The Weekly Democrat. PUBLISH KD-EVJBR* THURSD A Y B. R- RUSSELL I R- M JOHHSTON, Editors. JiAtHBRiiKiK, January 2.7th 187.6. . *i$lE GOVERN ORSHIP- Tim country press is still tickling tlie vanity ®! Tom, bick v .Hasry & Co > by anniwinciu'j? theif several itrdlvi<Jn.‘il names as the very one for Governor. We don t ehjaet to-i^ Tfc<ise announcements only put uic people to thinking, and the more they tlie more tlieyare satisfied with tlie afiminWratlon °f Governor Smith. Tjiw exti^fent Executive does not admin ister^ office like, a Democrat, but like « Georjfog. Yven-hanied justice is promi nent ah every. portion of/his record, and a leading trait in his official career has been to serve the best interests of the State, no ma|4#r. how much enmity lie might Lhcue.from. tlie hundreds of influential disappointed aspirants for office in his own political party. . Mr. ,£jrath is the strongest man in Georgia to-day with the masses, and if agaip $paudiUatc, he will poll the lar gest vote on record in the State. He will be voted for by all parties. There is among the many facts in. favor of Mr. SuAth, this very significant one : All thepdpehs that oppose him with any degree of earnestness, attempt to shield old Sack Jones, the defaulting State Treaairec,,cven though that worthy has made way with some $300,000 of tlie tax payertf money. The-New York World. says Mr. Blaine is terribly inconsistent, for, pine years ago lie appeared in the House as the special champion of a universal amnesty, includ ing, pf; course Jefferson Davis. The WifrWiurtlier says that on that occasion Mt..;,BUuic, of Maine, voted side by side with Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, for an amejidiocnt intended, to secure “universal amnesty .and .universal Andy-Johnson- isr»". In other words, on the 13th of February, 18(57. Mr. Blaine, of Maine, in the opinion of Thud Stevens, put himself on the record in favor of the election of Jefferson Davis to the Presidency of the United'States. If not, why not ? If uni- veiirtamuesty offered by Mr. Randall in IffHlimeans, as- some of the hackers of. of MtBlaino now prctei d to believe it doeSi|l»e election of Jefferson Davis to tliA Presidency, what else could universal amdesty •'mean when offered by Mr. Blaine and supported by Mr. Randall in 1867? The young editor of the Talboton SOwdard hays; “We here give notice that we w ill from this time out w ield our vokreamlpen in decrying the extrava gance and wholesale plundering that is daily going on in the State of Georgia.* We take the trouble to remind this yonthfnl seeker after notoriety, that wc should not, in our attempts to elevate our selves, lose sight of safety. It is very easy to stand on another man’s shoulders anfl look over the heads of those around us, but our footing, in that elevated posi tion, will'be much less secure than on the grdnnd. ’ Have a care, young man. Probably the most important bill that will be brought before the Legislature this session was foreshadowed by a reso lution sent ta the Clerk’s desk by Mr. Balter, of Bartow. This resolution proposes a joint Committee for the purpose of determining whether or not the lessees of the State Road have violated the terms of their lease. This resolution will be followed by a bill to sell the road, outright to the highest bid der. The New York World very wisely urges that the record on amnesty should remain as it is, and says let the responsi bility of having killed the bill lie with the Republicans. Let it be assumed that they begin the Centennial year with the refusal to-grant amnesty and leave the record in th4t shape. Amnesty is a nutter of grace and mercy, and it loses nearly all of its value when passed as a mere party meas ure or carried by a beggarly majority of vdtes. _ A man in Charleston, S. C., has sued a lawyer engaged by him for damages, clfiiping that the bad grammar of the legal gentleman disgusted the jury and lost him his suit. No doubt tlie whole cojuntry is interested in this case, to the extent of seeing if the action will hold good. ‘Augustus Schell, Chairman of the National Democratic Executive Com mittee, has called a meeting of that com mittee in Washington on February 32, to n^nc the time and place for holding the next National Democratic Convention. The Macon Telegraph, one of the most -cautions and prudent papers in the State, says:. “We pity the Georgian whose hfead dots not approve, and whose heart dies not beat responsive to the noble speech of Georgia’s great representative in Congress, the Hon. B. H. Hitt” Senator Morton gets five thousand dol lan a year for telling lies on the Southern people. About as near as we can estimate, that is twenty cents a dozen for lies it is now said that Bishop Haven claims lb be a son of the South. Well, we sup pose he las a right to tell of it,but certain, ly tbe South never will Th *kk».