TIIK STATE FAIR.
Ifc was the “Lucille”, of Savannah, that
won the boat race on Saturday—not the
“Alice”, as was made to appear by an er
ror of the figures in giving the time in
our telegraphic report.
Among the machinery exhibited ore
two novelties shown by Mi. Israel Brown,
now' of New ilon, Conn., but well
known iu Columbus from his former as
sociation with somo of our citizens. One
is a steam engine of superior simplicity
and power, the steam acting directly on
a small wheel furnished with buckets.
The other is n small and cheap cotton
seed huller and crushor, tho cost of which
is only $513.
Tho following are some of tho pre
miums awarded : For the host hoiuoutal
and upright steam engines Tor plantation
purposes, Findlay A Brothers, Macon ; al
so for tho Craig Horse Power for ginning
and threshing; for the best cotton press,
Bchofiold of Macon ; Hall's cotton gin,
the premium for tho closest work and
cleanest seed; highest prize for porta Ido
steam engines, to W. E. Tanner A Co., of
ltiehfuoml Ya.
On Friday, Col. P. W. Lewis resigned
bis position as Secretary of tho State Agri
cultural Association, to take efl'oct iu
Tebr-iftry.
The Fair is being continued as the
“Macon City Fair”.
A Connection nilli the Moliilr A CIrani
It ui I road.
We copy tho following item from tho
last Eufaula New*. If the information of
.ho AY/r.« should prove to bo correct, the
lon t ;-t!osired extension of the Mobile A
Girard Railroad to the Gulf will be uo-
compL-ihed. The matter is one of the
greatest importance to our city and to
those of our citizens who own stock in the
Mobile A Girard ltailroad, for there cau
• *o but little doubt that with an extension
;o Mobile (independent though it may be)
the business of the road will bo largely
lucres«ed, and a new route for through
lreights to ColuVnbus from tho West will
bo opened.
We have heard surmises and whisper
ings that the Briariun Pennsylvania Cen
tral had an arm extended towards the
route of the Mobile .V Girard Railroad as
ono of its great through Hues of commu
nication, and we believe that the under-
standing is that the Pennsylvania giant is
helping tho huildiug of tho Vicksburg A
Brunswick ltailroad. If that great corpo
ration is interested iu tho load from Troy
to Pollard, it will of course need a control
over or equal competition on the Mobile
A Girard aud tho Atlanta A Columbus Air
Lino. Wo believo that it has already
secured tho Air Lino from Atluutu to tho
North Carolina lino, and a continuous lino
of communication through North Carolina
and Virginia.
Tho following is tho paragraph from
the New*, above referred to:
Branch Hoad—Troy, Etjia and Pol
lard.—Wo aro reliably informed that the
directors of tho V. A B. It. li. bavo con
cluded a contract with Milner A Co., for
the construction of a branch of thoir road
from Pollard via Elba to Troy,—and that
the contractors expect to roinploto tho
work to Troy, by tho time tho main trunk
roaches this city. We think, if they do
they will work harder nnd faster than any
other company over worked in this sectimi
of the country, ns there is a company mi
tho main trunk, headed by a man in wh <se
vocabulary there is no such word ns foil
—who will drive the road through iu a
little butter time than anybody.
Tho taxable property of the city of New
Orleans, accordir g to the latest returns,
amounts to $139,320,344.
A fuller report of Mr. Gladstone's
speech at Greenwich, on Kuturday, has
reached ns; and it is a significant fact,
that although he spoko in terms of warm
(and no doubt deserved) eulogy of the
British Queen, he is not reported as hav
ing said a word iu relation to tho condi
tion of her health—a subject of much
anxiety to the British public.
Tho Mormon petition sent to Washing
ton, iu favor of polygamy and protesting
against Fedornl interference with it (men
tioned by telegraph a few days ago) was
signed by about twenty-five hundrod wo
men of Utah.
The Atlanta Constitution is a candidate
for the public printing.
I’rc.sii'ent. Grant .ms made proclamation
d«ugnatiug Thursday, the 25ld of Novem
ber, as a day of general Thanksgiving.
Does he include the large district in
boulh Carolina in w hich he has suspended
civil law ?
The Hon. Garret Davis, in a speech at
tho Courthouse, in I.onisville, Kj ., on
.is. Wednesday night, announced that he
bad d.-<covcrod tho man who could beat
Grant in the next race, in the person of
Millard Fillmore.
Tho Democrats of Atlanta, by a prims
V election held on Friday last, nominn-
d John II. James, the banker, as their
indidate for Mayor, also a full ticket for
A’.dennen. About 2200 votes were cast.
Mr. Juiugb’ competitors were L. J. Glenn,
Esq., and ex-Mayor Hulsey.
The Democrats and Conservatives of
Montgomery connty, Ala., in county
ventiou on {Saturday last, resohed that it
vu inexpedient to nominate candidates
lor county offices, or for the Legislature.
Tne Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati F. acquirer says: “It is stated
that a movement is on foot among cer-
tain Western Republican Congressmen to
Inaugurate a new revenue reform move
ment in the House this winter, and to
urge Speaker Blaine to constitute the
Ways and Means Committee in that in
terest.”
A few returns of the election held in
Weet Virginia last week, for members of
the Legislature and delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention, indicate a decided
Democratic triumph. In some counties
the negroes generally voted the Derno-
ticket,
IlitUork’ft Utalsrnation and Kllpht.
Well prepared as the people of Georgia
were for any development of fraud and
corruption involving the Exeeutivo De
partment of their State Government, wo
suppose that the telegraphio announce
ment of the resignation and flight of Gov.
Bullock takes evnrybody by surprise.—
The effrontery and stolidity with which
the carpet-bag plunderers of the South
have heretofore maintained positions from
which acts such as theirs would swiftly
have driven iuto disgrace and punishment
any officinl so acting prior to “reconstruj-
tiou," and the recklessness with which
they have been sustained in all their
usurpations and rascrlities by tho all-
potent Federal authority, hud hardly pre
pared us to expect such a break-down as
that exhibited by tho Bullock Administra
tion.
And yet coming events had “cast their
shadows before.” Ou the ltuh nit., no
ticing revelations then transpiring, >ve
wrote : “Additional reports from Wash-
iugtou nre confirmatory of tho statement
that tho Grant Administration contem
plates the displacement of tho corrupt
carpet-bag officials in the {Southern States,
a moans of conciliating the native
population. It is positively stated that
Attorney Generul Akerman is to resign
and take the lead in this warfare iu Geor
gia, which contemplates the abandon
ment of Gov. Bullock to whatever fate
tho Democrats may have ill reserve for
him ; tho breuking up of tho State Bond
lease; tho squelching of Foster Blodgett’s
claims to a seat in the I’uilod States Sen
ate ; uud the removal of the lending car-
pet-lmggera holding lodorui positions iu
Georgia."
Since that timo wo have had tho an
nouncement of the r* uioval of several of
the leading curpot-bng otlieiuls. Within
the last day or two wo have boon ndvised
from Washington that ltobb, the carpct-
bog collector at Savanuah, hns had Uun
to r v served on him at the instigation
of Akermar.. We aro also informed now
that Foster Blodgett s claims to a seat in
the Tinted States Seuato will not oven bo
further considered by that body. And
now wo have Bullocks resignation ui
flight from tho Stato. lie knew that e
positro was at hand, nnd that there w
ro Federal prop to stay him up, nnd he
fled from the wrath to coiuo.
Of tho llight to escape puuishiucnt, the
circumstances hardly leave room to doubt.
Such a chain of connected evidence, to
that effect, us the writing of the resigna
tion a week beforehand, tho depart lire
from the Slate immediately after prepar
ing it. the appointment of tho day before
tho meeting of the Lcgi.slaturc as the day
on which it wuh to be promulgated afid to
take effect, nnd the keeping of (he act u
secret until that day, all point conclusive
ly to u bchrniu of flight, and to the at
tempt at another usurpation to bo con
summated at the very lust moment.
It now remains to be seen how tho Leg
islature and the Oourta will mout this last
usurpation, if persisted in. Wo refer to
the attempt to install Benj. Conley in tho
Exocntivo chair for tlio balance of G
Bullock's term—for tho selection of tho
very day before tho meeting of the Legis
lature, for Lis installation, quite plainly
reveals this purposo. Hud only ono more
day been ullowod to pass over, tho Hcnnto
would have elected another presiding
officer, nnd Conley would not have been
in tho lino of succession. Bullock could
have hoped to gain nothing by throwing
tho office into Conley’s hand for only
duy, unless indeed it was part of the un
derstanding that Conley should avail hitu
self of that brief opportunity to pardon
Bollock in advance—a “new departure”
in which Bullock had already taken tho
initiative and been sustained by tho Su
preme Court! We therefore apprehend
that this dodge of mak’ng Conley
Governor tho duy before the Senate
was to meet ami choose another Presi
dent contemplated ahn the assumption by
him of tho bulanco of Governor Bullock's
term. If no, it is a question for tho Leg
islature to meet fearlessly and indepen
dently. K is an ctnorgeucy that will iu
Volvo the question whether the term of
the last Legislature had not long sinco ex
pired. and whether there wuh ou Tuesday
last any Honato or President of tho Hon
ate on whom to devolve tho office of Gov
ernor. Let tho Legislature assert its
rights, aiul*tlio rights of tho peoplo of
Georgia, to the fullest extent.
We learn from the Montgomery Adver
tiser that George \V. Cox, late a colored
motnber of the Legislature of A lab:
has canned the arrest of J(. If. Knox and
M. 1). Bruinurd, leading Itadicnls
Montgomery, on a charge of violation of
the Ku-Klui act. Also, that Knox and
Brainard have hud tho following named

