JOHN II. MARTIN,
roumniiR. ua.i
THURSDAY. .FEBRUARY 4, 1*76.
The New York Herald replies to Kel-
logg’e deoUretion thet he coaid do greet
things for Louisiana if be had his iq.y,
by saying that the people of Louisiana
could do great things for themselves if
they had their way.
Whan Andy Johuvon atioks his long
nose into the United States Senate, the
trouble will begin.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A great deal of troubling of the waters
ia needed to cleanse the Sonate after the
revelry of Morton, Brownlow and the
carpet-baggers, and Andy will ao doubt
atir them up pretty briskly.
The last reports of the Beeoher trial
give Tilton’s testimony as far as it has
progressed. It is a reiteration of state
ments already publicly made. Beecher's
counsel disputed his right to testify in
the case, and the Judge admitted bis tes
timony, excluding for the present any
confidential communications made to him
by his wife.
Tun last reported balloting for Senator
in' the Florida Legislature showed that
Itequa, of New York, was looming up as
a candidate. It has been charged that
money would be used to secure his elec
tion. The votes cast for him so far were
given by Radicals, but if he can obtain
the full vote of that party and three of
the four Bo-oalied “independents," he
will bo elected.
A Dbocth !—The moon didn't “ohanga”
in New Hampshire, or some conditions
up there have deprived it of rain for the
last month. A dispatch of the 80th ult.
from Nashua reports “rain greatly need
ed” and mills running on half time for
the want of water. How gladly wa would
exahange some of our weathor for some
of theirs!
Tbb United State* Economist, one of
the leading trade organs of the country,
ia advocating the repeal of that portion of
the new postal law which relates to news
papers, un the ground that it was “passed
solely under the influence of personal
pique, and to punish newspapor proprie
tors and editors for their exposure of ilia
abuses connected with the Franking priv
ilege and other waters which eonseionce-
alrieken Congressmen wished to bush
up.”
GOLD*
Concerning the rise in gold, the New
York Herald'ot the liHth says :
“We are to-day, and have been for
weeks, bleeding gold at every pore. The
products of the earth earned by agricul
tural labor are thrown baokupon ns,while
our mining rosuurccs are being taxed to
their utmost. Where is all this gold
coming from? is 1 lie question on every
lip.”
Onr dispatches of yesterday report a
quiek rise from 18A to 14]@U> per cent.
In addition to the causes of this advance,
mentioned fry the Herald, Iho Financial
Chronicle names the disoontiiiuauce of the
Treasury sales of gold for currency, and
the proRpoct of n largo increase of onr-
renov under tbn operation of the new
Finance law. We nuppose that the fact
that the receipts of I'-e Treasury for ,the
month of January fed $1,380,000abort of
its expenditures also had something to do
with it, especially us tlio prospect of a
material increase of revomie does net
appear very hopeful just now. It is an
nounced that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has called for the redumption of
$15,000,000 of tho 5-20 bonds of 1802,
to he paid on the 1st of May, and this
will doubtless keep down any alarming
increase of gold accumulation in the
Treasury, as the bonds havo to be re
deemed with gold under tho prosent reg
ulations.
In addition to theso causes of the ad
vance in gold, is no doubt tho faot that
the country aocepts the Congressional Fi
nance bill as a definite announcement
that there will ho no resumption of Rpecie
payment before 1871). The aot makes no
oartain preparation for resumption even
by that time, and precludes tho idea of
any resumption boforo it. The general
sentiment of the country, ns soon as the
aot was passed, was that it amounted to
no assurauoe whatever of early resump
tion, and the rapid rise in gold sinco its
passage iudieates that it has had a de
pressing rather (him an assuring effect.
ALABAMA I.EGIRUTIIKE.
Tuesday, ‘Id.—In tbo Senato, Mr. Mar
tin introdnood a bill to restriot the coun
ties to a certain rate of taxatiou ; and Mr.
Harris of Lee; a hill to incorporate the
town of Auburn—both referred. Mr.
Parks introduced tho following bills,
whioh were passed: To incorporate the
Tracks and Axo Company of Troy; to en
large tho criminal jurisdiction of the
Mayor and Council of tho town of Union
Springs. Mr. Cooper introduced a bill to
regulate tho issue of liceuso for retailing
liquors (punishing their Hale to minors or
students)— roferrod. The Fnnding bill
was reported to tbo Fiuanco Coramittoe.
It provides that the State “obligations"
shall be taken in payment of all county
and amnio’pal taxes, flues, Ac. Some
members opposed it ou the ground of un-
constitutiouality ; others beoanse their
oiunties could not afford to take depreci
ated money; while its supporters urged
that it was constitutional; and would have
the effect of appreciating the money.
