The Democratic Principles of
Government. •
Charles O’Conor publishes in the New
York World a brochure on the Democrat
ic principle of government and the means
for preserving it in practice. Tho Nash
ville Union and Amrriean says the entire
paper merits perusal by every student of
politics and every intelligent voter. For
the present, we must content ourselves
with an epitome of its leading proposi
tions. Government, he says, should be
unseen and nnfelt, as far as may be. It
should be entrusted with the least possi
ble power, and obliged to perform the
fewest possible duties. All taxation
should be direct. Trade should be ab
solutely free. The custom houses should
be sold and their proceeds used to pay
off the national debt. No further debt
should be created in any shape or form.
The only income should be from taxes.
Government should have nothing to do
with money beyond stamping upon spe
cie the signs of the value of each particu
lar coin. General laws should be passed
for all business matters; for the forma
tion of private and public corporations,
etc., and there should be no private
legislation whatever. We should have
no armies, navies, forts, arsenals, mili
tary schools, etc. Our diplomatic corps
sbould be abolished. Voting t honld be
vita voce, not by ballot. Minority rep
resentations should not exist. There
should be uo laws regulating the honrs
of labor and no public schools. Only a
few officials should be elected, "say the
Chief Executive and the Legislature.’
Their terms should be short. Appointed
officials sbould be removed only for fault
or incapacity. "Fuitbful service and
proved capacity are singular grounds of
disqualification.” A military command
er should be ineligible to the Presidency
until after a long interval. Iu densely
peopled districts, registry laws should be
in force. No person receiving pay from
the public shonld be allowed to vote.—
The crime of assessing office holders to
pay the expense of political campaigns
shonld be severely punished.
A DAMNING AFFAIR. > LOYDHOLSEHBAXE MATTER.
Tilton vs Beeches.—Jury Discharg
ed—couldn't agree—Nine fob Acquit
tal, Three fob Conviction.—On Fri
day morning at 11 o’clock the jury came
into Court, which was densely crowded,
and stated they were unable to agree,
when they were discharged. The jury
stood nine for acquittal and three for con
viction.
A Left-Handed Civil Rights Case.
Henry Smith, a colored boarding-house
keeper, in Washington, D. C., was re
cently arrested on complaint of a white
man, who charges that, having engaged
a room in Smith’s honse, he was ejected
therefrom on account of his color, in
lation af the Fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution.
The Schiller.—The Court of inquiry
report that a culpable neglect to nse the
lea J,|when approaching the English coast
caused the loss of the Schiller steamship.
The opiuion is given that had the lead
been used at 8 or even 9 o’clock, on the
night of tho disaster before the steamer’s
course was altered the error in the reck
oning would have been discovered.
J&T'Tbe Atlanta Constitutionalist of
the 4th inst. says that Col. Jack Brown
still in Washington. He brought charges
agonist Col. Farrow and Col. Furrow
brought charges against him. It is yet
uuoertain whether Jack will get the col-
lectorahip. Should he fail, W. H. Me
Whorter will iu all probability be the
man. Farrow, Brown and McWhorter,
a nice kettle of fish, isn't it ?
Then and Now.—The Constitutional
ist says daring the war Mrs. Lincoln re
fused to see a sister of hers who was
the Confederate aide, saying, "I would
not let any one who was an enemy of my
my country cross my threshold.” That
sister, if alive, would probably be {wel
comed by the poor woman who has gone
from the White Honse to an insane osy-
ylam.
tOrW. Bronson, tax receiver of Hous
ton county, has received a letter from
Comptroller General Goldsmith, in reply
to an inquiry, in which be says that cot
ton held on the first day of April is tax
able, and most be returned to tho receiv
er as other personal property, in the
connty where the owner resides. The
fact of being stored in another connty
does not relievo the owner from return
ing it and paying the tax on it.
Southern Congressmen.—In a recent
conversation Senator Hanson, of North
Carolina, said that he has conversed with
a number of those gentlemen elected to
the next Congress from Southern States
who were officers in the Confederate army
aud is led to believe tbat they will be
more conservative in speech and national
in their actions on the floor of Congress
than very many Northern Democrats who
will be members of tbat body. The Now
York Times Washington correspondent it
authority for this statement. The Sen
ator says they are determined to avoid
everything that might be constmcd
sectionalism, and will strive to discharge
their public duties iu such manner as will
command the respect and confidence of
the people of tho entire country. The
Senator believes that those who expect to
Confederates moving to undo
the results accomplished by the war, ad
vocating payment of debts incured by the
late rebelious States, or any other follies
frequently alluded to iu this connec
tion will be egregiously disappointed. He
says some of the more prominent of this
class express the belief that they will find
more difficnlty in curbing some of the
Northern Democrats than in disciplining
their own number. They will, he thinks,
prefer to follow Gordon and Lamar rath-
than hot-heads like John Young
Brown. _
Dsj-Tho annual report of the Augusta
factory,showing the conditioned the mill
down to the 20th nit., is before us. Tho
profits for the past six mouths were $56,
or nearly ten per cent, on the capital
stock of 8600.000. Daring these
months tho factory produced 6,727,547
yards of manufactured goods, or 6.3S0
bales. Tho amount of cotton consumed
4,281 bales of 457 lbs. each. The
average cost of this cotton was 14.94 cents

President Jackson says in conclusion ;
We are now in a condition, I think, to
take our style of goods as good and as
low as they can be produced iu this coun
try; the quantity produced aud cost of
production, to all who are familiar with
the manufacture of cotton, will be evi

I From the Atlanta Commonwealth ]
The tragic death of Judge Fish, who
was brutally assassinated at his home in
Oglethorpe some three years ago, is still
fresh in tfle memories of manr of our
readers. They also remember the more
terrible fste that followed quick upon the
heels of Holsenbsko and Lloyd, who
were condemned aud executed f.
murder.