Tho State Democratic Executive Com
mittee assembled iu Macon ou Friday, and
«ud had a full and free consultation.—
Tho following resolutions were adopted ;
Resolved, That the fruits of the victo
ry achieved at tho December election can
not bo scoured without thorough organ
ization. Wo reitorate the opinion previ
ously expressed by this coimuitteo that
men of character and ability should be
nominated for office, nnd it should bo
regarded as a patriotic duty to support
and elect them, though individual pref
erences havo to bo nhnudoned.
Resolved, That tho people of Georgia
and this committee havo an abiding confi
dence that the Democratic Legislature,
soon to assemble, will bo guided by “Wis
dom, Jtistico nnd Moderationthat its tic-
will bo discreet, its enactments just,
and its administration honest and eco
nomical.
Resolved, That this committee believe
the reports » f tho existence of Kti-Klnx
or other secret poitlicul organizations iu
I ins State, which havo induced Congress
to take action on that subject, aro w holly
unfounded. That (hero have been acts
of lawleNsuosn and violence cannot be de
nied, but they have uot been instigated
by any partisan motive or feeling. The
ill-advised use of tho pardoning power,
by which notorious criminals have boon
relieved from the punishment due to thoir
crimes, has in Homo instances, excited
porsuus to acts of violence which would
not have otherwise occurred, and w hich
W’3 unhesitatingly condemn und disap
prove.
Arrest or Kkzykanowski.—Revenue
Inspector and ox-furuituro dealer Krzyza-
nowski was arrested ou Friday evening by
Deputy United States Marshal Freeman,
and put on his parole to appear before
court yesterday and cuter into bonds in
tho sum of $10,000 for his trial, upon tho
charge of neglect of duty and embezzle
ment. The friends of Collector Gould
have been anxiously looking for him for
several days, but as he has not put iu an

