THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
As we are un bio to publish the
President’s met■.•■•ago, we give the fol
lowing commenls, from an exchange ;
“On the financial qnesti >ti, llie dis
cussion <>f whioli was expected to be
11 10 leading feature of the message,
while t!io President adheres general
ly to his h.nner Cows of bringing the
currency up to a specie basis imme
diately, if not sooner, he advances no
new ideas in support of that policy
that are calculated to enlighten the
pub ic';, regard to its feasibility. On
this subject the message will not meet
the expectations of the contraction
ists.
“The message has nothing to say on
the subject of the grand internal im
provement-scheme which it. was given
out from Washington would be re
commended ns a means of giving
employment to labor and setting mo*
ney in circulation in the country. If
the President really contemplated
such a profligate policy, the very
strong opposition to it manifested by
the Northern press of all parties Inis
deterred him from proposing it.
“Southern affairs are treated very
much in the old Radical way. In re
gard to the Louisiana usurpation the
President not only uses his old ar
gument of justification —his duty to
execute the laws, which he declares
to be authorized by the amendments
—but he declares it to be his firm
conviction that ‘the present State offi
cers (Kellogg, of course included,)
received a majority of the legal votes
cast at the election.’ This virtual de
cision of the cam does not bear up
the argument of his apologists, Mr.
Stephens among the rest, who main
tain that Grant did not assume to de
cide who was the rightful Gov. rnor
of Louisiana, confining himself sim
ply to his duty of enforcing the de
cision of the court.
“O.i the subject of Southern out
rages the President is singularly lame
afid inconsistent. After a general
endorsement of the fabrications of
Landaulet Williams’ slander mill, as
serting that there existed a geneial
determination at the South, ‘by acts
of violence and intimidation to de
prive citizens of the freedom of the
ballot, because of their political opin
ions,’ and that ‘murders enough were
committed to spread terror among
those whose political opinions were
to be suppressed,’ lie takes occasion
to say that these things have been
somewhat, exaggerated, and recom
mends nn investigation by Congress.
“It is not too much to say that
General Grant is the least informed
public man in the country, if lie does
not know that the raw-head-and
bloody bones stories which lie lias en
dorsed are not exagefations at nil,
but simply lies from the whole cloth,
concocted in the office of his Attorney
General last summer while he was
having a good time sloshing round
the country.
"It is evident that General Grant
is sick of even the pretence of civil
service reform, and longs to return to
tile old fruitful days of official free
dom,, when he could place a brother
in-law', or an aunt, or a third cousin
in office with not eten a figurative
board to say him nay. We shall look
with interest to see what that national
representative of flapdoodleism, Geo.
William Curtis, will say to this por
tion of the President’s message. For
the rest, it may to assume that
Giant has not met the expectations
cf his own party. This message was
looked forward to as the key-note to
anew departure in Republican policy
as well as morals, but there is noth
ing to indicate that the President
cares whether his party meets the
emergency of 187 G in fighting trim or
not—and we are certain we do not.
fa®-Ex-Mayor Havemeyer, of New
York, fell dead in his office, the other
day, at the age of seventy-odd.
®SS“The whites and blacks are still
fighting at Vicksburg. The people
are having a hard time of in poor
Mississipi.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA-
Frank Evans of the Alapalm Fores
h r, is now-going it alone, Hanlon hav
ing retired from that paper. Frank
has sold his gravy dish and done gone
and broke np housekeeping. How
rash these young editors arc.
The Monroe A<l Her/i-rr is pitching
nfo “Little Aleck” with gloves off b:>
cause lit l went to Washington ad
told Grant how much lie loved him.
The average Georgian now in Texas
writes home timsly: “If I can make
enough to get, back on you can look
for me soon.” Georgians should take
warning and stay where they are.
And now the startling news comes
that Gorman—he of Yurup—was in
Albany the other daj\ He hasn't
been over to Europe, however, this
week.
Two policemen of Augusta wire
wrestling the other day when one
was thrown to the ground and killed.
The man that did the throwing was
drunk but did not intend to hurt
then man that was killed.
The Jesup Georgian thinks this is a
a good old time for a ’posom and coon
hunt, We shouldn’t be surprised,
brother.
The Atlanta News has been inter
viewing H. I. Kimball, who recently
went back to Atlanta to live.
Governor Smith addressed the col
ored emigrant, convention in Atlanta,
the other day. He advised the color
ed people of Georgia to quit loafing
around the street corners, and go to
work. If the colored people through
out the State would only take the
advice of Governor Smith they would
certainly be a great deal better off.
It seems that everybody is pitching
into the Central Railroad, just about
now.
Lewis Strickland, colored, was
hanged at Gainesville, Franklin coun
ty, on last Friday. He was convicted
at the Fall term of the Superior Court
of the murder'of one Mr. Dickson,
near Tocoa City, some months ago.
Air. S. 11. Craig, of Henry county,
died in the guard-house at Hampton
on Monday evening. He was intoxi
cated, and was put in the lock-up by
the marshal about eleven o’clock, and
on going at four o’clock to take him
out, found him dead.
The Atlanta News says: Several
loads of emigrants arrived in the city
on the Georgia railroad yesterday, en
route for Texas. There were several
parties with families. They had the
appearance of being farmers, and
were a very respectable looking party.
The Atlanta Constitution says: We
learn from Col. W. W. Clark, one of
the directors of the Georgia railroad,
that the lots fora new town \\i 11 soon
bo run off at New’s Station, on the
Georgia railroad, ten miles from At
lanta, and the centre of DeKalk coun
ty. The town is to be laid off at
right angles and with wide streets.
As soon as laid off, and the native
growth trimmed up, the sale will ttike
place. Already a number of influen
tial citizens of Augusta have an
nounced their intention of purchasing
lots and building residences there.
As it is to boa temperance town, we
suggest that it be named Hickman, in
honor of the great temperance orator,
Dr. J. J. Hickman. It is predicted
that in less than five years it will have
3,000 inhabitants.
Mr. Kelly Banks, a prominent and
wealthy citizen of Columbus, commit
ted suicide in that place on Saturday
last, by shooting himself through the
head with a pistol, causing immediate
death. Cause not known.
Billy Patterson died in Georgia,
the other day,- and his heirs and as
signs will not carry out that inquiry
concerning the personality of the in
dividual who once struck him. The
blow seems to have been fatal nt last
Four millions of letters are annu
ally sent through the Atlauta post
office, and the sale of stamps amount
to more than $2,000 a month.
Bartow county is being surveyed by
the State Geologist.
A negro boy in Monroe county last
week killed a white boy named An
thony.
Mrs. General Sherman is one of the
contributors to the Catholic fair in
Augusta,
The farmers of Troup county are

Gov. Smith offers a reward of two
