lUM COX PEI) Eli A TX GOLD.
We have already printed a state
ment to the effect that the coin and
bullion belonging to the confederate
government is to be made the subject
of several claim suite. It appears that
the claim made for the com of the
Kchmond banks covered into the treas
ury is now presented by Wm. B. Isaacs
A Co. # of Richmond, who in 1871 pur
chased the claim. Ihe assets of the
hank of Virginia and the Farmers* bank
of Virginia were sold by order of the
United 8tatee court in 1871, and the
coin and bullion covered into the treaa
ury were conaidered as part of the as
sets. The history of this coin and bul
lion as giyen by the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Pun, is
quite interesting. On the day Rich
mond was evacuated by the confederate
f trees the coin and bullion, amounting
t • about $160,000, was loaded on one of
t »e last trains leaving that city and
Kent to Abbeville, 8. C. From that place
,t was transported in wagons to the
town of Washington, in Georgia. In
May, 1805, the banks obtained from
General 1’atrick, then in command of
the United .States troops at Richmond,
a |*ennit to bring their property back.
Several of the officers of the banks
went to Washington and started back
with their treasure. When about
eighteen miles from Washington, it is
stated, they were met by a roving band
of ex-confederate soldiers and
relieved of $250000. The remaining
$200,000 was safely carried
to Richmond and delivered
to the banks. Of the stolen $250,000
about $100,000 was subsequently re
covered and taken back to Washing'
ton, Georgia. In July the agents of the
banks made another attempt to remove
this money, but General Wild, in
charge of the freedman’s bureau, ob
jected, and said he would take prspon
sion of it for the benefit of that institu
tion. They then appealed to General
Steadman, in command of the depart
ment of iveorgia, who overruled Gen
eral Wild. By the advice of General
Steadman it was then taken to Augusta
as a safer place than Washington.
General Wild, however, sent word to
Secretary' H’anton and others about it.
Just as the bank officers were starting
from Augusta, with a permit from Gen
eral Terry and a safe conduct from
General Steadman, a special treasury
agent arrived with orders from Mr.
Stanton to transport the coin and
bullion to the capital, where it wai pine
at! as a special deposit in the treasury
The hanks then made application there,
and after a full consideration President
Johnson, upon the advice of Attorney
General S|»eed, ordered the secretary
of the treasury to turn it over to the
banka. General Spinner, then treaa-
uier, delayed to comply with the order,
and went down to the capitol person
ally and procured the passage of a joint
resolution through both houses order
ing the whole amount to be covered
into the treasury. The resolution was
referred to no committee, but passed
both houses the same day it was intro
duced. General Spinner then imme
diately sent the bullion to the mints
be coined, in order that all traces of its
identity might be lost.
and called the Virginias. Oothepr*
mitigation of this opinion in London
the cotton bonds held by English spec
ulators advanced in value, the impres
sion having got atooad that the money
could be replevined by the holders cf
the bonds, and their original invest
ment in this way was fully covered.
For some reason unknown at the treas-
uary department Secretary Bristow
dropped the claim. Recently the at
torney for another party, claim
ing to have influence, appealed
to the solicitor of the treas-
urv for a renewal of the contract. The
subject was referred to 8 -cretary Sher
man, and by him submitted to the
secretary of state, who in turn referred
th« matter to the solicitor of claims.
The officer gave it as bis opinion that
to presa the claim would involve the
United States to a certain extent for
the indebtedness of the cotton loan,and
for that reason the government had
better not undertake to claim tne
money alleged to be in the bank cf
England. This opinion, however, it is
not believed, will deter the government
from officially making inquiry as to
whether there r s money depoeited in
the bank of Ei g'and to the credit of the
confederacy. The j tint high commit*-
aion in framing the treaty of Washing
ton fully di*cu-«ed the probable claims
of British subjects, and in this treaty in
providii g fer arbitration on the claims
of Briiirii subjects, payment for slaves
•od the so-called cotton loan were ex
cluded.
These are the views of the corre
spondent, but it remains to be seen
upon what I ha federal government wi
base itsclaim to the money and wheth
er this claim will be recognize ' as just
by those having the fund in trust. It
teems to us that the holders of confed
erate cotton bonds have an interest in
the money, while the south as a sec
tion, has a clearer title than any the
federal government can eet up.
BILL CUAXDLKh'S CRUSADE.
It is stated in a recent Washington
Jit-pitch that the letter of Bill Chand
ler reviewing the alleged presidential
bargain, has been printed in pamphlet
form, end is being sent broadcast. The
cover of the pamphlet, has printed upon
it: *'Can such things be,and overerme
is like a summer cloud without cur
..ecial wonder?” In addition to
Chandler's more recent and lengthy
letter.lhe pamphlet also contaus «n ex
tract from the speech of Wm. M. Evarts
before the electoral commission, be
moaning the fate of the colored people
in the south if TiMen should he coun'-