sidered doubtful.—Numund/t Advertistr,

Just so. Wo havo read of such things
before. They have taken plaeo in Iro-
land, in Hungary, in 1’olnnd. Indeed, we
have read of Mich exploits in French nnd
iu English history. What lino fun old
Jeffreys biul with the disloyal of his day—
with (lie swarms of poor devils that he
had brought before him whilst holding
his “Bloody Assizes. ' And how hero
again history repeats itself • for whilst
JelTrojs oonvieted the iunocout, the court
iers of the King—even fine ludics—put
money in their purses by selling pardons.
General Grant’s minions doubtless hope
to make money in the same way. Read
tho Tribune's paragraph again, nnd sen if
it is not modelled after one of Jeffrey’s
speehes to Richard Baxter.—Richmond
Dispatch.
Heavy Roiu-.kky. On Friday nigld, as
tho venerable Dr. Memis, of Savannah,
was entering the ear he was robbed of his
gold watch and pocket book containing
eleven hundred dollars. The watch was
presented by the students of Emory Col
lege to Dr. MeaiiH, on tho occasion of his
retiring from the presidency of tho col
lege, and was highly prized by him. Ho
advertises in this issue,proposing thut if tho
thu f will return tho watch to certain par
ties mentioned, ho will leave him with tho
pocket book and bis conscience. Another
instance of the folly of carrying valuables
about one's person on such occasions as
tho fair Iiiih been. Wo sympathize with
tho Doctor, and hope ho may yet recover
thu momento so highly prized by himself.
'Jbo watch has on it tho inscription, “Pre

