Account of Henry Clews & Co. • The acoonnt which this firm, who are the agents end confederates of Kimball, Bullock, Blodgett k Co., have presented against the State of Georgia, is a fearful one, a bare inspection of which is enough to'make an honest man sick at heart. We have not the time or space to de vote to comments, bat mast content our selves, this morning, with presenting a few facts. His claim against the State amonnts'to over $1,000,000. Among the items are numerous drafts drawn by Bullock for large sums of money, the proceeds of some of which have come into the State Treasury, but others are unaccounted for. There are large numbers of charges for commissions, interest, advertising, tele graphing, express charges) Ac., whose amounts swell np enormously, and cause astonishment at the impudence of the man who can find the hardihood to pre sent them. The charge for commissions alone is $93,749 45, and for advertising $14,320. These commissions and advertising charges are all for his efforts to sell bonds which have been issued by Gov. Bullock. The firm have a separate account for transactions connected with the old bonds of the State, redeeming such as were due, paying interest, expenses, &c., amounting in all to over $300,000; and his trans actions in connection with new bonds to over $700,000. We give a few items of charges for ad vertising, in connection with the old bond account, beginning December 6th, 1870. Daring tho month of December, he claims to have paid the following:— New York Herald, $68 80; S. A. Sackett, $227 50; Commercial Advertiser, $272 50; New York Sun, $300; Evening Express, $180; Evening Post, $110 25; Evening Mail, $180; New York World, $203. | In* January, 1871, New York Times, $177; Standard, $1G3 80; Evening Post, $183 60; Daily Star, 148 50. In April, for advertising in New York, Philadelphia and Boston, $380 70. In July following, from the 18tli to the 25th, in various papers, $2,695 57; and from that time to tho end of the month, $968. , In August last, the charges for adver tising were $889 79, a single item of which is publishing “Bullock’s letter,” $300. In December last, the firm claims to have paid the Continental Bank Note Company $3,467 for engraving. State bonds. On the 4th January last, $547 85 are charged for “foreign dispatches,” and on the 24th March last for “telegrams,” $262 08, and on the 29th May last for “foreign telegrams,” $208 32. On this same day (29th May) he charges “expen ses” on 717 bonds of $1000 each, sent to Europe at various times, $1,792 50. On the 1st September last, theyjcharge “expenses on bonds to Europe,” $2,- 332 60, and on the same day “cable tele grams,” $417 45, making a total of $2,- 750 05 on a batch of $933,000 of State bonds sent to Europe. All this is in addition to the claims on account of State Road drafts and notes of Foster Blodgett, which we laid before onr readers a few days ago. There are ^numerous items of Express charges—indicating that Clews & Co, paid the Express Company for delivering to them State bonds sent for redemption, which, if true, is a fraud upon tho people of Georgia. The debit items in this huge accpunt fill ten or twelve closely written pages, while there are only two items on the credit side of. the account—both for the proceeds of the sale of State bonds. On tho 15th of February last credit is given for the proceeds of sale of 500 gold bonds of $1,000 each at 87}, equal to $437,500; and on the 8th of September of 1,150 bonds of $1,000 each at '86}, equal to $994,750; in all $1,432,250 for the sale of $1,650,000 of bonds. There is something suspicious on the face of this statement of bonds sold. . A gentleman of this city tried to sell some of Bullock’s gold bonds in New York, last Spring, and could not get an offer of more than fifty cents on the dollar. Fi nally, Mr. Clews gave him eighty-five, rather than allow them to be thrust upon the market for just what they .would bring. We doubt if (Clews & Co. have made a bona fide sale of a single bond; for it is believed that the Bullock bonds have had next to no negotiable value in New York. It is particularly believed that np one could be found on the 8tb of September last who woald have given 86} for the new bonds which Bullock and Company have been trying so hard to sell. ^ One of the Operations of the * ♦‘Rinr.” therefore the necessity for its construe- Walton Circnit—Brown’s Chapel, Pen- tion was very good. j Ho P e ~ ]ReT - K S * Mc ‘ Tlm work has not been paid for.