cutions of republicans by Wade Hamp
ton, in South Carolina, ana a review < f
the Gordon-Conklir.g trouble The
pamphlet will he mai'ed to mil pr< mi-
nent republicans in the country and to
the press generally. It is a^osnid, and
the statement is vouched for by a re-
•nhlican of the Bill Chandler stripe,
and one who is quite intimate with* bit
lemlacious worthy, that a few nighta
ago a prominent southern republican
called upon Mr. C inkling ai d i-aid that

SORMAL IX Cl It EX 1' AMt BO LI TICS.
George Alfred Townsend, the well-
known newspaper correspondent, grew
genial enough the other day. be
the soup and the cranlterrv pie, to pay
a passing tribute to Georgia’s thrift
and progress and to her chief cities, At
lanta and Savannah, lu one portion
of his letter, an ex.ract from which we
print elsewhere, his desultory gossip
suddenly develop** into a little bunch
of wisdom which stands out as promi
nently ss an ink ball on an oak leaf.

wise correspondent,* 4 ^ the large sinount

and affrays, that community wauts ti

and aptness in the remark. The nor
mat, every day incidents in a commu
nity are unmistakable indications of
the thrift, energy and progress of its
ciurena, and whenever an editor is un
fortunate enough to be driven to the
necessity of belaboring the public with
long, dry and continuous discussion
on politics, it may be taken for grauted
that the community wh oh the editor
iu some sort represents is not troubled
much with the restless energy of ins**
provement. Political dhcusaion is
sometimes timely and often necessary,
but when an editor in searching fer
topics of interest continually wanders
up and down the dry, dead fiats if
politics, the isnll lies in the dearth o.
incident at their d »or.

This reminds ns of the fact that John
E. Ow**Dfl, the well-known comedian,
appropriated “The L re Indian,” writ
ten by the veteran editor of the .Savan
nah New-, and made it the stepping-
stone cf his financial and professional
sneesa. When this admirable farce
was Owens’s only ctrd, he claimed the
authorship by stating in his advertfse-
menta and programmes that it was
“translated from the orisrinal Chocktaw
by John E. Owens.” To this day he
has never given Colonel Thompson
one dollar of the proceeds cf his brain-
work, and has never acknowledged in
any way his indebtedness to the editor
of the News. Boucicanlt and Owens
ought to have their photographs taken
together. They make a truly intellec
tual pair of jreat and good men.

contrary, we have reason to think that Senau r
Hill stands higher to day in the eitimotion < f
Georgians than be ever atood b fore; that if an
ehctlon to fill the high office which he now
cccopies ebould be held to morrow, he would
choacn triumphantly his own successor.
We quite agree with our Augusta
con tern i*o rary in this matter. Censuie
maybe the most convenient, hut it
certainly is not the most effective meth
od of convincing an opponent of an
error cf judgment or opinion. We re
gard it as unfortunate that Mr. Hill
should entertain the views upon the
silver question which he recently ex
pressed to one oi our repor
ters, and we have undertaken,
with our resect for ht9 intellectual
abilities and our conti lence in his
patriotism undiministiei, to show him
the fallacy of his reasoning. At the
same time we cun afford to recognize the
right which Mr. Hill has toopiinons of
his own, and ae most heartily endorse
the remarks of the Augusta Chronicle
and Cons'itutionalist.