The frequent mention of tho name of
this gentleman for Governor of Georgia,
in private circles whero ho is knowu/aud
recently through a number of tho news
papers in the State, w ill doubtless render
a short personal skotch of him acceptable
to your readers, liis paternal ancestors
were English, and first Bottled iu Virgiuia.
His grauufuther came theuce to Greeuo
county, Ga., where his father was born.
His mother was a native of Morgan coun
ty, Georgia, was of Irish descent, aud a
daughter of Josoph Heard.
The father and mother of Herbort are
buried iu the county of Newton, where ho
was born and raised to manhood. Finan
cial embarrassment deprived him of tho
advantages of coilego training. He de
voted hmisolf two years to tho busiuoss
of tuui-hiug with boyish huoo.hh, aud then
with the means acquired by his own exer
tions, set out upou bis ongiual design—
tho study of law. Ho passed tho year of
1849 iu the office o» lb.ruey A Dyer, at
Moutieello, and after a oriuiiuul examina
tion tiudor Judge Meriwether was admit
ted to practice. At that tiuioCouu, 1 law-
sou, Hardeman, Starke, Foster, Cobb,
aud others now gone, wore in full prac
tice in that pari of ltie Stale, from whom,
und their cotemporaries, ho caught his
early inspirations.
Uur young friend, without money or
prestige, but full of hope and irrepressi
ble energy, (fitturmiuod (o stand ou per
sonal uieiit alone, and to risk his fortune
among strangers,he removed to Cherokee
Georgia, where liis career us n lawyer up
to tho opening of tho lute war was unusu
ally successful, and whore, we are in-
foimed, ho is held in high esteem by all
classes of people.
Having lost his property by tho war, ho
found himself a penniless refugee iu De
cut ur county, whence ho removed iu the
winter of 18(53 to Cuthburt, nnd entered
with all the zeal of lus youth upon tho
pruolico again. Hero his native elements
of ohuraoiei- nave told wonderfully in his
I rogress from stranger to friend of the
people, from poverty to comparative ease
and indopcmien.v, und to too universal
respect of, not only tho courts und thu
bur, blit of all classes of society.
liis clear head, and well balanced judg
ment, inflexible will, incorruptible integ
rity and dt notion to (ruth, and extraor
dinary energy, afford a guarantee of emi
nent success, and universal esteem in any
position iu which lie may bo placed. As
a writer, he is terse, strong ami trench
ant, having but few superiors in tlio
State. As u speaker, he is earnest, log
ical, impressive and eloquent. Jlo is the
firm fi lend, patron aud advocate of edu
cation and religion. As a Christian, he
sustains an untarnished reputation, and 1
havo no doubt, if elevated to thu position
of Governor, it would be conceded by all
that he is the right man in the right place.

Our readers will peruse with interest
tho brief sketch contained in to-day’s
paper, of the life and career of this esti
mable gentleman, whoso name is promi
nently associated with thu^iext guberna
torial canvass. w
The 7digraph and Messenger is the or
gan of no individual l'or office, but it
affords lis pleasure to enlighten the peo
ple as to (lie qualifications aud antece
dents of those Irom whom their future
rulers may he chosen. Should it devolve
upon our talented fellow townsman Col.
Thos. Hardeman, or Gen. Colquitt, tho
soldier nnd gentleman, or Col. Fielder, a
self-made man and gifted barrister, to be
tho standard bearer of llm Democracy in
tho campaign against Bullock and Radical
corruption, wo shall he equally content.
Iti the hand of any one ot these gentle
men, the destinies of Georgia will bo safe

