THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN
officer in the Revolutionary War, as foil
settlement of their just claims against
this State.
Mr. Russell earnestly represented the
facts connected with the claim, and said,
every Legislature before which this claim
has come reported favorably on it. He
made an eloquent appeal to the House in
behalf of the heirs of a distinguished of
ficer.
Mr. Crittenden stated the circumstan
ces connected with the consideration of
this claim by the Finance Committee.
He was in favor of paying just claims,
and was not in favor of pleading poverty
to swindle people out of their rights.
The Committee of the Whole reported
adversely to the bill, and it was. lost.
House adjourned until 7 P. M.
NIGHT SESSION.
Bill to create a Board of Commission
ers for Habersham county was taken up,

The Columbus Enquirer says:
The Democratic State Convention at
Atlanta pertormed its part most judi
ciously and acceptably by nominating CoL
James M.Smith for the Execcutive Chair.
His career in public life has just com
menced, and already he is the favorite of
the people of the State for the highest
office within their gift. It is seldom that
a politician, without any art or effort on
his own part, makes such rapid advances
up the ladder of promotion. In tliisdn-
stance the honor has been won by merit
alone. Legislators and other intelligent
men from all parts of the State perceived
at once that in Colonel Smith Georgia
had a man admirably combining the
qualities most needed in the present
emergency, and they made haste to press
him into the service.
The Organ of the “New Rebellion,” in
speaking of the Democratic Party, says
it is a party, “wliicli relies more upon vio
lence and intimidation at the polls, than
upon reason at the hustings or fair elec
tions for success.”
That is decidedly cool for a journal
which has invoked a collision between
State and Federal authority; in other
words, the interference of Grant’s bayo
nets to sustain Benjamin Conley in set
ting at defiance the Constitution and
laws of the State, as well as the wishes
of the people. It is refreshing, coming
ns it does, from the recognized organ of
the lawless, bayonet party, of which Bul
lock and Blodgett and Harris were the
recognized chiefs, and through whose
unlawful acts the people have been
robbed of millions. It was the party of
which these creatures were the chiefs,
Yesterday the members of the Bond
Ring swarmed about the Capitol, highly
excited because the Legislature was pass
ing the Bond Bill over Mr. Conley’s veto.
This Ring might as well pack up and
go home. The Legislature will not
be controlled by it.
Tub Walker County Prisoners, eight
in number, who were charged with dis
guising themselves and whipping a ne
gro, appeared before Judge W. B. Smith
yesterday. Their names are as follows:
Budd Paris, Wm. Paris, Andrew Little,
Frank Childers, Wm. Hall, Budd Haw
kins and G. C. Brooks. The latter turn
ed government evidence and tried hard
to convict the prisoners. After a thor
ough examination, Judge Smith was con
vinced that the whipping had taken
place, but the testimony was not suffi
cient to identify the prisoners as the of
fenders; nor was it sufficiently clear that
the act of violence was committed after
the passage of the Enforcement act by
Congress. In consideration of this last
development tho prisoners were dis
charged.
The Dade county prisoners—except
four who have given bond—are still in
prison. An investigation of the charges
against some of them will take place to
morrow.
Mayor’s Court—The First Thing

