MONDAY JANUARY 4. 167A
ANOTHER EXTRA.
Advertiser* shook! bear in mind that on
the 22nd of Febrnary, 1875, I propoae lo
iMue, for free distribution, an extra edi
tion of WITT THOUSAND COMBS of the ftUH-
BAT Ehquibbb—an eight page seventy-two
eolumn paper. Bend in your “ads" be
fore all the space is taken.
A. R. Calhoun,
Proprietor.
A MONDAY PAPER.
As before announced, we propose here
after to publish the D«ilt Ehquibbb on
Monday instead of Sunday aa heretofore,
making the Sunday a separate and die-
tinet paper. This invokes on us much
additional work and a large outlay of
money, but we do it in accordance with a
long considered plan. The Sunday paper
bad increased so mnch that we felt it best
to separate it from the daily, and thus add
to its departments and interest, our great
hope being in the course of years to build
up a great family paper, that should im
prove with its increased circulation.
The paper on Monday is a necessity, and
we think without vanity a good
index of the enterprise manifested by the
proprietor of the Enquibbb. The inten
tion was lo have increased the price, but
we would prefer a large circulation at low
figures, and will, therefore, retain the
subscription for the daily of last year.
Those desiring the Sunday served or
mailed to them, in connection with the
Daily, should notify this offloe at onoe,
as all names, not no authorised, will be
dropped before the next issue. Adver
tisements in Daily will not appear here
after in the Sunday, unless special ar
rangements be made for them. We enter
on the new year confident of success and
determined to earn it, by making the Ek-
qniiikh a credit to our city, and a satisfac
tory equivalent for our patrons' outlay.

Gin. Human, in a speech made in llos-
ton on Tuesday evening, attributed hia
defeat for Congress to his opposition to
tba State administration of Massachusetts.
He did not undertake to acoount for the’
defeat of four other Republican candi
dates for Congress in Massachusetts.
I'm vats advices from Richmond, Va.,
say that there ia a poor prospect for the
new soheme to fund the debt of the Htate
at four per cent, interest. The trouble is
that the tax-payers want to shirk higher
taxes, and nothing will suit them short of
a cutting down of the principal.
A rumor comen from Washington that
Gen. Irwin McDowell is to receive the ap
pointment of Minister to Russia, and that
iu the promotions rasde in consequence of
McDowell's retirement from the Major-
Generalship now filled by him, General
Meigs will ba promoted and assigned to
other duty, thus tanking the desired open
iug for Gen. Rufus Ingalla at tha head of
the Quartermaster's Department.
But for the President's reoent threat in
favor of Kellogg, that the next time anme-
body would be hurt (says tba New York
Erpre**,) we doubt if the Returning
Board would have made any such retnrn
as the one already before onr people. The
world knows that intimidation in Louisi
ana haa always come from United States
troops, United States Marshals, United
States Judges and Attornoy-Uonerala.
Til Grand Jury of Bibb county have
made recommendations on several sub
jects of State oonoorn. They recoin
mend the abandonment of the system of
farming out Penitentiary convicts; the
repeal of the Homestead law, which the
jury regard as unwise and detrimental to
the interests of the people ; and the leas
eniug of the number of exemptions from
jury duty. The jury also oppose the re
enactment of usury laws. The repeal of
the Homestead law will require an ameud-
moot of the constitution. m
Gbnkhal Lonostbbkt.—On Wednesday
last Governor Kellogg issued a commis
sion to Hugh J. Campbell as Major Gen
eral of the State militia of Louisiana, ll
ia said that this appointment signifies the
resignation of General Lougstreet, who
now holds that position. General Long
street has for several weeks boon in upper
Georgia, where, it is said, he ia sojourn*
iug for the benefit of his health. But it
ia also stated iu New Orleans that thore
has been a disagreement between him and
Kellogg, each charging the other with re
sponsibility for the erder which led to the
advance and rout of the Metropolitans on
tha 14 th of September last.
Si’Bakino of the Finance bill just
passed by tha Senate, the New York Her
ald says: “Its loading purpose was to
unite and harmonise the Republican
party; and, however successful it may
prove as a stroke of party taotica, it ia
of subordinate importance aa n means of
raaobing specie payments. It is marked
by the trimming dexterity which is so
constantly practiced by the framers ol
political platforms. It ia a scheme eou
trived to bear oua interpretation in the
East and another in the West, and to mis
lead both soctioua if thay judge of it by
the comments of local expounders instead
of examining the text of the bill. It was
Eaan’a hands with Jacob's voice, and
parson must be as blind as tha old patri
arch their father if he caunot detect the
trick.”
