The Alabama Legislature did no regu
lar business on Tuesday, tho day being
devoted to tho inauguration. Wo copy
Gov. Houston's address elsewhere. In
the Senate, Lioutonant Governor Ligon
was installed as presiding officer, and de
livered a Tory appropriate ad dross.
Mb. Amor West, who was reported to
have been murdered at Ccdartown, Ga.,
on account of his Republican polities, has
tnrned up in porson, well and lively, to
eontradiet tho report. He was lately from
Hartford, Conn., and tho report of his
assassination by Georgia Ku-klnx was
sent to the Hartford Pant, and published
in that paper.
A nephew of Thaddous Stephens died
last week, and his doatli releases tho os-
tate of his unolo from a contingency that
has heretofore prevented its final disposi
tion. By the will, this nephew, had ho
complied with its conditions in his life
time, might hsvo hecomo the possessor
of most of tho estate. But as he did not
oomply with the conditions, the estate
will now bo devoted to tho founding of
an orphan asylum in Lancaster for tho
bonefit of persons of all denomina
tions races and colors.
Tmt Atlanta Herald nays that Dr. Little,
State Geologist, will soon visit Oolntnbus
or its neighborhood, to trnoo out a vein of
marl, which he has alrosdy traced through
Mississippi and Alabama, and which ho is
pretty certain runs from tho Ohattahoo
ohee near Columbus across Georgia up to
Burke eouuty.
This vein has beon struck at several
points on or near tho Mobile and Girard
Railroad, aud one of these points is near
Seale. Bat we are not informed as to the
locality where it crosses the Chattahoo
chee. The tracing of the vein into Geor
gia will be interesting, and wo hope may
prove beneficial to the agricultural inter
est. Dr. Little has a high opinion of tho
value of this marl an a fertilizer, when
combined with others.
In tho Fourth Congressional District of
Alabama (Hay’s) at the recent election,
4S,7(i9 votes were oast, 7,666 more than
at the election of 1872, being considera
bly more than ono-fifth of the wbolo
vote cast iu the Ntato. The oounties
overrun by Federal troops, Marshals and
Detectives werj Himiter, Hale sml
Greene, and in thevo oountios the Radical
vote was largely increased, notwithstand
ing the heavy negro emigration from
them last fall and winter. Had each of
tho six Congressional Districts voted thus
largely, the total voto of the Htato would
have reached 262,254. Iluy's majority in
the District was about six thousand. It
is evident that there was fraudulent
voting, as well as persecution and intim
idation of the Domocrats, in that Dis
trict, aud tho noit Congress ought to in
stitute a searching investigation.
A Union of Tebbob in the Coal Re
gions.—Tho Philadelphia Chronicle says :
If a tithe of the lawlessness that now pre
vails in tho coal regions of this State pre
vailed in the South, wo should have an
immediate call made upon the President
for troops, nnd our Republican co tempo
rarioa would bristle with indignation, hut
whea in tho siuglo county of Luxorno six
white men aro cruelly murdered, and
sooros of others brutally assaulted, those
outrage shriokers have nothing to sjjy.
Why? Suppose six negroes had been
murdered in Louisiana, Arkansan or South
Carolina, what would our Republican co-
toinporaricR have to say ? Is not a white
ninn's lifo as valuable as a negro’s, and is
it not as proper to shriek out aguint such
outraged in our own State as agaiust tho
apocryphal onoa of the South ?
The storm of Suuday night was very
severo and destructive at other poiuta
than those in Alabama from which the
groatest disasters aro reported by tele
graph. The Rome Commercial says that
near Ccdartown the storm wus very se
vere. At the Ghorokoo Iron Company’s
farm, tho gin house was unroofed, three
tenement houses blown off their found n-
dations and scattered for hundreds of
yards through the field. Capt. Griffith’s
residence was unroofed, leaving the fam
ily to tho mercy of tho storm, wind ami
rain for the balauco of the night. Trees
iu tho yard were uprooted, bee gums
Mown over, window sash nnd glass blown
out, orchard trees leveled with the ground,
besides other damage around generally.
Fortunntoly no lives were lost.
BPRUE PAYMENT*—MODE
MONEY.
It is pretty w#ll settled (if newspaper
reports from Washington can. be relied
oo) that President Grant will,In hi* *hort-
ly forthcoming message,*urge upon Con
gress measures preparatory to an early
return to speais payments. As the tneaua
of bringing about this desirable result are
not so well defined, it is premature to dis
cuss the practicability of the measnro
without greatly embarrassing the busi
ness of the country. We may say, how.
ever, in a general way, that there is no
party in the country more in favor of a
specie-paying enrrenoy than the Demo
cratic party, and this desire is confined to
no Ktate or section—it is one of the cardi
nal principles of tho party. The advocate
of more currency is not necessarily an ad-
vocate of irredeemable currency—in the
present condition of the country and its
finances, he is not even presumptively so.