~—Hon. W. E. Smith, our worthy aaid able Representative, will accept our thaaks for the favor of the Congresioual Re cord, which be is so kind as to send us daily. - Edwin Booth, the greatest of all American acton, will be in Savannah one week, com guvncing February 7th. GEORGIA—THE MOST EXTRAV AGANT AND WASTEFUL STATE GOVERNMENT IN EUROPE OR AMERICA ” We are-now ready to assert, without tlie fear of successful contradiction, that the Government, to-day, not only retains tlie whole of Bullock’s extravagances, leaving out his stealings, but there have been nu merous additions, until we have in Georgia the most wasteful and extravagant State Gov ernment in Europe or America.—Talbotton Standard The above startling announcement from our Talbotton contemporary falls npon us like a clap of thunder from a cloudless sky. The pditor of the Standard makes the assertion “without the fear of success ful contradiction. ” Now if he is correct we call for the proofs,—for an exhibit of this “most wasteful and. extravagant State Government,” and if the editor can sustain his assertain by fads, we shall be among the first to acknowledge that we have been afflicted with a blindness in relation to tbe true condition of State affairs but little less startling than the declaration copied above. The Standard charges that the Govern ment 4 ‘not only retains the whole of Bul lock’s extravagances, leaving out his stealings, but there have been numerous additions.” Now, until Mr. Mumford presents his incontrovertible facts and figures, we shall take the liberty of differ ing with him. Let us now note some of Bulioeks extravagances that the present State Government does not retain. Under Smith the public printing is done for less than $20,000. Will the Standard man turn to the record and see how much more it was under Bullock. He will be astonish ed. Under Bullock hundreds of thous ands of dollars of the people’s money were paid to a portion of the press of tbe State for advertising the multiplicity of proclamations issued by His Excellency. This extravagance Smith’s administration does not retain. While the present Gov ernment has more clerks than there is any necesssity for it does not retain the half of what Bullock bad, nor is the pay half as remunerative to each clerk—hence there is an annual savieg to the State of mauy thousands of dollars, Bullocks administration was exh orbi. tan fly extravagant in the way of subsidies to Railroads, which cost the tax payers an incredible sum, and piled up a State debt of millions of dollars. The present Government retains none of this extrava gance, but actually has refused to grant aid to railroads under any circumstances. As to the “numerous additions,’* referred to by the Standard we can think of none at present save the State Department of Agriculture, the Board of Hea.th, and tbe State Geologist. If these additions be extravagances, we are certain the tax payers will not grumble at them—the whole of which costs infinitely less than the one item of proclamation advertising under Bullock. The sweeping charge that Georgia is “the most wasteful and ex travagant State Government in Europe or America,” must have been penned in moment of mental aberration by the editor of the Standard. Surely he does not place his own native State in the governmental scale below the - carpet-bag-ridden States of South Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, and Mississippi; or the rotten govern ments of Mexico, Central and South America, to say nothing of misgoverned European countries—yet he is ready to assert the same “without fear of success ful contradiction.” We admit there are many expenses of the Georgia government that ought to be cut down. Instead of $7 per day, the members of the Legislature should have $3, and all other salaries correspondingly reduced. And “Honest Jack Jones,” of whom the Standard is the. apologist and champion, should be made to replace the $§00,000 that leaked ’ out of the State Treasury under his managemeut, or go to the Penitentiary. Without any more comparisons, we await anxiously the at tempt of Brother Mumford to substantiate his assertions by facts and figures. In conclusion, we must say that we have taken hold of this subject, not as Democrat, but as a citizen of Georgia— and in that capacity we expect to contend for the rigb^ of the people. We want rogues, thieves, defaulters, and all others who cannot account satisfactorily for the people’s money in their hands, be they white or black, Radical or Democrat, brought before the bar of swift Justice and punished for their crimes. And if, by facts, it can be shown that our present State administration is inimical to her in terests, we wil be among the first to sound the alarm. i Geor- 0UR ADVERTISERS