It was only the day before Bullock left, in his flight to parts unknown, that he was called upon by these contractors, who had long needed their money, They were assured by Bullock most positively that they would be paid without delay in a very few days; and that be would see to it himself. This promise was given by him with the knowledge on his part that it would not be performed, for he was then having his carpet-bag packed for his secret flight. That resignation and slanderous address of his were, no doubt, already written while making these promises; and he, no donbt, knew that he would be many miles away from this city when those contrac tors would expect his promises to be com plied with. THE CAPITOL.. Senator Norwood. This was the principal result of yes terday’s proceedings of the General As sembly. It was a very quiet and a very orderly election. The result was not un expected, as the matter had been settled beyond a peradventure by the caucus held last week. Before the caucus the contest was pretty spicy. Several dis tinguished gentlemen were mentioned in connection with the high and honorable office, all of whom were backed ky a highly respectable number of friends in the Assembly. It became a question of who had most friends. The candidates were all so suitable—so able and distin guished, that it was a very nice point to decide between them. But the caucus was held, and a preference was expressed for Hon. T. M. Norwood, of Savannah; and this gentleman may well feel flat tered, as his was no mean opposition, but an opposition composed of some of the best and strongest men in the State. Thus, having secured the caucus nomi nation, his election yesterday was a mere matter of form, as there was no consid erable opposition. The Radical Saints trotted out no candidate, but fell back upon the unadulterated Blodgett, as their Senator, by right of a previous election, which was irregular, illegal, un constitutional, null and void, and no more entitles him to a seat in the Senate, as representative from Georgia, than one of the savages of Otaheite is entitled to it. The King of the Ashantees, and his fragrant adjuncts, in both branches of the Assembly, entered their protests against the election of Mr. Norwood. They have a right to protest as much as they please, hut all their protests cannot entitle the dapper Mr. Blodgett, intel lectually, morally, or legally, to a seat in the United States Senate. One. aromatic Saint rallied all his intellectual and physical forces, compressed them into a single ballot, and exploded it for Ephraim Tweedy. The Senate declined to agree to the re port of the Printing Committee, which was adverse to letting the State work ont to tli8 lowest bidder, r and committed the matter into the hands of a special com mittee of three, of which Senator Nnn- nally is chairman. If this matter is pro perly investigated, it will be found that there is a vast deal of room for curtailing expenses in this matter of State Print ing, and as the Legislature appears to be marking out a wisely economical line, it were well to make a clean sweep as it goes. A few thousand saved on Public Printing annually is that much clear gain. Methodist Protestant Confer ence. bor and Mt Zion—Rev. O. Reeves, Pas tor; Rev. W. S.

With the sanction of the Con Terence, the President appointed Rev. J. G. Mitchell and Rev. John G. Caldwell as Messengers. The Special Committee to employ a Conference Missionary, with adequate salary, presented the name of Rev. Dr. Geo. Harlan, who was confirmed by the unanimous vote of the Conference as Missionary at large. Resolved, That the interest manifest ed by the citizens of Atlanta, for the support and comfort of the members composing this conference,deserves at our hands something more than a favorite return of thanks. We fed a great duty would have been neglected, if we fail to make a public expression of your kind ness to us during our stay among you. We bid you adieu, leaving our best wishes for your prosperity, and remem bering you in our prayers before the Throne of Grace.

At present, however, the Hornet has got into Spain’s nest, and is forced to lag there. An exchange says: “ Sneer not at old clothes. They are often made holy by long sacrifices.” Pogue says his were made hole-y by long wear. In fact that is the way he sacrificed them. “Canada is to be bored for petro leum.” It seems eminently desirable that the world should let this petroleum business alone, until a few hundred in cendiaries should have been caught and hanged. The President may receive pres ents of houses, horses, or money to any amount, but a poor letter-carrier is for bidden anything of the kind. This controverts the old adage, Like master like man.—(Boston Post.) But the Presi dent only gets $25,000 a year, and how is a man to keep fine horses, smoke fine segars, and travel ever so many thousand miles a year, on that unless he had some outside help. The Post is unreasonable. Governor Bullock, last spring, em ployed a prominent firm of builders in this city to construct an addition to the Governor’s Mansion, to be used as a kitchen, and to contain the apparatus for heating the entire building by steam. One or two gentlemen, prominently con nected with the big moneyed operations by which the people of Georgia have been so fearfully plundered, took an ac tive part in the building, giving orders for it to be done, directing the construe tion and promising to see it paid for. There was no authority of law to have Evening Session, Second Day. Atlanta, November 11th, 1871. Conference met at two o’clock. Committee on Orders and Itineracy, reported the following candidates: For Deacons’ Orders: Jas. Prophit; for El ders’ Orders: Jno. G. Caldwell and G. P. Southerland. Rev. T. Weldon was received as an Elder from the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Conference resolved itself into a missionary meeting, and consumed the time up to the hour of adjournment, to devise ways and means to visit many churches, neglected since the late war, by special missionaries. $300 00 was subscribed by the members of the con ference. Third Day—-November 13,1871. Tho Conference met at the appointed hour. Religious services;by Rev. T. A. Adams. The Committee on Circuits and their Pastors made the following report: Carrol Circuit—No change—Rev. John Thurman, Pastor; Revs. A. Tamer and S. E. Smith, Assistants.