Fielder, und know him to bo possessed of
sterling integrity and cultivated and supe

the people of Georgia would fiud him a

The tY«Hliiimtoii Treaty amt the Cotton Lobby.
Our Washington correspondence fore
shadows an active lobby business this win
ter at the capital in connection with the
Commission which is appointed to adjust
the claims between Ktiglund nnd the
United States under tho Treaty of Wash
ington. Tho “cotton lobby” is the suit
able name given to the combination of
claimants nnd agents who are preparing
to uiuku a terrible onslaught upon tho
Treasury. There is a suspicion that
some of tho prominent public men who
were active in pushing tho trenty through
aro directly or indirectly interested iu
lingo cotton claim* iUat aro to ho present
ed undor it. Then is a coalition, it is
said, between the Confederates of the
South aud certain prominent radical Re
publicans of tho North to accomplish the
object in view. Wo think this is likely,
for it is just in accordance with tho gignn-
tic corrupt schemes worked up in Wash
ington and the geueral corruption which
grew out of the war and lias overspread
the country. No doubl the cotton
and other claims that may bo worked
up by such a lobby will amount to a
stupendous sun* nnd prove a groat tempt
ation to fraud. Thu amendment to
the constitution bnrH, it is true, rebel
claimants and the cotton loan of the Con
federates, but this w ill bo circumvoutod
by British holders of claims and by a host
of interested so-called loyal Americans,
unless great vigilance, honesty aud firm
ness bo displayed by tho Commission.
Considering tho many millions of dollars
at stuko wo limy expect lively times in
Washington this winter, und track a gath
ering of lobby vultures there as bus
rarely or never been seen before.

reasons to believe that said organization
pledges its members to corrupt the ballot

wo have been threatened with personal

General Wimpffon, in his book ou the
capitulation of Sedan, thus describes the
hearing of the ex-Etnperor on the occa
sion of the surrender: “There was no
more disgusting spectacle than the atti
tude of Napoleon III. during the catastro
phe. There was so little dignity about
him, that nearly all who witnessed what
he was doing on that occasion could not
help despising tho man whom they had
ifever respected.” Gen. Wimpffen evi
dently does not bolieve that Napoleon will
ever be anything more than ox-Empe-
vor of France.