ARD.
A special to the Times from Berlin
says the Russians have consented to
enter into negotiations for armistice,
even if the preliminaries of peace aie
not settled beforehand. The conclu
sion of a trace is possible.
Note.—This is probably the real ba*.
sis of the apparent
ACCORD BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ENGLAND
The latet efforts of Eugland have been
reported to be directed to fixing a limit
to the powera of the commanders in
> rranging a trace, and preventing them
from discussing the main stipulations
which might contain preliminaries of
peace. That there are limits to her
claim to a separate settlement, even
Russia has almitted all along, the only
question being whether the czar will
consent to have these limits fixed at
present, and on the demand of only
one power.
HOW IT WAS REACHED.
London, January 9. - According to
the Times’ Berlin correspondent, who
is in a good position to know, a com
promise has been reached rather f tvor-
able to the British view. When the
English cabinet asked Russia to state
tier conditions fo- peace or an armis-
Mce, aud Russia declined, England be
gan a new negotiation to secure the
separation of an armistice from the
terms of peace. The Russian official
press have since persistently declared
that the two steps were inseparable,
’hereby implying that Russia would
not abandon her claim tu conclude

A SINGLE HANDED PEACE.
England’s position during the nego-
1 iation has been atated to be that she
would take no steps towards encoura
ging an armistice, if proceedings to that
end were going to be used to fasten
upon Europe a series of accomp ished
facts which would only be submitted
for subsequent ratification as a matter
of form. This morning’s announce
ments indicate the success of the Eng-
.ish view. Theee announcements are
further confirmed by the following dis-
oatch, just received by Reuters from
Constantinople:
A COUNCIL OF MINISTERS ** ~
have agreed upon conditions of an ar
mistice, and submitted them for the
sultau’s approval. Iu opening direct
negotiations purely f*»r a military ar
mistice, the porte is said to be acting
upon Lord Derby’s advice.
THE SULTAN’S APPROVAL.

ro Reuter’s, dated 8:40 o’clock this
(Wednesday) morning, says:_ The sul
tan having approved armistice condi
tions mentioned in a dispatch hence of
he S h ins'., as having been submitted
o him by the ministers, Reaof Pasha,
minister of *ar, has ordered command
ers in the field toconc ude an armistice
with the Russian commanders. Be!ore
agreeing on this conne, Sever Pasha,
Turkish foreign minister, telegraphed
to Musninr Pasha, ambassador at Lon
don, in-trueing him to request Lord
Derby to arrange with Russia
THE CONDITIONS OF AN ARMISTICE.
Lord Derby replied that Russia would
uot entertain such a proposal, and coun
seled direct negotiations between the
beligerents, and stated that negotia-
r ions continue between England and
Russia on the question of mediation.
Tup chamber of deputies having heard
explanations of the ministers, declared
hem satisfactory, and especially ap
proved Server Pd9ha’s foreign policy.
All the ministers were present during
.he debate.

pressed by the delegates in conversation
at the hotels in the evening showed it
to be impossible to pa s resolutions
condemnatory of the piesident or his
policy. In the early part of the eve
ning it seemed that both parties were
DISPOSED TO MAKE CONCESSIONS,
and it was thought if the matter was
not entirely ignored an indorsement
made in the resolutions would be mild
or of a non committal character. There
was a strong
FEELING AGAINST CHANDLER
which was freely expressed bv the dele
gates, and it was claimed by Chandler’s
friends there had been an organized ef
fort to crush him, and that
secret meetings had been held for that
purpose, and that various prominent
men had been drawn into it. The
meeting was opened at 9 o’clock, and
durirg the early part of the evening
the proceedings were quiet and harmo
nious, though in many of the speeches
there were incidental or indirect
ATTACKS ON MR. CHANDLER'S RECENT
LETTER.
The first speech was made by ex-Uni
ted States Senator Patterson, who,
though he endorsed the president,
doubted the advisability of introducing
the matter into the convention, as there
was a disagreement upon it Speeches
advocating either a conciliatory policy
or positive endorsement of Hayes were
made by Gen. Stevens, Maj. E. W Farr,
O C. Moore and others. Messrs. A.
II. Luck, Mason and W. Tappan
severely attacked W. E Chandler,

by the terms v
fourth congress, establishing the elec
toral commission, it was provided tnat
no decision of the presidential election,
under that act, should preclude a judi
cial decision of the question.
That the obvious intent of this pro
vision was to assure the people that it
should be determined on its merits by
the proper judicial tribunal, in the
event that the commission should hold
itself incompetent to render such a de
cleion.
That, by its proceedings, it fully ap
pears that said commission held it was
incompetent to inquire whether formal
returns of the eeverel states which were
submitted to it were true or false.
That, in coneeqnence of this decis
ion, the present incumbent ol ibt
preridential chair was seated in virtue
of returns, which were notoriously false
and fraudulent, and so, in effect, ad
mitted by Mr. Justice Strong, whose
vote seated him, also by the meum
bent himself, in disregarding those re
turns as respects state officers, whose
titles to office were also based on them
and were in every respect identical
with his own.
That whilst the repudiation of these
returns by the incumbeat for all pur
poses save his own election, is an ad
mission that it was a fraud to use them
for his own purpose, the motives which
induced this partial repudiation greatly
aggravates his offense.