It is believed by many (and we are of
them) that tho immense revenues of this
Government, with its vast resources, aro
sufficient to sustain a return to specie
payments at any time, without lessening
the volume of the currency. But a ma
terial chango in the present financial aud
revenue policy of the Government seems
to be prerequisite. We do not see how
resumption isever to be reached if the Gov
ernment continues to collect all tho gold
and silver coin for its impost duties, thou
pajH it out to its bondholders for interost,
they in turn selling it to the importing
merchant* to be again paid into the Treas
ury and perform the satno round over
again. It seems to our crude perception
that the Government most do one of two
things boforo it can make a start in tbo
business of specio payment, or in bring
ing its curreucy np to par value, which is
substantially the same thing. It must
either stop paying all the specie, a* soon
as colleotod, to the bondholders, and al
low it to be used in the bnsinoss transac
tions of the people, or it must honor its
own paper by receiving it for all dues to
the Government. Tho only difficulty in
tho way of roceiving legal ten
ders in tbo payment of impost
duties is the necessity of raising so
much gold and silver money to pay tho
bondholders their interest. But if tho
Govornment makes its legal tenders re
ceivable in payment of all its revenues,
say $200,000,000 now collected in specie
for tariff duties may be paid in green
backs, would ffbt this very measure bring
the Government paper monoy so near par
ms to prevent any complaint that tho bond
holders wore legally entitled to a bettor
currency ? It would require tho passage
through the onstom houses annually of
one-fourth tbo greenback currency of tho
country, and would ohviato tho grout de
mand for specie that enhances its value.
Wo may be ajittlo biased by prejudice in
our estimate of the money brokers; but
wo do honestly beliovo that, possessing
tho power and resources which thoy now
possess in this country, they will not per
mit tho success of any Government effort
to roturn to specie payments, so long as
its policy gives them tho purchase aud
sale of $200,000,000 in gold annually, in
itnoxchango from the hands of tho favor-
od bondholder to that of tho needy im
porting merchant. Thoy make too much
money by this exchange to givo it up, as
long as they have the power to rotain it;
and if the Government money is brought
up to par with gold, they will of conrso
have to give up these profits.
A return to apeoie payiueuts by a con
traction of the volume of the currency
will not be acceptable to tho people of a
large portion of the country, especially to
the sections now oompluining of a defi
ciency of currency. Tho faot cannot bo
ignored that, undor tho prosout system,
somo sections may be “flush" while oth
ers have not currency enough for their
commercial purposes. Tho Bouth is not
tho only section thus circumstanced. Tho
great West also fools the grievance. Their
produoe of agriculture and live stock is
often dependent for its market value not
so much upon tho law of supply and de-
iuaud as upon the now code of the produce
cornerors aud tnonoy changors, nnd these
have their homes and interests iu the
great cities of tho country—Now York,
Chicago, Arc. The agriculturists and
Htock raisers of tho Bouth and West find
tboir industry shncklod and their inter
ests paralyzed by tho coutroi which these
speculators nnd monied men linvo ob
tained over tho markets of tho country.
By thiH control of the imiuouso indus
tries aud commerce of vast portions of
tho Union, they make this couutry koen-
ly realize
“How wlilo the limits stand
Botwcon a splendid and a happy land/’
Cannot these important products of
tbo Bouth and Wost ho made tho basis of
banking “accommodations" to tho pro
ducers, instead of continuing to be tho
stakes for which gambling speculators
piny, to the utter disregard of the inter
ests of tho producers? Heroin, iu our
judgment, consists the healthful solution
of tho prevailing business embarrass
ments of tho couutry. Under our old
banking systems the crops of tho plant
ers were really the basis for such accom
modations; for though tho growing crops
were not actually pledged to bankers, as
they now are to merchants and others, a
planter's means constituted the basis of
his credit nnd enabled hiui toobtuiu snub
advances or loaus as ho ueeded. Tho
bonds of tho Oovjrnnienfc being mostly
in thohond8 of Eaatorn capitalists, we do
not see how banking restricted to tho do-
Kki.loog'b returning board is still mak
ing “haste slowly" in counting the votes.
On Monday, tho board, after somo oppo
sition on the part of ouc of the Radical
mombera, determined to count tho whole
vote of Now Orleans, notwithstanding
alleged informalities in tho muking of the i 1 W8 ^ °I bonds can adjust tho amount of
curreucy to tho business wants of oacli
section. But if the production ot a sec
tion can bo made the basis of i‘s circu
lating medium and tho moasuro of the
crodit of its producers, a proper adjust
ment would seem to ho an easy matter.
Thus viewing the matter, our impres
sion \% that substantial, durable and
i legitimate relief to tho portions of the
roturns from somo of the DUtricts. The
only parishes from which the board hud
not receivod the official roturuu on Mon
day wore DeSoto aud Lsfayotto. The

We learn from tbo Atlanta Herald

in the second story of tho jail. A re
ward of $500 is offered for the apprehen

President (Irani and the Civil Rlfthta
Bill.
