The Radical Organ of yesterday ooo-
t»Jn« ■ rery lengthy Executive Proclama
tion, in which he quote* a petition to
hi*, signed by Henry Clews and Theo.
8. FoWler, “pertnen in business” in
New York city, “as bankors under the
name, firm and atyle of Henry Clowe A
Oo." These meu aay they aro the hold
ers and owners of one hundred and sev
enty-five bonds of the Cortersville aud
Van Wert Railroad Company, of <0,000
each—amounting to $176,000, which are
indorsed by the State; that the interest
falling doe on tho 1st September, 1870,
has not been paid, and no interest has
since been paid; and they petition His
Exoellenoy forthwith to Beize and take
possession of all the property of the
Road, and apply the earnings to tho pay
ment of laborers’ liens, and interest due,
ka.
Mr. Conley complies with the prayer
of the petitioners, And places tho Road in
charge of Dan'l S. Printup, Esq., of
Rome, Ga., as agent of the Btate, and
gives him full power, ae snob agent of
the State, to take into his possession all
the property of the Railroad, and to con
trol and manage tho same as provided
by the laws oI the State.
Here is an illustration of the beauties
of State indorsement. This indorsement
is a part of the general aelieme of plun
dor oonoocted and oarried out by tho
gung who now constitute the Bond Ring.

be worth anything as an investment to

built without State aid. The
procuring of that indorsement
was an intentional frond Upon
tho people of Georgia; .a swindling
operation, in the conception and earn
ing oat of which Henry Clews was, no
doqht, a prime act.) r. It seems to have
been on the same basis, manipulated by
tho sumo set of men, and fttr the time pur-
liners as the Brunswick and Albany Rail
road scheme; to get our State bonds to
operate on, sell them, pocket tire profits,

Bat we wish to call attention to an im
portent foot. Waiving, for the present,
all consideration of the foot that they
wore unlawfully and fraudulently issued,
and, therefore, told and not binding up-
on the people of Georgia, these identical
bonda have been superceded by thy issue
of Others, and are, therefore, no more a
claim against the State than n canceled

stand lightly, were isanec to the road be

fact is, no doubt, woll known to

at tho time—the same ss it wns to Kim
bell and Bullock. If Clews did not, at
tho time, know these last bonds covered
the whole road and, therefore, the 8175,
000 held by them should be returned, it
bespeaks for them a degree of iguoranoe
("'• and stupidity which they would not like
to be oeenaed of. If they knew it, they

House, and two, on the part of the
Senate, be appointed to make a complete
and thorough elimination of all the ac

