprise one of great intrinsic merit, we undertook the nego tiation, and soul for them about $2,500, 000 of their first mortgage indorsed bonds, and about $500,000 of State gold bonds issued iu aid of the enterprise. In deal ing in these securities, we felt the utmost Confidence that we were recommending to our olients and friends a bond of un questionable worth, kuowing the high credit previously enjoyed by the State, aud the wealth aud character of tho peo ple. The best legal talent of our city ex amined tho laws and methods of issue of the bonds and pronounced everything order and valid. Tho seal of the State aud the signatures ot its officers proved that all forms had been complied with ia regard to registry aud other requirements of tho statute. Wo had no interest in the securities different from what we have in all similar business submitted to our care, viz: that our recommendation should be justified by the result to investors, aud our just commissions fairly earned. Alter we had successfully placed the greater portion of the railroad bonds we wero desired by tho late Governor to undertake the negotiation of a loan in behalf of tho State of Georgia, the au thority for which was showu to our coun sel, aud which appeared to have been sanctioned, not only by legislative enactments, but by popular need. We, therefore, readily undertook the business. The proceeds of $1,850,000 bonds wero placed to the crodjt of tho State, repre sented by its Executive, from whom we hod received the securities. A certificate of tho registry of the bonds At tho Comp troller's office and report to .ho Treasu rer by him for reoord was duly furnished os before undertaking the negotiation. The proceeds of the bonds, we were in formed, wero devoted to expenses attend ing the removal of the capitol of the Btate to the new seat of Govi-rmneat, to redemption of past due bouds, and pay. ing Hunting obligations of the State— purposes which seemed most titling and needful tor the public. The remunera tion received by us for all our negotia tions above referred to wj . such only ai is commonly paid iu like transactions, aud such as we had dai y Applications to undertake. The above is a full history of our con nectiou with the White. We have been actuated throughout by a feeling of friendliuoss towards the South at large, and by a desire in particular to assist ir furnishing the means essential to estab lish the Btate of Georgia in the positiou of the Empire State of the South. The securities which we have sold are dis tributed in numberless hands throughout Europe and this country, who, like our selves, have based thoir faith upon the seal and signature of the State. Any dishonor to its obligations on the part of the State, such os the counsels of some of the leuisiators would seem to indicate, must mil very widely on parties who have trusted to the reputation of tho State, unblemished heretofore in the financial world, aud who have known nothing, or cared for nothing, about political and sectional strifes, confiding in the belief that the financial interests of the Com monwealth must he cared for by what ever party predominated. Should Georgia disown obligations thus iaooraed, lb# infamy must extend through every pert of the financial world, And will result not only in shutting off the State from help in all future applica tions which may be made for loans, but also must close the avenues of capital to municipalities, corporations, and individ uals in a large measure throughout tho borders of the Btate. The experience of ether portions of the Un.oo is sufficient guide as to the evil policy of a Btate dis regarding its obligations. Least of all can Georgia afford to place itself among those few Btates which have in an evS hour repudiated their honest debts, just as capital and population are beginning to turn toward it. The money which has already been introduced in its borders, even though, perhaps, not expended with care as designed in the statute, as is now able property, aud rnent. resources for future development. Let Georgia honestly sus tain debts honestly contracted on the part of tho lenders, and in the future it can command in the moneyed world whatever means it may need. *Let it dis own its obligations, and henceforth its progress is checked; the tide of wealth is turned ia other directions, and every individual throughout its boundaries is dishonored. Wo offer these counsels at the dicta tion, not of any penonsl interest, but solely from a desire to urge upon the legislators of Georgia not to rashly and blindly incur consequences from which they cannot in all time escape. Very re spectfully, your obedient servonts, Henry A. Clews k Co. Simmons, Chairman, care of N. L. An- gier, State Treasurer, Ailsnta, Oa.