Toa Savannah Adtertieer says “there
seems to be a general flooding of tho
Southern cities at tho present time with
counterfeit five dollar notes on the Tra
ders' National Bank of Chicago. The
first and only one of this class of uotes
that we have seen in tbiB section was iu
the possession of a countryman, on Mon
day afternoon last. It wus given to him
in part payment for some hogs, and it
would be a hard matter for an inexperi
enced man to tell whether it waa genuine
or not. It is a very easy mat ter, however,
to give five dollar notes of the Traders'
National Bank of Chioago the cold shoul
der.’'
INVEftTIOATINU ALABAMA.
The Congressional investigating com
mittee spent but a abort time in Montgom
ery,and are now in Mobile. But they prom-
lee a retain to Montgomery. As a portion of
their sessions is secret, all that waa stated
to them ih Montgomery ia not known.
But the general run of the testimony, as
far as ascertained, was to the effect that
not a Republican meeting was disturbed
by the Democrats in that county, but that
riots and rows were frequent between the
two Radical factions, often resulting in
bloodshed and once in death. It was proved
by a Republican that avery case of mur
der on the docket there was of a negro
for the tunrder of a negro, there having
been some fifteen or twenty iu the
past eighteen months. Bingham, Ssawell,
Keels, and othar outrage ahriekers
being on hand, the oommittae
bad of course a good deal of general de
nunciation of the Democrats before them,
bat it may safely be assumed that they
oould not prove by reputable witnesses
any real political outrage committed by
Democrats, A number of witnesses were
on hand to testify to the squandering and
corrupt use of that bacon, but the Badieal
majority of the committee had beard
enough about that at Opelika, and decided
that they were not sent to inveetigate it!
[N. B.—The committee waa sent on the
motion of “Sidemeat Charley’' Haya, and
Congrasainen Sheets, who waa running for
re-aleotion on the ticket for the Htate at
large, aided the Speaker in selecting the
committeemen. ]
The Opelika Obterver haa learned from
Mr. Luttrell, a Democratic mamher of the
oommittee, much that was laid before the
body at Opelika. We copy what it re
ports Mr. Luttrell aa saying:
“This whole business is to holster np
Hays’ claim to a seat in Congress, and as
matters have so far progressed it seems
E robable be will be ousted. The bacon
nsinesa ia bad for bia party. Ho far, we
have traced 18 oaska and one box to this
place. Of this amount two oasks were
sent to Heale, and 11 wera sold at auction.
Hix casks are unaccounted for, although
railroad books bear Betts’ signature for
their reoeipt. I traced three casks to the
African churoh for a political supper—the
negroes who took tho meat out of the
oasks swora to this foot. On the bacon
much aweariug was done. Tho short
hand reporter wrote np r»()0 pagea of foola
cap or a respectable pamphlet—iu
thin yon will find out who did tho
swoariug. One wituoss swore 200 illegal
Democratic votes wero cast at Girard, but
when asked why he did not challenge
(hem he said he did challenge one or two,
but they proved to he qualified. In the
Waohoochee Valley affair one witness
swore he saw 500 men on horses, another
that he saw only 200 men and they were
on foot, another only about 50, etc.; one
that he could recoguize them 100 yards
off, auother that you could not soe them
distinctly 10 feet off, etc. One old darkey
came rushing iu to get his bacon, land
and mule. Another swore W. 11. H.
Griffin promised him if the Uadioals were
elected to divido all the personal and real
proparty in the oounty among the darkios.
Anu such a number of Radical aohamas
were unearthed that the Republican mem
ber from Massachusetts said, ‘D—n tha
negroes.' Indoed the Opelika investiga
tion was a hard blow on Hays."
The Dally Tinea.
Tha new year ushered into life another
Columbus newspaper, and a handsome
and promising sheet it ia. We have, of
oeurse, to regard it as a rival and compet
itor, but we trnat that we shall also find it
a co-laborer in the cause of truth, sound
principles, national paoifleation and good
government. The Time* ia edited by our
young friend Charles H. Williams, Esq.,
and he and Messrs. Jesse B. Wright,
Charles K. Nelson, Francis M. Jeter and
Williem 0. Turner are the proprietora.
Mr. Williams has a laudable ambition
win diatinctiou as au editor, and his asso
ciates of the composing room must be
equally ardent in the desire to assume
the reapouaibilities of newspaper proprie
torship, else they would not have volunta
rily resigned good situations In this office.
We wiah them all success, for they are
men who have won onr regard by past
association, and whom wo believe to be
worthy of popular support. They have
launched upon the hazardous aea of news-
paperdoin a trim and well-manned bark,
end we trust that it may be able to ride
iu safety the storms of popular caprice
and the shoals of business depression.