ler-General and Financial Agent, since
their induction into oJfUe, with power to

Scott, and liis gang of fellow-thieves,
use<|*vcrr endeavor to restrain the com
mittee and prevent a divnlgeuee of the
frauds which they hod been commit
ting; but so unutterably flagrant were
the oOtragea that had been committed,
that the committee was compelled to re
port that:
Great swindles have been perpetrated;
that corrupt means have been used, and
alliances formed; that the money of the
State and the bonds issued have not been
disposed of as directed, aud that the un
warrantable violation of law, “For ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain,”
have no equal.
The committee chargee Scott, the car
pet-bag Ohioan, who sits in the Execu
tive chair, with having endeavored to
prevent the investigation. The words
used by the committee are:
The committee are compelled to say
that had it depended upon the co-opera
tion of the Governor, as to how far their
examination of persons and impers should
be carried, the work would have been
completed the moment it began.
The report then proceeds to show, as
related by our dispatches the other day,
that these frauds have aggregated the
enormous sum of twenty-nine millions of
dollars, which the people of South Caro
lina aro expected, by the bondholders, to
pay.
Certainly this is without a parallel in
this or any other country. The wicked
Tammany frauds dwindle beside this
state of affairs. And yet, while suffering
these grout wrongs, tho people of South
Carolina are suffering tho still greater
wrongs of being torn from their homes
and thrown into prison, almost without
form of law, and deprived of the benefits
Of that great instrument of personal lib
erty and protection which cost the world
so many centuries of blood aud endeav
or. Certainly tho people of South Caro
lina have cause to lament tho evil days
that have come upon them.
Let Clews A Co. send as much money
hore, to corrupt our Legislature, as they
please. It will do them no good. No
body will touch it If there is a single
man in tho Legislature mean enough to
take a bribe, he would be afraid to do so
note. The most ignorant Radical negro
in that body would spurn such an offer
with scorn. The soil of Georgia is be
coming unhealthy for the growth of such
plants as corruption.
One tliiug, however, wo may look for^
and that is, Clews will exert every possi
ble influence to iuduce our people to pay
his big accounts and the fraudulent
bonds he bolds against us.
We give it as our opinion that unless
Georgia pays him his usurious and out
rageous claims, and assumes and pays
the fraudulent bonds in which he and
Bullock aud the the Bond Ring are so
deeply interested, he is broke. Let it be
o. The wages of sin is death.
Philadelphia Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 22, 1871.
Editors Daily Sun: There is a great
dearth of political news with us now.—
All seem waiting for the action of the
party’s committee and convention to give
some shape to action, and a proper di
rection for interest. We are sold hefre,
and with the new year welcome another
term for the cormorants who have de
voured the people for years. The alreadv
heavy taxation bus been much increased,
and with continued plunder will be more;
and still the people yield. Whence their
deliverance will be, is undeveloped.—
They seem to be incapable of redeeming
themselves at present. We must only
learn to labor aud to wait.
“Veritas.”
Geu. John I). Gordon.
Gen. Gordon lias issued the following
card to the teachers in the Southern
States. He is devoting a largo portion
of his time to the introduction of the
school books of the University Publish
ing Company, which lie asks to be con
sidered by Southern teachers and people
solely upon their merits. He invites
scholars and critics to examine these
works thoroughly upon their merits.—
We invite attention to the General’s
card, which is in his usual earnest, for
cible and attractive style:
while tiiey *re relieved of all anxiety in
regard u> the character of the teachings
under which their children are brought
This subject, in all its bearings, it of
the highest importance to ns as a jieople,
my countrymen. It is not a sectional
movement, bat a national and patriotic
one. It is not a mere rivalry between
different publishers, or I would not pre
sume to ask jour attention to it It goes
down deep into our dearest interests; it
is the forming of the minds of your chil
dren aud mine, which is at stuke; the de
veloping of their self-respect aud charac
ter, which is to he the result
It is an enterprise so important to us
that our best citizens—onr representa
tive men in every State, to the number
of 300 and more, the men we all honor
and esteem—have pat their money into
the work, not to make profit out of it,
although that is oertain, bat that abun
dant means should not be looking to
prosecute the enterprise on the largest
scale.
Will the teachers and parents of the
South unitedly sustain these authors and
these gentlemen in the work thus de
scribed, by adopting and using these
books to the exclusion of all not so accep
table? I do not doubt your answer.
If you desire further information in re
gard to the books, write to the Univer
sity Publishing Company, 155 and 157
Crosby street, New York; or 54 Lexing
ton street, Baltimore; or to me at Atlanta,
Ga., and illustrated catalogues, and other
information, will bo sent to you at once,
without charge. J. B. Gordon.