Rsolved, That the republicans of
New Hampshire reaffirm and reidopt

the party to these declarations and
principles, to-wit: The United States
of America ia a nation ; the full pror
tection of all citizens in the fud enjoy
ment of all their rights; the permanent
pacification of the southern section of
the union ; the redemption of United
States notes in coiu by a continuous
and steady progress to specie payment;
I that senators and representatives who
miy be judges and accusers
snould not dictate appointments
to offices; the invariable rule
was a condition imposed by said Brown
and his associates, then holding the
balance of power in the house of rep
resentatives, on which alone the in
cumbent would be allowed to be count
ed into office upon these false returns.
That this condition was accepted for
the incumbent' by Messrs. Stanley
Mathews and Charles Foster, then and
since, his closest friends and most au
thoritative representatives.
That said Brown and his associa f es
had been elected as the adversaries
of the incumbent, but separated from
the great body of their political associ
ates in the house of representatives to
carry into effect said arrangemi nt.
That at the time of entering into it,
they were the leading advocates of the
bill pending in said house, to gr*nt a
large subsidy to Southern Pacific rail
roads, to which the president-elect was
known to be opposed, and it is a just
inference, from all the circnmstai ces,
that whilst they were willing to defeat
his inauguration for this reason, they
could not venture to act with their po
litical opponents for that object, if
such co-operation involved also the
surrender oi the lrcal governments of
the state in question, as well as their
electoral votes to their political oppo
nents*.
That to remove the obstacle-*, it was
stipulated in effect that the ircumb nt
should treat the returns as fraudulent
10 far as they affected the 1-ical gov
ernments of said states by withdrawing
the United Slates troops,the presence of
which alone, it was known, gave them
any force.
That it thus appears that the consti
tutional question so gravely and elabo
rately debated in congress before the
electoral commission and in the public
press as a question on which the presi
dential contest hinged, and with which
the public mind was so long exercised,
had no part in determining the contest,
but that it was, in fact, determined by
a body of men elected by one party, bur.
openly acting with their opponents ii

tions, at the decisive moment that
every interest of the country is greatly
prejudiced, and its most vital interests
jeopardized, by suffering tne people to

and substituting for them such monied
organizations that will pay fordtfrauri
icg them.
That in the opinion of your memori
alists, the continued prostration of busi
ness is due to the fact that the confi
dence of the people in the con luce of
public officers is shaken.

the west, the winters are not so long,
so cold. Consf quently, h's cattle do
not require as mucb food, or as expen

it is almost a necessity to keep cattle up
through the winier. It is not neces
sary here, and perhaps too close con
finement is not healthy for them. Ah
matter of course, cow houses or sheds
nhould be erected on a well managed
farm, and cattle sbonld be c >mforiably
provided for during very severe weath

them by kindness, and when suitable
weather presents itself, let them have
lots or woods to roam in.

— If a great state defms it important
to place the above on her coat of arms,
would it not be a good plan fer every
Georgia farmer to follow suit? Why
not raise the yield of your cotton, corn,
oats, wheat, yea, of whatever you grow t
to the eatest possible maximum?
Are you satisfied to say “ I have a fair
crop,”—or “ my cattle, or my hogs, are
about as good as common ?” Why,
agriculture is the great industry of
Georgia, and it should be the aim and
pride of every Georgia farmer to do his
part in making that great industry
prosperous. In doing so he not only
accumulates property for hlmBelf, but
Bee Keeping.
— If our farmers would propagate,
support and preserve bees, they would
find more advantages in it than they
imagine. There is no reason why
Georgia should not make honey, large
in quantity, and excellent in quality
and flavor. Among other reasons for
propagating bees, they destroy numer
ous insects which feed upon the honey
in the bloom of trees, shrubs, and
herbs, and which work harm in various
ways.

—The earth, in general,,ts a compound
of vegetable matter, firmed by nature,
to propagate a variety of plants,and
those elements, peculiar to each plant,
must be extracted from tbe earth by
each peculiar species of p'ant. The
land may have streneht to bring good
different crops one after another; but
it seldom abounds whith one element,
sufficient to produce a good crop of