The President, in conversation upon
tho Civil Rights bill, is reported as having
exprossed the opinion that he has always
looked upon some of tho measures advo
cated in that connection as exceedingly
unwise; that ho does not think that legis
lation designed to regulate tho social rela
tions of any class of people is judicious,
and generally gives riso to a state of feel
ing calculated to do more mischief than
good. There were some things which had
better find their own level than to force
results out of the natural course. Every
citizen, he believes, is entitled to cortain
rights, and be he white or black, rich or
poor, those rights should bo enjoyed in
uutrammolod freedom. So far, he hus fa
vored civil rights, but when it has
been brought up as a social ques
tion, m which Congressional inter
ference con effect uo bemliciul re-
suits, and only annoy a very large, intiu-
ontial and intelligent class, ho haH oppos
ed uuy furthor stops; aud had the bill be
fore Congress last session beon presented
for his signature, os already known, lie
would have vetoed it, uud that be will do
with any other bill of a similar nature
with similar provisions on social ques
tions. In tho matter of mixed schools,
the President is reported to have remark
ed that to enforce such a moasuro would
be of no servico to the colored man, and
would destroy tho common schools of the
United States, and deprive the poor of all
elasses of an education. What chango
there might bo in public sentiment in tho
future he thought tlio future had better
detormino. It was quite evident to him
that mixed schools would drive away
tho childron of a large class who neod
education, and for whom tho free
schools wero first established. IIo
only alluded in this matter to tho past of
tho national government. As far us tho
notion of the States wan concerned, that
was a question entirely looal and for them
to decide. If pnblio sentiment favored
mixod schools they could hove them, but
it wan no part of tho duty of Congress to
force such a measure whether or not upon
communities of antagonistic viows. The
President thiuks that there should bo ap
propriate provisions everywhere for the
education of the colored race; nnd expe
rience has already demonstrated that
where the numbers are great they should
havo their own schools sml a proportion
ate share ot the receipts for the support
of schools; aud where tho numbers arc
small, they havo almost universally been
admitted to tho public schools of the
whitoM.
ALABAMA 9KVB>
—Governor Houston has appointed
Gapt. Ike Vincent, of Chambers county,
Recording Secretary of the Executive of-
floe.
—The Tuskegee Neves strongly urges
npon p’outers ot Msoon county to give
the preference to negroes who voted the
Democratic ticket, in hiring labor for next
year.
—At an auction in Tnskegeo on Satur
day, fine mules brought from thirty-three
to ninety dollars. Cotton seed 13 cents
per bushel. Com 90 oents per bushel.
Fodder 90 cents per hundred. Sweet po
tatoes HO cents per bushel. Hay 37 eouts
per hundred.
—The State Journal estimates the cot
ton receipts at Montgomery for the cur
rent year at 60,000 bales at least. Wo be
lieve that Montgomery will get largely
more than 60,000, judging from tho
amount already received there. Unless
she does, Columbus will draw out ahead
again.
—The Montgomery Advertiser says that
shipments ot Alabama iron are daily be
ing made over the Selma, Rome and Dal
ton Railroad to Charleston, and thence to
England. This is rather reversing the
tide. It was but a few years ago that
England supplied the Western World with
iron.
[Communicated.]
Columous, November 25, 1874.
Messrs Editors;—I do not propose to
extend this communication further than
to say, that the title to Rock Island Paper
Mills Lot tens not accepted on my opinion,
and that if its acceptance had not been
sedulously concealed from me for three
years, I should have moved for a judg
ment vs. the Eagle Manufacturing Com
pany for about $7,000, which I only re
covered after a fierce contest in 1873.
I now maintain the opinion given in
that certificate, upon the facts presented
to mo at that time, and sm of the impres
sion that the attorneys who subsequently
gave their opinion, like myself, were nev
er called on to examine the ehain of title
by which the Rock Island Company claim
ed to hold. The validity of that title was
accepted by the Eagle and Phenix Manu
facturing Company os a foregone conclu
sion, aud the only questions submitted to
iuo were:
1st. The form of oonvoyanoe necessary
to divest the title ont of the Rock Island
Company.
2d. Whether there wero any liens against
the lot os the proporty of the Rock Island
Company.
I do not intend to discuss this question
further, or allow a side issue to draw off
the attention of the citizens of Columbns
from the main question:
1st. Ought tho city of Coiambus to give
up its title to the unimproved water lots?
2d. Ought they to insist on an author
ized acknowledgement from the Eagle
and Pheuix Manufacturing Company and
John J. Grant that they hold said proper
ty subject to all the conditions contained
in tho deed to John H. Howard and Jo
sephus Echols. R. J. Moses.