Ex. Dep’t State of Georgia, )
Atlanta, Georgia, Oct. 23, 1871.)
To my Political Fronds anil the 1‘iojile of
ugia:
1 have this day received information,
tho truth of which 1 cannot doubt, that
thu political conspirators who seek thu
overthrow, not ouly of the reconstructed
government of Georgia, but of the United
States, havo secured tho pledges of a suf
ficient number of tho incoming members
of tho Lower llousoof the Geueral Assem
bly to vote without previous investigation
for Articles of Impouchmuiit agaiust me
immediately after they have assembled
and organized on Wednesday, thu first day
of November noxt; and that huving adop
ted such articles in the House u sufficient
number of Republican Senators will be
unseated to ensure conviction upon tho
articles so presented. 1 also learn that
the Judge of thu Supromo Court, who is
personally and politically bitterly hostile
to mo, has informed his lrionds that this
programme has been perfected, nnd that
ho 1ms been selected to preside over thu
Seuato during the trial; aud that the Sen
ator representing Gen. Toombs' district
is to lie elected President of tho Seuato
and immediately unnouuco himself as,
aud claim to be, Governor during thu
pending impouchnient and thereafter for
the baluuco of my uuexpirod term.
Upon this stato of facts 1 havo decided
to resign tho office of Governor, to take
effect before thu meeting aud qualifica
tion of thu now members of the new
body, und thereby defeat this nefarious
scheme of these dusperato political con
spirators.
By this course I shall prrttoct my po
litical friends iu tho Senate from the ex
pulsion that has been foreordained in or
der to socuro my iiupunchmcnt, nnd, at
tho sumo timo, save tho State from tbo
disasters tuuc would bo sure to follow in
the wake of success on tl.j part of the un-
pardouod nnd uurupeutunt rebel leaders,
who, though cjmparutivoly few in num
bers, move the masses by tho irresistible
pressure of sectional hato and social pro
scription.
I havo maintained my official position
against tho assaults of these people upou
the course of equal rights and Republi
can Government just as long us it is pos
sible for me to be of service, and now,
for the purpose of again defeating this
lutest onslaught of these destroyers, I
havo rosigued this offleo into the hands
of that noble and unswerving friend of
right and justice, the Hon. Beujamin
Conley, who, uuder thu Constitlution, by
reason of being President of the Senate,
becomes Governor during the unexpired
part of my term, or until a successor is
elected by the people. No charge has
yet been brought against him, becuuso he
bus not heretofore been supposuif to he
an obstacle in tho way of the couspirutora’
success. If assaults are now mndo upon
him the country will understand the pur
pose for which they aro mado.
As for myself, being divosted of offlciul
position, the charges of every character
which these people are sure to make and
proclaim against me can bo brought be
fore the oourta, and I shall never shrink
from any judicial inquiry that is divested
of political bias and prejudice. May I be
pardoned for a word of wurning to tho
men who fought for tho Union?
Six months ago in Georgia tho moss of
tho pcoplo were acquiescing in thu re
sults of the war, and were willing to ac
cept those results as boing finalities, but
under the later public teaching of cer
tain old leaders who need not bo nrmed,
the whole situation has changed, and
lending gentlemen, oven in tho Demc-
crutic party, who dared to spoak in favor
of acquiescence and peace havo been as
sailed And denounced, and the people so
intimidated that they daro not follow the
advice.
Theso conspirators fear, above all etse,
the re-election of General Grant. Thoir
insidious efforts to mislead him as to the
true situation in the South huving utterly
failed, they now fear that some persistent
and irresistible uiaiutenuuce of the right
uuder civil administration which so bril
liantly marked Generul Grunt's military
advances in the overthrow of the rebellion
may defeat their, revolutionary purposes.
1 am now fully persuaded and satisfied
that these men proposo to control tbo
Government, and reverse tho political
results of the past few years by peaceful
means, if ttar can, or by foul means, if
they dare. ^ ailing in this, another at
tempt at separation will be made.
If evidence of this were wanting, we
need bnt point to the pnhlio and private
utterances of those who were foromost
in secession and rebellion, and now de
nounce and ignore the fundamental law
—the Constitution of the United State*.
Witt the country hood end take care,
before it is too lato to prevent anotkor
war with its rightful consequences?
If my action in this emergency liuc
been postponed until nfter the meeting of
the incoming body of legislators, the Ex
ecutive branch of our State Govornmont
would have been absorbed by the conspi
rators in the Legislative branch, and
there would havo been no check upon the
wholesale repeal and destruction of all
the great measures of reform and pro-
gress that we havo labored so Lord to es
tablish. The free school system would be
abolished, tho colored citizen denied
every right guaranteed to him, and the
whole work of internal improvement car
ried on by northern capital would be
•swept away. The growing spirit of law
lessness nnd proscription for opinion’s
sake is doily rendering tho property aud
lives of Union men nnd Republicans
more nnd more unsufe, and I fear the
worst consequences if tho executive office
should l»o filled l>y one uot ouly in sym
pathy with those who urgo un aud infiatuo
this tooling, but who is moved and actua
ted by them. With no ono in tho Execu
tive offtao to call upou the geucial gov-
ornrvont for protection, its friends and
supporters would bo handed over without
un rcy to tlio assaults of their enemies.
For those reasons 1 have determined on
this step, believing that much which has
already been accomplished can ho pre
served through the wise and firm check
upon revolutionary measures that will bo
given by Gov. Conloy in control of tbc
Executive branch of tho Govornmont,
and that thereby the good of the whole
people of Georgia will be prouiotod ; and
1 slmll cheerfully give to Gov. Conley all
the information and assistance within my
power that ho may desire.

