THU STATE ROAD LEASE.
Our readers w ill doubtless reeo le<*l
i.e charge ot fie At wit a Herald, tl at
ihu present leasees ot the Slate Hoad
obtained the lease hy the aid of bribery,
and it may ho interesting to them to learn
the results arrived at hy the Legislative
Committee appointed to investigate the
matter.
The Committee reported that the
charge of bribery waa unfounded, and
their report waa unanimously adopted by
the Legislature. The testimony upon
which this report was baaed ia volumi
nous, but full of interest. One point
involves a question of journalistic ethica,
and deserves at least a passing mention
from every psper in the State.
It aupeam from the testimony that the
Atlanta Constitution took A position ed
itorially in favor of the leaso i that it
afterward* admitted, totters, communica
tions etc. from both sidos, -and charged
for the same, receiving front the lessees
$5,000 in a lump, nnd so maoh a line 1
trout the opposition. Ndvr coittes Ihe
question, was tiiis course in accordance
will) the sillies ot journalism* Did ft
fill the requirements of that vugue, im
writteu and potential Code which is*trp
; posed lo be the standard of litgli-toned
I journalists ? There seems to lie differ
nice ot opinion in reference to this deli
! cate point. CVd. I. W. Ave-v, a
former editor of the Constitution, tola
the Lommillee that suidr conduct “was
not exactly prn|>er journalism,' and Col.
W. T. Thonqwon. of the Savannah
Xevt, also pronour.ee* against the pro
priety of such a course. Per contra,
the Constitution coin' * to the front with
tiie following statement:
“It will be seen that Governor Brown
swears directly and positively that he
made no con (tact with the Constitution
(or any other paper) for it* editorial con
trol, and thut the money was paid solely
1 for the publication ot communications,
! letters, reprints and articles in advocacy
of the case. The Constitution published
a great mass of uoh and charged full
prices. Every journal in the land
charges for the insertion of such matter,
and we shall gladly avail ourselves of
any opportunity to swell the income of
tiie Constitution by receipts from pay
ments for tho use ot our space. We
repeal tho assertion heretofore made that
no man, set of men, company or corpo
ration shall advocate, through our col
umns, personal interests, without paying,
and paying well, tor the same. It every
newspaper would rigidly-oontorin to the
rule ot forcing payment tor original
matter intended to advance personal in
terests or enterprises, there would be less
bankruptcy in the journalistic profession.
The newspaper is 100 often deadheaded
— more often than any other institution.
Tho : ouriia'ist's duty is to publish news,
and teach tile peopljL,.lu|t_ij! *o.doing,he
mens are made tiie common jweperty of
all seekingt') use them.”
The Constitution is mnrfifea'ly right.
It would lie base in lop extreme to sell
the editorial control-erf a p|ier, hut when
an -editorial position lias been lioitetttly
Taken, “it (sutfthing more than just that
parties ntlio desire to profit by using tho'
spaeo and material of tiie paper should
pay for tiie same. We believe thin posi
tinn lo he the only correct one, nnd teel
satisfied that it will be sanctioned by the
leading journalists of the land.
A KICKISO PRESIDENT-.
President Grant, if he is not grossly
misrepresented, is acquirin'' a still nice
sense of the proprieties of his exaltedr
Station. The Washington correspondent
of the Hartford limes telegraphs a
ported peculiar scene between the
Chief Magistrate aft-1 tiie Solicitor of Ibe
Treasury, Blutord Wilson, in which the
President mildly hilt firmly remarked,
that “were it not for tile dignity of my
office, I would kick you out of the White
House-" The Solicitor (a man who
seems to lie strangely destitute of that
fine sense of personal and official pro
priety which always characterises tiie
President) went at once to tho Secrets
rv of tiie Treasury—proposing to resign.
Mr. Bristow, who does not sure to see
the long labor of ids own hands conn*
to nauglit, is said to have told the So
licitor just to wait a bit—•till the whisky
trials are ended—ami then he (Wilson)
will have company going with hint when
lie retires. It begins to he painfully
evident that neither Bristow nor Wilson
can hope to get a Presidential certificate
of uhuraoter, nor even a deposition, to
brighten their fuiure paths.—*AWa
Oh! bother ilia Legislature! We
have wasted 100 much good white paper
on it already; and we have a good
ntind nol to publish any more ot its
proceedings. The principal reason why
we have published each full report, was
that we wanted pccplo to know exactly
the Wind ol stuff over which their mon
ey was wasted.— \.aOramje Reporter.
In pursuance ol this laudable determi
nation we slia'l expect the Reporter to
furnish its readers with full copies of all
the acts introduced, lost and passed du
ring the session. Hut it’s hard to tell
which would die first under such regi
men—the Reporter or its readers.
A calculation has been made from data
obtained at the Treasury Department,
which indicates that the total actual con
tmotion ot the currency in the past year
has not been much, it any, under $50,-
000,000.
. It would seem that Bruce, the negro
Senator from Mississippi, has burned his
bridges bshiud him. lie sent a dispatch
to his friends, dated Washington, Feb-|
ruary 10th, in which he says:
“I have this day openly proclaimed my
t opposition to ‘he nomination ol General
Grant. 1 will not support him although
he may he nominated by the convention
at Cincinnati. I will, in a few days, stale
inv views at length in the Senate. I
have no secrets on this subject; have
just made a denouncing the third
'term."