A Dictionary.
Wc are glad to chronicle the fact that
the Board of Education have adopted
Worcester’s Dictionary for Public
Schools.
For a long time, Webster’s Dictionary
was considered the standard, aud, not
withstanding it had some serious defects,
that reoop;ni&ed supremacy might have
been retained for tho work for many
years, bat for the fact that its publishers,
in their latest edition, have converted it
into a political text-book for the Radical
School of Politicians.
The compilers of the last edition of
Webster have introduced into the body
of the work, snch slang words as “looo-
foco” and “oopperhoad.” Tho first is
defined “a member of the Democratic
party,*' and the last “a Northern sympa
thizer with the Southern rebellion;’
while the word “scalawag” has no politi
cal significance given to it, and “carpet
bagger” is not found in the work.
Tho most outrageous perversion of the
meuuiug of suoli words as “Congress,’
Compact, Constitution, “State,” aud all
Similar words, is resorted to in this late
edition of Webster, whereby it is the
Dictionary of a party—seeking to im
plant into the miuds of those who eon
suit the work, ideas of Centralism, and
Imperialism, in the Government of the
United States.
We are glad public attention is being
directed to this matter, and thut the great
work of Dr. Worcester is now being re
cognized us the standard of pure English
and correct definition.
In Webster’s Dictionary—edition of
1847—tho word Congress is thus defined:
••The Assembly of Senator*
of the Ui ’
attlultou _
united ui a Federal Republh
Iu the last edition the word is thus do
fined:
"The Aeeeiubly of Senator* aud lleproseutatives
of V* prupU our A Nation — e»|Mviauy of a Republic,
for tho purpose of Auiac-Ung law* ami considering
matter* or National into rent. amt i-oimtitutiug the
cht<f legislative body or TH ■ Nation."
The latter definition ignores the exis
tence of a compact aud of a Federal Be-
public. It is a bold attempt to suppress
the original meaning of the word and to
pave the way for an Empire aud u Dy
nasty. Whoever heard of a Nation hav
ing a Congress to make laws? A Con
gress is an assemblage of the Representa
tives of several independent nations or
States.
We might quote tho changed defini
tions of other words, but these are euough,
We shall notice other features of this die
tionary hereafter.
What Clews k Co., ami the
Plundering Bond Bing, are
Trying to Do.
We have a letter Irftm our Washing
ton coriRpondent which contains the
following items
The President has been urged by the
Henry Clews, Cameron, Delano influence,
to prevent the inauguration of Governor
J. Milton Smith. The President de
clines, however, to intervene. It is not
probable that he will ohange from his
preseut determination.
Henry Clews A Oo., the great bankers
and brokem of carpetbag bonds, have
sent quite a sum of money to Georcia
for the purpose of influencing legisla
tion in their interest*. Let the people
be watchful.
The refusal of President Grant to in
terfere to prevent Col. Smith’s inaugu
ration, and-to keep Judge Conley iu the
■iat be is usurping, and in this way to
save the Bond Ring from being utterly
crushed out, is just what we have been
predicting all the time—the oracular as
sertions of Radical minchief -makers and
a few weak-kneed Democrats, also a few
who were corrupted, to the contrary not
withstanding. The reason is as before
stated; be knew it would damage him
and bis party. The people of the Noitk
are learning the nature oi the oppressions
which have been heaped upon ns, and
the reasons lor the same.
il Representatives
id SLIum, aocui-oiug to tho pi-ueuut Oou-
puliUcnl compact, by which they arc
My excuse for addressing you must be
the great importance of the subject to
which I would call your attention—that
of tho proper education of our children
and the proper development of their self-
respect and character.
I need not repeat commonplaces in re
gard to the lasting effect of early impres
sions, tho almost impossibility of of di
verting the mind from the bent given it
in early years—all this you know as well
as I. Nor need I say anything about the
powerful Bilent influence, in this educa
cational work, of the school books from
which our children derive their views of
rightand wrong, and their knowledge of
the facts, or misrepresentations, of li
tory—for this, too, vou know full well.
Aud when I say that having been, for
long years, almost entirely dependent
upon tho North for our school books, we
hate been compelled to oho many which
were very distasteful to us, because wo
had no alternative, I only state that which
every reader oan substantiate.
Long before tho war we all felt the ne
cessity for a change in this respect—the
necessity for unobnoxiousschool looks—
for unsectionnl, unpolitical book
school books prepared by our own schol
ars, if that, might be; aud since tho war
this necessity has increased tenfold. In
dividual efforts, of the most praisewor
thy character have, from time to time,
been mode in this direction by Southern
men, but not of a sufficient comprehen
sive nature to accomplish the purpose in
view.
To fully meet the want thus universal
ly felt, several of our ripest scholars, and
most successful teachers, united iu pre
paring a Series of Sohool Books unsur
passed by any others in excellence, beau
ty and cheapness.
Maury wrote Geographies and Astron
omy;
Venable wrote Arithmetics, Algebras,
Am
Holmes wrote History, Grammars and
Readers;
Hchelede Vero wrote French Books;
Gildersleeve wrote Latin Books;
Le Oonte wrote Scientific Books;
Dnnton made Writing Books, kc., k
And tho combined series is called the
University Series of School Books; a
series not only not objectionable to onr
people, but- positively attractive to a de
gree heretofore entirely unknown. Our
history, institutions and modes of
thought here receive impartial treatment;
and instead of being ignored, the inter
ests of the South here receive equal rep
resentation.
Then ns to intrinsic merit, who knows
more nbouft Geography than Maurv, or
of History and Grammar than Holmes,
or of Mathematics than Venable, and so
on through all the list? Each author is
a master in his special department.
It is for this Series of books, so excel
lent, so AooeptAble, so cheap (they are
the cheapest books published) that your
favor is solicted.
The books of the University Series
ore presented distinctly upon their merits;
you are not asked to use Inferior books.
If these two questions can be answered
affirmatively:—
Are these books equal to any in merit?
Are they os cheap as any?
Should they not receive your prefer
ence? What is more reasonable than
that Southern Schools should be supplied
with books written by Southern scholars,
provided they aro equally good with those
written by Northern men? Is it not bet
ter both for us, nnd for our childreu, that
such books should be used?
Alreadv the response which was inevit
able, to this question, has come. More
than 5,000 of our best Southern Schools
are using these books; several Southern
States have already adopted them for ex
clusive use in their public schools; Coun
ty Boards in every Southern State are
adopting them; and tho best private
schools are replacing books hitherto used,
with them. The suoceaa of the “Univer
sity Series” is unprecedented in the his
tory of school book publishing, aud it is
destined to be vet greater.
Du the people of the South deeiro to
rid themselves of obnoxious books and
S warns teachings? Can it be better
> than by unanimously sustaining
this first comprehensive educational en
terprise of onr own scholars and by mak
ing the “University Series” the
uniform series in every southern state.
(jnoluding, of count, any other books
having equal claim for consideration.)
Our schools will then be supplied with
books which they oan long continue to
use; pupils compelled to change their
schools will no longer bo retarded in their
studies by a change of books, for all will
use the same; and parents will be saved
the expense of present constant changes,