Spalding Circuit—Harmony, Shady Grove and New Bethany—Rev. T. E. Grant as a Logician. The newspapers are making fun of the President’s Portland speech. They ought not to do it. Was it not a very good speech? It will be remembered it ran as follows: “ Citizens of Portland: I have.very vivid recollection of a, to me, gratifying visit I made six years ago in your city. Now I return from an equally pleasant one, both here and in other parts of your State. My reception has been most pleasing, and I hope my visits will not he so far apart in the future, otherwise I shall not be able to visit you often before I am a very old man. I thank you for this greeting.” Now, we contend that this was an emi nently wise, patriotic, and conservative speech. We can find no fanlt with it. It was not tedious. Nobody could com plain with being tired out with listening to it. It was easily reported. Above all, it was sound aDd true, which public speeches sometimes are not. It will bear the closest analysis. See what a beautiful series of syllogisms may be made of it—viz (i.) Six years is along time; I have not seen you for six years. Therefore, it is a long time since I saw you. (n.) A few long times make a lifetime, Six years is a long time. Therefore a few times six years make a lifetime. (ra.) In the course of lifetime I shall be a very old man. A few times six years make a lifetime. Therefore, in the coarse of a few times six years I shall be a very old man. (iv.j If I don’t see you oftener than hereto fore,! shall see you only once in six years. In the course of a few times six years I shall be a very old man. Therefore, if I see you no oftener than before, I shall see you only a few times before I am a very old man. We really think Mr. Grant's speech was one of the ^most lucid and logical ever delivered by that distinguished orator.—Exchange. — BSP* The Washington Chronicle of the 11th has this item: We learn that Governor Sam Bard,late of the True Georgian, will resume jour nalism in a few weeks. Preparations are being rapidly made for his new journal. Let the Bourbon Democracy “stand from under.” The fact that this first appears in Wash ington—the fact that it first appears in the Washington Chronicle—means some thing. The Chronicle is one of the most ultra Radical papers in the country, and somewhere or other, something is said about a dog returning to his vomit. It is hoped that Grant, or his subordinates, will soon be sober enough to let the public know what the admin istration knows about South Carolina.— A few weeks ago Marion county was de clared to he under martial law. A sup plementary proclamation said that it was not Marion but Union, that was meant. Still another proclamation came supend ing habeas corpus in Marion, and the dis patches published yesterday morning again repeat, not Marion but Union.— The popular belief is that some body is muddled if not fuddled. Confident.. Capt. Foster Blodgett, we learn, is buoyantly hopeful of securing a seat in the United States Senate when Congress reassembles, and has so expressed him self. Perhaps he has reason for the hope that is in him, and perhaps not. GEORGIA MATTERS. A cow attacked a lady on the streets in Savannah Saturday, and gored her dress in a way not prescribed by the mode. Savannah jumps Hon. Julian Hartridge os the man to make the race for Gov ernor. Rome hoists J. L Wright for Mayor. That’s right. A correspondent of the Savannah Re publican suggests General Colquitt for Governor. Mr. Clark, of Savannah, died in Grif fin Sunday. Savannah acknowledges the receipt of the fiist frost of the season. Templeton will run St. Andrews Hall during Fair week in Savannah. Hon. T. M. Norwood, our Senator elect, will leave the city this morning for Savannah, where he will remain until the approaching session of Congress. The Nomination of a Candidate for Governor. Our neighbor, the Constitution, of yes terday, has a short communication on this subject, signed “Fas Poputi," from which we extract the following, to give it onr hearty indorsement: It is expected andidemanded that the person nomi nated ahaU be of the most unquestioned and un questionable integrity. None other vriU suit the times, and none other will satisfy the people. Let be a man above suspicion. The financial condition of the State requires that a man of the most sterling integrity be placed at the helm. No other than such a one can have the con fidence of the people, and without their confidence, his administration would be a source of continual distrust. Let such a nomination be made without regard to rings or cliques-or factions, and the peo ple wiU acquiesce, otherwise dissatisfaction and dis union will ensue. A correspondent of Thh Sun, alluding to the foregoing, says: It expresses the real sentiments of the people of Georgia. Radicals and cor ruptionists, and rings for plunder, have formed a powerful combination, and will, no donbt, make a desperate effort, se cretly, and by every means in their power, to control the nomination; and, xf they fail in this, will be defeated and theii power broken and lost in Georgia.— The great Democratic family of the grand old Commonwealth will not be satisfied with any man who is not above suspicion, and can stand forth tried and pure. The destiny of the State is in the hands of her sons. If we will be vigilant, true to principle, true to our wives and chil dren, our common heritage, our glorious record and our noble dead, a bright fu ture awaits our down-trodden State. An Old Democrat. T ELBGKAMS. Washington, Nov. 14,—There was a full Cabinet to-day, but a short session. Caleb Cushing has resigned the coun- selship before the American-Sjmnish Commission.