MORE DKVKLOI’SIKNTS.
Tho net grunting Stato aid to tho Bruns
wick uml Albany Railroad, authori/cd
tlio Governor to endorse the first mort
gage builds of tne road to tho extent of
*1.‘1,000 per mile, taking n first lien upon
the road and its eunipuients ; also, iu ad
dition to this, to issue to tho road the
bonds of the Stato to tho amount of
$8,000 per mile, mid take as security the
boi ds of the **oad to the extent of $10,-
000 per mile. Tho indorsed bonds to
which the road would ho entitled, if it
wore fully completed, would be $3,.300,-
000; and the amount of State bonds to
which it would be entitled if the road
were liuishod, would bo $1,880,000.
Tho law rcquircra tho Governor to is
sue amt endosre these bonds as fust us
every ten miles are completed, aud no
faster.
Tho road is completed only to Albany
—nnd poorly finished at that—so wo
learn. Yet, us we showed a few days ago,
tho entire amount of bonds to which tho
mud would he entitled, if the road were
finished, both of indorsed bonds nnd
State botuls, have all been, by urdor of
tho Governor, fully prepared, registered,
executed aud sealed with the Great Seal
of tho Stato, and delivered to him. This
was fully sot forth ill our columns a fow
days ago. We then stated that we did
uot know whether Bullock had delivered
the bonds to Mr. Kimball, or lind used
lbem unlawfully himself or not; but our
opinion was that some uulnwful use was
intended, and that (be inw bud been vio
late 1 iu having thorn issued und delivered
to hm. bj' liis order.
Wo learn from Dr. Angier that bo has
ascertained, officially, that the bonds nre
uot iu the Executive office, and no ono
there knows whore they are. Judge Cut
ting, the Secretary of Stnto, hns, by order
of Bullock, executed, sealed and deliver
ed to him nil the bonds, and they are not
in the Governor's office. Whore aro they?
Has Bullock turned them over to Mr.
Kimball contrary to law ? If so, have
they been pawned or hypothecated, and
money drawn ou them, or havo they been
Hold ? Theso aro important questions,
upon which wo cuu ouly have nu opinion
ut prescut.
But, iu addition to tho law requiring
tbo bonds of tho State to tho extent of
$8,000 per mile, to bo delivered to the
road only as fast ns ovory ten miles are
built, it Also requires bonds of tho road
to tho amount of $10,000 per mile, or
$2,330,000 iu the aggregate, to be depos
ited with the Statu Treasurer, before a
siuglo State bond is delivered to the road.
Only $030,000 of those bunds have been
deposited with thu Treasurer.
Bullock has absconded—has fled from
before tho fuco of an outraged people—to
escape tho just punishment of his crimes,
nnd has, in sumo way, disposed of, issued
or misused—so it seems to us—over
$2,000,000 of lionds more than the road
is entitled to, ns far as it is completed.
Now, if it bo truo that he bus, in any
way, issued, used or delivored tboeo
bonds unlawfully, he is liable to bo sout
to tbe renituntiary. This ho knows, and
hence his unmanly flight. The 45133th
.Section of the (Jodo provides us follows :
“Any officor, servant, or other person
employed in any public department or
station or offico of Government, of this
State, or any county, town or city of this
State, * * * who shall embezzle, steal,
secrete, fraudulently take and carry away,
any money, gold or silver, bullion, note
or notes, bank bill or bills, bill or bills of
exchange, warrant or warrants, bond or
lionds, deed or deeds, draft or drafts,
check or checks, security or securities, for
the payment of money or delivery of
goods, or other things, * * * sealed in
struments, or any certificate or othor
public security for tho State, * * * or any
day book, or other book of accounts, or
any agreement or contract, whutever;
such person so offending shall, ou con
viction, be punished by imprisonment aud
labor iu the Penitentiury for uny time not
less than two years, nor longer thou seven
years."
This languago in plain. BulJook under
stood it, and bus run away from it--at
least, this is tho ouly construction which
we can put upon his oonduct.

Depart ut evermore—

0?t. 28.—Warrants are out for tbe arrest
of Brigham Young and his son J. A.
Young, on the charge ot mnder in baring
ordered tho killing of Riohard Yates.
Tho indictments on the mnrder oaaee are
understood to be founded on the testi
mony of Bill Hickman, who was onto
termed by the Gentiles a Dan be or saeret
agent of thu Mormon authorities. Yates
visited the Mormon camp during tbe re
bellion of 1837 ostensibly to sell powder.
The Mormons regarded him as a spy, and
some weeks ot ter arrested him and placed
him in tho custody of Hickman, at Halt
Lako. D. Wells then commanded- tbo
Mormon troops, nnd Hosea Btont was
tho Judge Advocato. On the way to Salt
Lake he kitted Yates, aa ho says, by an
ordor from; Brigham Young and Joseph
A. Young, and at the instigation of Wells
and Stout;' Hidfman is also oonflned aow
at Camp Douglas. Ho went with the offi
cers to Echo Canon, atid after pblntipg