Judge Fish, it is also known, was a
Republican of prominence, standing high
in the confidence of the party, and bid
ding fair to be its most popular and able
leader in the State. His death then,
aside from the moral shock to all good
people was a peculiar calamity to the par-
ty/aod to avenge it, Governor Bullock
offered a reward of six thousand dollars
for the arrest and conviction of the
der r«. This tempting reward natnrally
euuugh excited the cupidity of detectives,
and under the direction of* the Solicitor-
General, a party set to work to "work the
case up.” How well they worked it up,
is nlso well remembered. Suspicion be
ing di.toted toward Holseubako and
Ll'jd, they were arrested and placed
iu a room, in which the detectives were
concealed, and while there we re said to
have confessed to each other joint«
plicity in the murder. Upon this
deuce the wretches were condemned and
executed.
But while standing on the gallows with
tho tetrors of death staring them it
face, and the solemnity of its awfnl
rnent resting on their souls, they both de
nied the truth of the detective’s story.—
Holsenbake confessing himself to the kill
ing of Judge Fish, and Lloyd protesting
his own innocence. The following s
Holsenbake’s words:
Fellow-< itizens, we are met here on
most solemn occasion—met here to take
my life. I entreat your prayer,
your fervent prayers in my behalf. The
fervent prayer of the righteons availeth
much, and in praying for me you may
convert your own sonls. I appear before
you as a criminal about to suffer an igno
minious death, but I can sincerely say
that at heart I am no criminal. I am
about to be unjustly executed. I have
failed to obtain justice in tho courts of
law. The laws have been illegally or un
justly executed. I do not speak os a law
yer, bat so it seems to me. I am arraigned
ncipal for the crime of murd
n who has long since gone *
that bourne from whence no traveler
turns. ” I trust God has been merciful
to him. I am the man \c7io took his life.
I did it when under great irritation ; I
had lost my reason ; I was a monoma
niac ; I bad nothing against Colonel Fish,
but I had heard he had desecrated the
dearest affections of my heart, tint he
had violated my household ties and sul
lied the reputation of my little daughter,
wh<*, thank God, has been for months in-
HeaveD, and I trust I shall be speedily
with her. I do not feel as though I was
tho author of this crime. Everything I
have stated concerning my accomplice
has been honestly and truthfully stated.
I have been betrayed by wolves in sheep’!
clothing.
He then gave the particulars of his
confession to Col. P. H. Farrow, late At
torney General of the State ; stated how
it was obtained, and said of Mr. Farrow :
I tell you fellow-citizens, bo stands be
fore Ood and this community a degraded
and disgraced mortal. I have nothing
against him, he has not only forfeited his
word, but sacrificed his honor ; and more
still lie is a convicted perjurer, and the
court records will prove it. There is
here to-day standing before me an honor
able and high-minded gentleman, one
who was engaged in my defense—Cal.
W. S. Wallace. I refer to him ; he
koows what I say is true. I wish to God
(passionately) I know how to talk, hut
my language is inadequate to tell of tho
murderous outrago that has beau perpe
trated against me. I was deranged , the
separation of my family from me was my
rain. [Pause.]- The injuries I sustained
in that connection caused me to lose my
reason, [Pause.] My life will pay the
forfeit—I am execated wrongly—I have
failed to obtain justice; it has all been
done through prejudice; they have suf
fered their prejudices to be aroused.”
He thanked and complemented tho
prison officials tbat had charge of him,
and closed by saying he left the world
without bearing malice against any man,
and he hoped no one had a prejudice
against him. If there was he did not
know it.
And this is tho report of what Lloyd
said :
He was in his 62.1 year; had never had
a difficulty; never had been arrested; nev
er paid a fine or c »st. Hid lived an hon
orable and useful life Had never him
self, or in collusion with others, enter
tained one iota of criminal feeling nga : nst
He declared that Jones, Farrow and
the detective had batched the matter up.
"I swear,’’ said he, "that before you and
my God, before whom I shall soon ap
pear, I am innocent If I had dreamed
of 6uch a thing, I would not have allowed
it” He said his death was a conspiracy,
and W. G. Jones was at the bottom of it,
his blood would cry for vengeance; and
conclnded: I put my blood on him
(Jones) for three generations, and call
on God to witness it Jones got Stubbs
out and exerted himself to convict me.
I want all of Mr. Fish’s family to know
it I am innocent.”