After considerable discussion, it was made
a special order for Friday. The Senate
ordered to a third readings bill to require
the County Commissioners of Terry to
warm tho jail of that county. The Re
publican members “filibustered" for the
balance of the dsy.
In the House, the ltudicals commenced
obatruoting tactics at once. Senate bills
were taken up, but the majority would
permit only two or three of them to be
read more tban once— the rule requiring
two thirds to give them n Record reading.
Mr. Green gave notice of a rule, which
be would offer ou Wednesday, requiring
that bills “ordered to a second reading to-
morrow" shall be read the seoond time
the next day immediately after the roid-
iug of the journal. This ia designed to
pretest further obstruction,
THE MEM I.AW-A0AIM,
We have been favored with a copy of
the Georgia Lien Law, approved Feb. 24,
1873, which it is proposed now to re
enact. It provided for special contracts
in writing, and was therefore binding on
no one who did not oboose to avail him
self of its provision’. Such a law, as we
intimated yesterday, «e think'advisable
in the present condition of the oonutry.
It is true that it may stimulate the over
production of ootton, and thus oause evil
to many as well as good to soma. But
that is an effeo,t dependent npon the judg
ment of planters who may voluntarily
avail tbemaelvea of the law ; and while we
deprecate (he planting of so much ootton,
we are not prepared to advocate its re
striction by law—-either by a law direotly
limiting the production, or by the refusal
to pass laws enabling planters to obtain
facilities for carrying on their agricultural
operations.
A correspondent suggests that the law
may be unconstitutional, either with or
without the provision for special con
tracts, because, if it Hots aside prior judg
ments, it “impairs the obligation of con
tracts." We do not propose to disouss
that question with him. But wa are of
the opinion that the csbos are few in
which judgments would bind the growing
crops under our liberal Homestead and
Exemption laws, even without the Crop
Lion. It is the special contract which
snbjeots the crops, and without which
planters could not obtain advances.
The following was the law of 1873, re
ferred to above;
THE HEW LIEN LEW OF OEOIIOIA.
An Aot to regnlata the Law of Liens in
the State of Georgia ;
Section 0. lie it farther enacted, That
factors, merchants, landlords, deuleru in
fertilizers, and all other persons furnish
ing supplies, money, farming utensils, or
other urticles of necessity to make crops,
and also, all persons famishing clothing
and medioines, supplies or provisions for
tho snpportof families,or medical service,
tuition or school books, shall have tho
same right to seoure themselves from the
crop of the year in which such things are
done or furnished, as is now givon by
law, under the aot of 18<>5-6, to faotora,
with the following conditions: All of the
liens provided for in this section, rnnst be
created by special contract in writing,
and every person giving a lien under this
section, having previously given a lien or
liens ander it, or any other lien, shall,
when giving a new lien under this seotion,
on the same property to another person,
inform snob person, if interrogated as to
tho facts, of the amount of such lieu or
liens, and to whom given; and suoii per
son giving false information bh to the fact
aforesaid, shall be guilty of the same
offense as that of persons fraudulently
making a second dood, under section
4511 of the (Jode and punished as heroin
prescribed; and tho lienR orented under
this seotion are horehy declared to be su
perior in rank to otbor liens, exoept lions
for taxes; the general and special liens of
laborers, and the speoial liens to land
lords, to whioh they shall lie inferior, and
shall, as between themselves and other
liens not herein exoepted, rank according
to date, and shall only exiat as liens ou
the crop of the year in which they wero
made.
Approved February 24th, 1873.
The vote of Hon. George W. Adams, of
Monroe, on the question of the re-enact
ment of the Lien laws, will no doubt tie
an important one, as it will indicate the
general sentiment of the Grangers, The
Forsyth Advertiser of Tuesday says that
Mr. Adams was in its town on Saturday,
discussing the question with the farmers,
and expressed his willingness tm vote on
tha passage ot the bill as a majority ot
them might raquots. _
The trouble between Turkoy and Mon
tenegro ia regarded os settled, or at least
in no danger of leading to an immediate
coofliot. Wo believe that the Montene
grins, finding that they would not be
backed as strongly by Russia as they had
counted on, cooled down somewhat, and
resigned themselves to diplomaoy instead
of war.
Crop Alena.