In the Belem* of Wire one George

opposed to that heretofore offered
turainst the prisoner, ad pn s nted a pic]
i ture Vtf prison life that rivals the stonf.
1 0 f ifc'ofese'.'d wonder—tellers. According
Ito him, the Andersonvilie stockade was
I much like a compact city. There were
thirty-three thousand prisoners, tho pen
- ns |nid out in streets, and most ot the
v cations known to urban li v were car
i ried"on within it. There were about
1 one thousand regular dealers, including
bankers, brokets, proviso met chants,
bakers, tailors, snoemakeis, bsrbers,
jewellers, soup-jobbers, gamblers,, *e.,
who kept open shops and olhees, and
ilid a thriving business. At these es
tablishment could be bought, and one ha
the money, all the necessaries ami inafty’
i,l the luxuries of life. Of the one thous
and dealers of nearly all vocations
among the prisoners in the stockade,
five hundred were bakers, and about
half a dozen dealt in in real es'atc, sell
ing sites oil tho main streets to other
prisoners, who wished tooommenc busi
nT-ss. There were many eating-houses,
at w hielt a first rate meal could be got
tor ten dollars in greenbacks, and a
thimbleful of whiskey for three dollars,
lie himself was a flout and provision
dealer, had a well-stocked establishment,
and some days sold a thousand pounds
of flour alone. When he enteted the
prison he had no money at all, but by
selling a portion of his rations each
day accumulated a capital, and left, af
ter a confinement ot only two montlis.
with over five hundred dollars. At one
time during his imprisonment, he said,
lie had five thousand dollars in green
hacds. In addition to the other indus
tries of the place, many of the pnsonors
kept barbershops, where they dyed the
whiskers of their fellow-captives, acted
as doctors, and sold medicines., 'ihu
financial basis of all this iri.ttic was
about ha fa million ddllars in green
backs, which was field by about, one
four tb of the prisoners. They had
among themselves regular judicial and
police organizations, and at one time
the disorderly ehalracterfi among them,
who bad been found guilty by ajuty of
their felloweaptives, were hung. lie
himself acted as magistrate, lie said
that there were titty wells &nd lour

Putnam comity continues to find cen
tennial relics. W. W. Turner shdws the
last, in the shape of a curious
case, the history of which, says the
Eatonton Messenger, is a little singular.
Before the Revolutionary war the great
grandfather of William Turner, Joseph
Turner, then residing in Virginia, bad a
neighbor who was a Royalist, or Tory.
Seeing trouble at hand, this neighbor
on me to Mr. Turner and said : “Joe, I
am going home till this little fuss is
over, and I want you to take care of my
liquor case till 1 oome hack." Accord
ingly. he sailed tor England, but the
little fuss not turning out exactly as he
expected, he never retutned. After the
waf was over, Mr. Turner emigrated to
Georgia with his son, who was also
named Jfoftdph. The chest of bottles
has been handed down from father to
son till it reached the hands of its pres
ent owner.
Griffin AWs: Sonid Months since
we made notice that Kelly, of Newton
county, the murderer of Dr Itardenian
had escaped from the coal mines and
was at large defying the authorities. A
tew days ago it was rtepoued that he was
in Butts cdunty with some other parties
who swore they would not he arrested.
Certain gentlemen from this city went
down to see it they could not “bring him
to taw,” and meu never worked more
vigorously, They laid out hi the cold,
stood in the rain and mud, and at last
got on trail of the party looked for.
They thought they had him, but being
inonuted on a fleet horse he managed to
escape, but not until seven Sho's had
l>eeu fired at him. Some of the party
are still on his trail, and a dispatch just
received shows that they have been
shooting at each other and that Kelly is
wounded. Messrs. Bob Connell, John
H ghtower, Taylor Mori is and Branch
Bowdoin are on his trail. Escape with
such men after him is impossible. ,