These protestations of inn'*»o.i<v*. com
ing as th<»r - v ’ f :i v. v ups of
' 1% ” •• ’ L«: li-.uJa of those who
i-iril aud read them, many doubts of the
man’s guilt and a nameless suspicion that
a font conspiracy had been mode to
sweep away the lifo of an innocent man,
in order to obtain tho reward. This bus
picion grew in the minds of some until
it became so tangible that they deter
mined to ferret the thing to tho bottom,
and when it became known that one of
the parties, now holding high rank in
the United States civil services, had been
awarded two thousand dollars of the
blood money, the elew was so direct that
they had no further doubt about it, nod
went to work directly at the root of the
matter. One of the detectives was con
fronted, and, while the dying words of
Lloyd was read, he confes-ed that it was
true, and that they had "put up a job”
in order to get the reward. Shortly after
this, this detective was kiiled, and his
lips were closed forever. Now his widow
has been seen, and she reluctantly con
fessed that her husband, while in the
agony of remorse, had confessed to her
that he had been a party in swearing
away the life of Lloyd, and that it was
all done to get the money.
The facts of the case have been ioge-
nionsly worked np, and the testimony in
the case has been forwarded to Washing
ton, to be laid before the department of
jnstice, as its matter materially affects the
character of one of its officials.
We trnst that tho matter may be fully
Investigated, not only by the deputies at
Washington, bnt onr own State authori
ties shonld take cognizance of it, and let
the parties to this most damnable of con
spiracies be bronght to judgment. Those
who have it in charge are men of nerve
and determination, and tho public shonld
offer them the hearty support of ap
proval.
IL. Z. n. HABUBOVE WILL HAVE SOME
THING TO SAT ABOUT THE MATTER.
[Atlanta Herald.]
We publish below on extract from GoL
Henry P. Farrow’s card relating to the
e:
’Some one, and I know not who, in
some way commuDicted to the authorities
at Washington that Col. Jack Brown
had two years ago offered me, as United
States Attorney, a bribe of three thou
sand dollars to stop the persecution of

Macon riot two or three years ago, and
the authorities [called l upon me for tho
facts.and I gave tho facts. I could not do

sponsibility for the facts is upon him, and
not upon me. This caused a delay in
the issuing of his commission os]collect
or of the Fourth District of Georgia, aud
I do not know whether he will be or
He and his friends now"charge me with
making that known at Washington, and
their chargo is false, though I never did
keep it a secret. Hi? underwriters who
expect office under him, the chief of
whom is Chap Norris, have set to work
to manufacture something against me by
which to weaken tho force of the charges
against him at Washington, and their
slander against mo is their production for
that purpose.
I am informed that Chap Norris, and
fellow by the name of Dorsey or Dorset,
called a few days ago to see Mrs. Has-
berry, and that a fellow by the name of
Bray was with them, and stopped near
by. This fellow Norris, whose charater
is well konwn in Georgia, and his con
federates, differ widely from Mrs. lias-
berry os to the conversation they had,
and considering that Norris has been
successfully imoeached iu this city, Ihe
community will soon decide who has
told the troth.
To injure me, they have put words in
to Basberry’s mouth which he did not
utter. This they felt they could safely
do, as be is in the grave and cannot speak.
In doing so, they have sunk themselves
beneath the hyena that would burrow in
to a grave to eat a dead body. Their
publication is a tissue of falsehoods man
ufactured for a purpose, and that pur
pose is to save Jack Brown from existing
troubles ; but, fortunately they will have
to break down more than one man to
overcome the facts os they occured in Sa
vannah two years ago.
As to the Holsenbake and Loyd case,
Hon. Phil. Cook, now member of Con
gress, Hon. Sam Hall, of Macon, Col.
Wm. Robinson, of Oglethorpe, and CoL
Wiilis A. ilawkius of Americas, all of
whom were attorneys on the side of the
proecutiou of Holsenbake and Loyd, are
perfectly familiar with every step taken
in the prosecution of those men for the
murder of Judge Fisb, and will vindicate
me against the charge of being false to
any promise to either of them. These
gentlemen all live m u distant portion o!
the State from me, and all my political
opponents, but as gentlemen they will do
me justice, should it become necessary to
protect me against bass slanders coDcoct-
ed by nnprincipled rconndrels ot my po
litical party.
As for their charge that I received 82,
000 from Messrs. Murphy & Rasberry in
that case, it is false. And though Mr.
Rasberry has been dead about three years
and cannot speak, Mr. Mnrphy is still liv
ing and I refer to him. I have not seen
him in many months, but I suppose he is
still in the city. Ho and Rasberry, and
their operations as detectives extended
over the entire country from New York
to New Orleans. They had their corres
pondents and agents iu every city almost
in the United States. They were enter
prising and successful in their business.
They needed an attorney, and from the
time they went into business up to the
death of Mr. Rasberry I wostbeii lawyer.
They paid me reasonable compensation,
bnt all they paid mo during the two or
three yeare that I was their attorney, fell
far short of 82,000. The law has been my
profession since entering life, and I have
always been professional in my conduct.