Incendiary Roofs.—The Chicago limes
says:
Among the lessons of the Chicago con
flagration is ono that must forever con
demn, iu the judgment of nil prudent
men, the contrivance known as “tar end
gravel roof.” Nino-tont*is of all the flat
roofs in this city wero, and still are, cov
ered with this highly combustible compo
sition, nnd it is wholly to this fact that
tho destruction of the north division of
tho city must be ascribed, Tbo tonfls-
gratiou was still two squares away from
the river, among the lofty stone and briok
buildings.on Luke and Randolph street*,
whan the North divtaion began to bain.
Vast .flakes of roofing paper, saturated .
with oil >and cool. tar, were taken up by
tbe high wind from flaming roofk bn 4m
South side and carried to the'dqoell^ \
combustible roofs on the North side. In '
this way the conflagration was carried
across the river, which, had it not been
for this, would in all probability hava
been the northern limit of the burnfcd
distriet. Persons who saw these flaming
firebrands in their passage describe them
as appearing like great sheets of flama
passing through the air.

Washington, October 27.—The newly
discovered frauds upon the Government,
iu which ex-Congressuian and Supervisor
8tokos, of Teuuessou, bore a prominent
part, is only ono utuoug too many illustra
tions of tho muuuor iu which tbe reckless
military legislation of Congress, dictated
and controlled by dishonest and lobbying
members of tho Lower Iiuiise, through its
Military Committee, has voted away since
tho close of thu war thousands upon thou
sands of dollars from the Treasury in pay
ment of porsous and services thut have
no existence except in tho untruthful nnd
cunningly worded preambles of these so-
called private nets and resolutions. The
recent ucts of Congress of IhiB kind are
thu vehicles of fraud aud docoplion to an
alariniug extent. Hud it not been owing
to the possibility of legislation of this
kind the Htokes case would not have oc
curred, as is evideut from a glauce at tho
legislation upon which tho fraud waa
founded. Private act No. 93, passed July
14, 1870, having peremptorily declared,
upon no other authority than its own
terms, that a certain David Beaty, of Ten
nessee, did, at a particular dato early in
the war, orgauize a company c\ scouts,
numbering exactly 102 men, wLioh was
coutiuuoualy engaged till the end of the
war in suppressing the rebellion under the
orders of tho commanding officers o' the
United States in Tennussoo, without ever
being mustered into the service or having
been paid a cent of compensation, pro
ceeds to recognize and declare Captain
Beaty’s company as a part of the army,/
and us peremptorily directs that they re
ceive thu pay, ullowauces aud pensions of
cavalry regulurly mustered in. on proof of
active service. But as this latter provi
sion was only introduced to hoodwink any
legislative eye which might be on the
alert, amt would have certainly defeated
tbo oud in view when the proof of service
was required by the War Department,
uuother proviso declares the proof ot
service to be a roll of the company, to be
made up tivo years after the close of the
war. To make Ibis roll effective for all
the swindlers it was only required that it
should be sworn to by the offieera, who
wero to ho the largest sharers of snob pari
of the spoils as Htokes and hia confeder
ates had not already allotted to themselves.
To determine the amount to be .paid to
oacli soldier, as tho uct designates these
men iu buckram, it was only necessary to
file his purported affidavit of the time he
had served. Hurpriniug as it will be to
all outside tho government bureaus to see
ou what easy terms no less than $111,029
can bo drawn from the Troasarj, this sot
is but uu avorago sample of a great many
similar enactments varied in terms, num
bers, names, localities and ainonnts to di
vert suspicion, that have boon rushed
through successive Congresses, especially
through those of which Stokes was a
member, against all reasonable probabili
ty, the record evidenc? of the Adjutant
General’s offico aud the earneat protests
of tho War Department. The War De
partment has again and again declared in
the strongest taruia that oould properly
be addressed to Congress that it hud bee. 1
invested by general laws, of even injuri
ous liberality with authority to compen
sate according to his merits every mau
who had rendered any actual military ser
vice, and that by the specUl acts passed
at every session, in disregard of its re
port* and often without its knowledge,
every distinction between those who had
been under arms aud those u ho had nev
er borne them at all was being effaced,
and a broad and inviting thoroughfare
oponed to any unscrupulous adventurer
who cbuM) to tom* liuuK.lt before Con
gress with 11 fi«:iiti«*iiN or exaggerated de
claration of unpaid services daring the