Editor Enquirer:—There seems to be
some diversity of opinion in this vieinity
as to the propriety of re-enaoting tho
Lien Law. The 'lime* is entirely in fa
vor of it, aud your paper proposes to limit
it to ouseH where the farrnor by special
contract binds his crop for the paymont
ot advanced. This any planter can do
without legislation; but the troublo is
that he cannot by suoh contract divert
tbe lien of a prior judgment. Query
Can the Legislature do it without impair
ing the obligation of the contracts, to do
which is unconstitutional ? It is no an
swer to say that tho prior Lion Law did
so; the question perhaps was novei-
raised. Whenever it is made the chances
are that Iho law will bo pronounced in
valid as to existing liens. “The obligation
ot a contraot is the law whioh hinds the
parties to perform their agrooment. Any
impairment of tbe obligation of a con
tract—the degree of impairment is im
material—is within tbe prohibition of
the Constitution. ”■—Supeine Court of the
United States, Walker vs. Whitehead, lit,
Wallace 8tfl. So much for the special
contracts. Now as to tbo policy of the
general law as it existed heretofore.
The passage of a lion law enables tho
farmer to mortgage his labor for tho pur
pose of raising cotton at a price that in
sures a certain loss on every halo made.
How does this honefit the farmer ? If he
will not exercise sound judgment in rais
ing provisions first, and cotton for a sur
plus, tbe absence of a lien law will force
him to do it. The passage of a lion law
is in effect the passage of a law to foroe
the excessive production of cotton, tho
refusal to pass it as necessarily contracts
the area of cotton planted and reduces the
crop and enhances the prioe, for ootton is
an expensive crop to raise and cannot be
made in excess without the aid of credit.
There are but few farmers who cannot
get credit enough to raise a provision
erop and ootton enough to meet tho
credits obtained for such purpose. Any
honest planter who will oome to Colum
bus and satisfy the merchant that his
crops are pitched to raise a surplus of
provisions, and cotton enough to redeem
his credit, will And no difficulty in buying
the few supplies required ; and ono sea
son of this experience will teach the plant
ers and merchants that orop liens arc a
curse to ail who tonoh them.
A Citizen.
—A firm in Stephenaville, Wilkinson
county, shipped 3,000 dozen eggs to Sa
vannah during the year 1874.
[Communicated.]
NONE BOOT LIEN.
Major Calhoun: Two days ago a letter,
signed “A Citizen,” wes circulated in onr
city, and it reflected on “the gentlemen
in grey.” Of c-mrae, it allnded to “men
in blue,” but we, sa ex-Confederate sol-
diera, know “the men in blue" could take
care of themselves in tbe past. Tbe gen
tlemen whom this person attempts to bit
at we are snre are equal to any emergen
cy, save being shot down iu the dark, or
without notice around a ooruer. The
person who attacks the men in grey never
did muoh to help tbe cause their uniform
is made to typify, and consequently wsa
never a very terrible man to the Yankees.
He might have been fierce to tbe wonuded
and prisoners, but be had a most whole
some dread of Yankees with guns in their
hands. He might have been a slayer of
boys and a traduoer of women, but he
never darad to meet a man fairly.
The atory about the Bagleya, as related
by this person, is crnelly false, and it was
either atated without knowledge, or writ
ten as a deliberate falsehood. We ho
lier# the man did both. His language is
ss poor ss his logic, SDd we doubt not his
heart is in keeping with both. The story
shout Dan Dnncan is false in every re
spect. Perhaps he meant McEachren,
but his knowledge of the faots is as ab
surd as his presumption abont the law
anthorizing certain officers to esrry weap
ons ; and the soft platitudes in which he
deals cannot hide his ignoruncs of what
he attempts to explain, nor conoeal the
malignancy that in vain he endeavors to
olosk under a torrent of verbiage.
Mr. Dimcan and Mr Cash are good offi
cers, they try to do their whole duty. If
every officer of the law did hisas well, this
traducer of brave men might nolbe iu a po
sition to utter his falsehoods under the
guise of a correspondence. We have too
much respect for Co). BUnford to think
him guilty of this letter, aud we appre
ciate his courage more than does “A Citi
zen." Nothing oan he softer or more
sickening than tho atale bow with which
this person raises his hat at the close of
hiH letter, aud apologisea to his ronders
for his gasconade. He ought to beg
the pardon of his teacher, if
ho over had one, and «ak (he forgiveness
of bis God, if be ever knew One. The
course taken by some few meu iu our
city has led evory drunken desperado to
believe thut the polioe could be shot
down as a matter of course, and our ebief
bas been the victim of thiR teaching.
We have tried as good men to do our
whole duty to our city, and wo have en
deavwred to preserve the peace and keep
the laws. This because we are poor men
dependent on our positions, and honest
men responsible for our acts. Should
this course go on .aud be sustained by
oven a few men who .oau avoid the law,
our livos are ever in danger, and destitu
tion hovers over onr families, without
even the consolation of justice beiug
meted out to onr murderers.