Pledge af Reawwiptlew.”
Tho advocates of the Republican cau-
cua' Finauca bill say that Its chief merit
consists iu the foot that it “eontaios a
pledge of resumption.” A pledge of re
sumption waa not needed, and is nothing
gained. Every legal tender issued by
the Government gives tha holder a
“pledge of resumption.” It promises
that “the United States will pay" tho
amount DAiued in the note; and in this
oast payment and resumption are synon
ymous terms. The day of payment not
being named, a court of law would con-
atrue this pladga to be an ongagement to
pay within a reasonable time, and sorely
a reasonable time has already elapsed
since the note was issued. But the bill
postpones payment until 1879, and makes
no adequate preparation for resumption
than. The 'effect of its “pledge” is to
declare that the .Government will not pay
its note, now dne, until 1879. Is there
any advance towards specie payment in
this ? Horace Greeley usjJ to say that
“the way to resume specie payments is
to resume”—not to reiterate empty prom
ises of rssumption, as this bill does.
But the bill goes father in its effect
upon resumption by the Naiional Banks.
Tba notes of these institutions promise
to pay the hearer “on demand.” But no
one will pretend that the National Bauks
can pay specie nntil the government does.
No one proposes to make them anticipate
the government in this step. Virtually
the act of the government postponing its
own resumption is a license to the Na
tional Banks to postpone theirs. Thus
the eanouM bill postpones until 1879 the
payment of notes due and payable “ob
demand." A “pledge of resumption” in
deed ! It is a postponement of resump*
tion, and under circumstances that do not
afford any lively hope of resumption even
at the late period named
Gen. Emory was before the Congres
sional committee investigating Louisiana,
on Thursday. He testified that sinoo the
1st of October the geueral character of
tho city of New Orleans was perfectly or
derly; that throughout the State there
was uo disturbance that he could recol
lect ; that thera waa no occasion for
troops to be u««d in any part of the Htate
on electiou day ; that his troops wero die
tribnted throughout (he Htate, and every
instance where it was necessary to use
troops would have been reported to bim
at onoe; and that on all occasions there
has leen an absolute disavowal of any in
tention to attack the United States troops.
This is the testimony of the Federal off!
oer in chief couiiuaud in Louisiana,
has found no occasion to use bia troops
against tha people of that Htate. But
porhspa Gen. Sheridan oan gladdan the
Administration and the Radical party by
making occasions.
An Atlanta correspondent of tha New
York World writes that the recent deoia-
ion of the Supreme Court of Georgia in
the caae of the Rome municipal bouda ia
“of interest to Wall street.” Iu that caae
aa our readers have already been advised
the court decided that the bonds were
valid, notwithstanding a non-compliance
with conditions prescribed by the city,
because they bad passed into the hauds
of innocent holders and the city had re
ceived the purchase money. The corres
pondent of the World aaya that this de
cision “paves the way very handaomcly
for a recognition and pay incut of the dis
owned Bullock bonds. In tho heyday of
reconstruction in this Htate some $8,000,
000 in bonds were issued which subse
queut Legislatures have disowned as not
haviug been put forth in compliance with
all the formalities prescribed by law.
l-ndor the rulo in this Rome case such a
uon-compliance is by no meana fatal, and
the Bullock bondholders will probably
clhim the benefit of that doctrine."

tory for plain and ornamental stoves and
other irou ware.
Tkk Altrrbd Mchsaois.—Reuter’s New
York agent having shown that he trans
mitted to the London Time* the synopsis
of the President's message just aa it was
sent to him, the question arose, how was
the bead of the Associated Press imposed
on? lie, being interrogated, replied that
the President did not superinduce the
synopsis and did not aak to have it made;
hut when asked by a person who was
strongly desirous to have the President
and his associates entirely cleared of bus
picion to say that he did not
get his information from the
White House, the agent plumply refused
to make such a statement. Commenting
upon this reply of the head of the Press
Association, the New York Herald of
Thursday says: “As this dispatch came
through the Associated Press to the
lfcruUt; as it was a false, tnisohievou?,
atock-jobbing dispatch, we of oouree are
bound to make inquiry as to its origin
Wo aro told that it cams from the White
Houso, and that the President gavo it out
for publication. This statement the
Washington agent confirms in a dispatch
printed elsewhere, or at leaat we under
stand him as confirming it. This matUr
must not be allowed to drop. Wo must
have the whole truth about it. The
President, under tbe direct charge of the
Washington ageut of the Associated Press,
is acoused of having dishonored the
country."