organ that has manacled the South, and
rifled her pockets; that has held sham
bayonet elections and counted votes to
its liking a la Hulbert—the success of
which has been secured from first to last
by force, fraud, intimidation, violence,
and bayonets, at the polls and elsewhere.
This is a beautiful charge for the or
gan of the party that exists only by reas
on of outrage, to make against a party
which has never been otherwise than
law abiding; which has never advocated,
or practiced, or sanctioned any violence
or fraud, and has always depended for
its strength, upon its adherence to prin
ciples and its protection of popular liber
ty and individual rights.
The Legislature has passed a bill to
protect the people of Georgia against the
illegal and fraudulent issue of Bonds by
Bullock. Acting Governor Conley vetoed
it, and yesterday both branches passed it
over his veto.
This bill proposes to require the hold
ers of all bonds of the State, issued since
1868, to send them into the Treasury for
examination, to see whether they are ille
gal or not. A cry of repudiation is raised
against this requirement. It occurs to
us that those who refuse to submit their
bonds to this inspection thereby stand as
self-confessed holders of fraudulent obli
gations—the same as forged papers. Men
who hold legal bonds of this State, which
tify against their perseenters, and the
room was resounding with sepulchral
grants and demoniacal bellows, that
made the tribunal quake with fear and
trembling. Lowry, in this emergency,
dismissed them until Tuesday, hoping
that His Honor’s favor with Plutonian
spirits would conciliate the vengeance of
these assassinated swine. Let the pub
lic hope and trust that this slaughter-pen
question, which threatens to revolution
ize our social system, wil be wisely dis
posed of on Tuesday next. ,
AN UNSOPHISTICATED COUNTRYMAN
happened to spy Fatty Harris, and was so
overpowered with his genial philanthro
pic smile, the innocent, benevolent
mien and the commanding and reveren
tial dignity of this modern giant, that
he fell down, like a Ganges Hindoo, in
mate adoration, believing him to be a
demigod. Fatty vanished and left the
poor innocent bewildered at this super
natural vision. A policeman came
along, washed the mud from his face,
pumped the contagious fumes of Radi
calism, (which had been so nearly fatal),
from his nostrils, condncted him like a
lamb, to Lowry, who told him Harris
was the very d—deuce, and charged him
$5 for the lesson. “God bless you,’’said
the unfortunate chiid.

The Democratic Press of the. State,

approval of the nomination for Gover

these notices, but have not the space to
do so. The Chronicle and Sentinel says:
Snch a nomination—and the nomina

shadows tranquility in political matters,
and avoids that excitement which engen

knell of “the rings” and corruptionists,
who, for the past three years, have trans
formed legislation into a gambling pool,
and converted the Executive office into a
broker’s shop. It means that there shall
be a return of honesty and faithfulness to
trust in official administration. This is
much—a good greatly to be desired. But
it means more than this. It means that
the power of rogues’ rings shall be utter
ly broken, and that their political reign
shall cease. It means that in the return
of honesty and efficiency in administra
tion that there shall be a faithful and
honest observance of law; that rogues
shall be brought to answer at the bar of
justice, and that there shall be a com
plete—thoroughly complete—investiga
tion of onr disordered State finances. It
means an honest provision for that which
is due by the State in law or in equity.
It means just encouragement to honest

The Insurance public are closely scrutinizing the financial management of our still solvent Insurance
Companies. It is constantly repeated that some of tho prominent Companies arc borrowing largely from
the future, and itis said that tho unusual delay iu adjusting claims arises from the necessity of accumu
lating premium receipts to pay losses,
Whether or not these things be so, it afforded us true pleasure to be oouviuced that one Company, at
least, has taken steps to pay its losses in full, without impairing its cash capital surplus before the Chicago
fire, or using its present premium receipts, which may ha needed to pay future losses. Its Board of Di
rectors made, on October 16 an assessment upon the stockholders, to bo paid in sixty days, sufficient to
_ m _ pay every dollar lost in Chicago, and already half of tho assessments has been paid befo-o maturity. The
■Tile Prince ~t)assed the moraine I Stockholders number 375, and, we are informed by parties not belongiug to tho company, arc all wealthy
men in Central Ohio. For such honorable conduct anp correet financial management wo praise tho Home
Lnnmiiv hiatehnionornTicm nsurance company of Columbus, Ohio. This action commends the company to the public as a desirable

THE HOME INSURANCE COMPANY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
This sterling institution deserves to rank as one of the soundest and host conducted insurance compa
nies in existence. The excellent management which has always characterized its workings, and, above
all, the prompt and satisfactory manner in which it has adjusted and paid, as fast as tho necessary prelim
inaries could, be arranged, every dollar of its losses by the great Chicago fire, entitles tho Home, of Colum
bus, Ohio, to the confidence of tho people everywhere. It is a rare thing, iu these, degenerate days, to
find a fire insurance organization so utterly above reproach in all respects. As soon as the amouut of tho
company's losses in Chicago tiad been ascertained, tho stockholders decided at once to pay every dollar
of those losses, by assessments, and without resorting to the premium receipts, which are large and in
creasing all over the country, so that its new premiums and capital stock now furnish the best and most
reliable security for policy holders. This company can be cordially ^recommended to tho general public as
one which maybe relied upon by those seeking sound insurance—Chicago Tribune.