The Health Board feel no uneasiness abont the cholera, but profess to feel un easy relative to the small pox; but only eight new cases have occurred in the whole city since Saturday.

A little Hottentotish individual was before His Honor yesterday morning, charged with resorting to a mode of de fense unli< ard of in civilized warfare.— He doubtless imagined himself on the pyramids of Egypt projecting huge stones upon Napoleon’s Legion of Honor. Be ing attacked by a member of a neighbor ing tribe, he retreated up two or three flights of stairs, and commenced rolling stones on his antagonists with a despera tion that—sent him to the calaboose, jj MR. WARD succeeded iu warding off a charge of “ disorderly conduct” by proving that he was playing, “jus funnin.” He paid costs by affording the Court a hearty laugh. * A TOUCHING SCENE was enacted before His Honor yesterday morning, and no one knew better how to dispose of the case. A young man re cently married, somewhat intoxicated on hell-brewed whisky, had met with a profligate woman, who, under pretense of seeking shelter from the storm, sought the hospitalities of his house, with the wicked design of violating the conjugal sanctity of their humble home. The young man consented. His young, lov ing wife protested. He struck her for the first time, and she came to the Court, melting with tears to testify against her wayward husband. His Honor lectured him kindly told the anonyma she was infamous, charged $10 and costs and dismissed tho sorrowful young wife with a heart full of sympathy and the following admonition: “ Let us gather up the sunbeams Lying all around our path; Let us keep tho wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff; Let us find onr sweetest comfort In the blessings of to-day, With a patient hand removing All the briars from our way.” Mr. Croaliy, The attorney of Messrs. Clews & Co., is in the city, for the purpose of pre senting the claim of the latter against the State, and giving any explanation in connection with the same. He repre sents the items in the accounts of bi3 clients as being strictly correct—all in curred by order of Gov. Bullock; and that any seeming extravagance in them are not chargeable to Clews, hut to Bul lock. We have no desire to do injustice to Mr. Clews or Gov. Bullock, or any one else. The account presented by Clews & Co. against the State is a fearful one, which needs careful investigation. Nashville, November 15.—An oil well, thirty miles from Nashville, flows 100 gallons a day. Louisville, November 15.—The citi zens of Henryville, Indiana, put a rope around a negro’s neck, and frightened him into a confession of the murder of the Park family, with two negro accom plices. He planned the murder, believ ing that Park had $500 or $600. They got $140. The three are now in jail a Jeffersonville. Sale of fUe “True Georgian.’’ The office of this journal—including type, presses, furniture, books, goad •will, etc., was sold yesterday at public outcry—the Hon. Joseph E. Brown be ing the purchaser at $3,600. There was but one article reserved, and that was the picture of the late Editor, and Ex-Gov ernor of the Territory of Idaho, which, by special permission of the creditors, was donated to Gen. Alfred Austell, as a Souvenir from his friend Bard. Gov. Brown bought the office to secure advan ces, and we do not know that he will run the paper. State University. The article in this morning’s paper about the State University is from the pen of of one of the ablest men and first scholars in the Southern States. He has been personally and closely identified with education and educational institu tions in this country for many years.— His authority, experience and practicable wisdom on this question, so all-important to our prosperity as a State and people, are unimpeachable, and his advice should be seriously considered. Further ar ticles, presenting the most liberal, catho lic and wholesome designs for our ad vancement to high rank iu education, will appear in the columns of The Sun at an early day.