The “Citizen" who so cruelly attacks
us cannot show a record as a soldier su
perior to auy one of ours. We fought
for the right, ss wo saw it, just as now we
try to u; hold tho right. We have upheld
the law and, if we mistake not, hs has
broken Die decalogue, and his statements
oome with a bad grace. We propose to
continue doing our duty, but is it not
hard to think that while we do this we
are aubjeot to the armed attaok of every
bully, and the villifloations of every un
principled soribbler?
Twelve Columbus Policemen.
The Macon Postolflce Bobberjr.
The Telegraph gives particulars of tbe
detection and arrest of a boy about thir
teen years of age, who bad been for some
time stealing letters from boxes in the
postoffice, but it does not publish his
name. He was not connected with the
postofflee. Letters having been frequent
ly missed, Major George B. Chamberlain,
a deteotive, was sent for, and arrived
from Atlanta on Sunday morning. The
postmaster had suspected the hoy in ques
tiou, and informod the deteotive of hia
suspicious. We copy from the Tele
graph's acoouul;
When Maj Chamberlain was advised of
the boy's plan of operations, be took his
station iuside one of the delivery win
dbws, which wus very slightly raised, and
watched. Previously, however, one of
tbe boxes was opened slightly as a trap
After watching about live minutes, the
the boy arrived, accompanied by his little
sisti r. Seeing no one iu the office, he
looked carefully around at the boxes un'
til his eye fell upon tho one that was left
partially open. As soon as he saw this
he took his sister outside tho office aud
left bor, and returning on tiptoe, wont
directly to the box, drew it open, took
out the only letter that was in it and left
the otfioe. Major Chamberlain followed
him out ou tbe sidewalk aud asked him
for the letter that ho had taken out of
the box. 11s at first deniod having any,
but finding that be had b«en seen
to take it, Ire prodnred the letter and
said that a negro boy had told him to go
in and get the mail t root the box. This
was improbable, however, as no negro
boy was in sight.
Tbe'boy was then asked for the letters
he had previously taken from the office.
After first donyiug that he had tukeu auy,
be owned that he had taken them, and
finally admitted taking five. When asked
where they were he said they were down
home. A brother-in-law of the lad hav
ing ooiue up, he and Major Chamberlain
accompanied the lad to his home on Wal
nut Htreet, where he said the letters were.
After various efforts to ooneeal the real
whereabouts of the letters, tha lad showed
where he had hidden them under tbe
privy. A search revealed the fact that ha
had at last discovered the hiding place
for they not only found tho three letters,
but found more than three hundred of
them, all of which had been opened. It
was a wonderful deposit of mail. Wher-
ever there was room enough to stuff
package of letters, there were they hid
den. There seemed to be no end to the
deposit, and the whole mystery of the
non-receipt of letters was fully cleared up,
We saw the heaps of mail yesterday,
Some of them were too badly defaced for
tho superscription to bo read; but many
of them were not at all, or only slightly
damaged. A large number of the letters
wero for Messrs. S. Wuxelbaum A Bro.
There were also many for Rogers <fc Bonn
F. 8. Johnson A Sons, the Exchange
Bank, Seymour, Tinsley A Co., Harde
man A Sparks, B. Findlay's Sous, the
DaamM Tin 1V Ilf I_ |3 VI Y _ . . _ * - .
were for the Exahange Bank end Messrs.
Rogers and Bonn.
The boy appears to bars bad s notion
of the valne of tbe drafts, or else was
too cunning to attempt to use them. Each
one Beamed to have been replaced in tbe
letter in whioh it belonged. Probably bia
object was to find letters containing
money. How well be succeeded in this
will possibly never be known.
Tbe question very naturally arises, how
did tbe lad get possession of these letters?
Our inquiry yesterday satisfied ns that
most, if not ail the above named parties
havo lost keys to their postoffice boxes.
These keys wore lost by being carelessly
left in tbe boxes after taking out tbs
mails. The boy, banging aronud the
postoffice, fonnd them there and took
possession of them. That made it an
easy matter to get tbs mails. While
searching for the letters whioh he had
hidden, the key to Messrs. F. 8. Johnson
A Son's box was found, bnt so far no oth
er key has been fonnd.
The boy says he has been carrying on
this system of robbing the mails since
November, but letters were found in bis
deposit which dated further back tban
that. Whether bis depository oontained
all the letters he has ever taken is not
known. The probability is that he has
destroyed many.