A FLEA FOR THE BAULKY*.
Editor Enquirer.Sun:—The account
in your Sunday’s paper of that terrible af
fair on the day previons, and which re
sulted iu tho deaths of Marshal Murphy
aud W. L. Bagley, contains somo state
ments calculated to do injustice to an old
man, who is respected by his neighbors
and appreciated by them as oue of the
most reliable citizens of Chattahoochee
county. I refer to Wni. Bagley, tho fath
er of the two men engaged in tho difficul
ty. I have known him personally for the
last five or six years, aud although he is
man of strong feelings, impulsive and
quick to resent an iuanlt, and outspoken
when he thiuka injustice is done him, yet
he is ever ready to accord to othors what
claims for himself, and I have uo ooubt
that any violation of law and any outrages
of what is right and just and honorable
upon the part of auy of his childreu causes
him as much sorrow and grief as it would
nine-tenths of the men that you meet
the ordinary vocations of life. He has
tried by precept and example to raise up
his sons to become sturdy, reliable farm
era, aud such ia the reputation that roine
of them have, if I am not misinformed.
I am told that these two engaged in this
unfortunate difficulty are hard working
men, and by their personal labor aided
their father in supporting a large aud nu
merotis family: and it can be said of him,
what caunot be said of a great many fath
ers, that he is always ready to stand their
socurity for auytliing they need, showing
hia confidence in their williuguess to la
bor and prevent him lota.
I am aa far aa any one from sanction
iug or countenancing any violation of law,
order or morality, but there are two sides
to every question, and when such terrible
affairs as that of Saturday occurs, unless
go back and traca events which culmiuate
in such horrible results from their begi
ning, we may in the judgments pro
nounced unintentionally do great injui
tice. Upon two different occasions, with*
in a year, citizens of Chattahoochee ooun
ty have complained that they were en
tiood into “saloons” in this place, drugged
and then robbed. Legal action does not
or cannot rexoh snob cave*, aud conse
quently men of strong passions feel liko
taking the law iu their own hands,
wrong; but it is human nature, aud
was under such provocations that the
Bugleys got iuto a difficulty last summer
aud were arrested by tho police. Thii
arrest rankled in their bossoma,andthe fact
that they had sufficient pride of character
to feel the disgrace of such an arrest,
in my opinion, evidence that they are not
so totally depraved as the article would
lead one to believe. The police did their
duty, and the Bagleya cannot be j Ratified
in tbeir desire to take revenge upon them
for the arrest, but it waa natural that
they should have animosity agaiust some
one and vent it when an opportunity pre
sented itself.
Marshal Murphy was a good officer aud
n really kind'hearted man, and his family
should have the sympathies of every good
eitixen; but while we deplore his lose,
and feel for hia sfliotad family, let us
also cast the mantle of ebarity over the
faults of others, and not any anything
that will add to tha grief and sorrow of
the other strioken family.
Onb or Youb Patrons.
The above ia writ an by a gentlastas fqr
whoa wa entertain high respect nod grant
personal regard, and on this account, as
well as to do justioe to Mr. Wa. Bagley,
the father, we publish it. If tha young
Bagleya were ever dragged or robbed in a
saloon, aa ia charged, it was certainly not
done through tbe infloenos of tha polios.
We have a law to right tha wrongs of all
men, and this should have bean appealad
by the Bagleya. Tbe idea that they
must vent their animosity on “tome one"
not Christian, bnt barbarous. The dead
man forfeited hia life to the law the mo
ment he drew a pistol on Murphy. The
man in jail is even more to blame, for he
brought tbe trouble on and kept it up.
Were it not for Ben. Bagley, Matt. Mur
phy’s babas would not be fatherless, and
much as we pity the old man now at Gus
sets, the wail of the widow oriee for jus
tice as does sn outraged lew. The orime,
nothing can palliate or exonse. 0.
Rbspeotino the New York Heraldt sug
gestion that the President altered his mes
sage in relation to Cuba after tha synopsis
waa sent to the press, tha Washington Re
publican of Thursday aaya:
The abstract was earafoily prepared
and g-van to the agents of tha Associated
Press and American Press Association,
respectively, for the purpose of prevent
ing tbe naual garbling of tba document,
which has always occurred when unau
thorized abstract* of such papers have
beeu made. If any garbling occurred
afterward it ia preaumad that it waa dona
alsewhere than iu Washington.”
This we regard aa an evasion of tba
Herald t suggestion, inasmuch aa it does
not say whether the synopsis waa or was
not a faithful summary of what tha mas
sage, at tha time when the synopsis was
made up, contaiued on the aubjeet of
Cuba.