Next and last is Bain bridge, situated at the terminus of the railroad, immediately on the basks of the Flint River—-a boid. stream, navigable at all seasons for steamers- This town being in a limestons region, the peo ple depend entirely for drinking water upon cisterns. The well water as unfit, for drink ing, on. account of tbe lime impregnation. It is a very pretty town, of some 1800 inhabi tants and ornamented by the most beautiful oak trees, which afford excellent shade dur ing the heat of summer. The people are said to be unsurpassed for-hospitality. Some three years since this beautiful little town was visited by yellow fever, a very malig nant and fatal type,, which destroyed many of its most valuable and beloved citizens. It is said to have proved fatal in nearly every instance. She has rallied, however, from this shook and looks as blooming as if no blighting pestilence had ever swept over her. It is to be hoped that in future no such com bination of local causes as those which pro duced the first, wilt ever be present to gen erate a second pestilence: The foregoing is an extract from a pub lishedletter, written by a resident of Th«m- asville, to an inquirer after lands, in-one of the Northern or Western States It were bardly necessary, however, to tell our readers from what source such a letter emanated. It has become such n common thing for Tbomasville to advertise sup posed defects in Bainbridge that our peo ple have become accustomed to it; and, notwithstanding these generous (?) corres pondents and editors usually sugar-coat their productions with stereotyped and worn out compliments, it is easy to per ceive their real meaning. Why this'tiling should be so, we know not, but so it is. For instance, while we know that the yel low fever visited our town several years ago and robbed us of some of our best cit izens, why is it that our neighbors should be continually advertising the fact by say ing “she has rallied and looks as bloom ing as if no pestilence bad ever swept over her,” Ac., <fce. Now, wfien it is re membered that this fever happened nearly three years ago, and is extremely likely never to occur again, why should it be made a point to speak of it on. every occa sion ? He must be a stupid mind indeed who does not recognize that such refer ences are injurious to us, while they pro mote good to no one, not even those who seek to benefit themselves by such-inge nius but unfair means. And why, we further ask, is it that Tbomasville corres pondents and Tbomasville newspapers are the only ones that do speak of it ? Is this not significant ? We hate to even breathe what we conjecture to be the cause of this. As to the foregoing letter in question, we do not refer in particular to what it says, for such reference would not be nec essary to serve tlie purpose of this para graph. Our people can readily detect its inaccuracies for themselves, knowing that there is as milch truth in its assertion that the well water here is unfit to drink as in the remark that there are im mos quitoes in Tlumasville. We have penned the above remarks in no spirit of malice or revenge, but submit that we have remained silent under such ungenerous dealing as long as we ought, and indeed longer than any fair-minded person could expect. “Specks,” the Washington correspond-, cut of the Atlanta Herald-, thus al,ude8 ° out immediate Representative, an a he has introduced in Congress : “Mr. Smith, of Georgiy who, by the bye, is one of the most careful and trus of your members, has introduced a i intended to give relief to those portions of the country suffering for a want 0 - ficient currency. The hill is simp e, u if enacted into a law would certainly give relief, by allowing an issue of local cur rency that would serve as a circulating medium in the particular localities intend ed to be affected. His bill is as follows . “That so much of the statue law of the United States as impose on national banks, State banks, bankers, or asssociations, a tax of ten> per centum on notes of persons. State banks, banking associations, towns, cities, or ^municipal corporations, issued tor circulation, or paid out by them, be and the same is hereby repealed. The special correspondent of the Savan nah Retcs says that it is doubtful if the present session of the Legislature is ashort one. Over three hundred bills have already been introduced, and less than fifty; perhaps have been disposed of. While but few expended debates have oc— cured, much time has been occupied in the reading af voluminous bills and in the diseussion of a thousand unimportant points. The daily sessions commence at 10 o’clock and close at 1 o’clock, which gives but three hours a day for working purposes* and nearly one ho.ur of time is usually occupied with minor and trifling matters. There is much hard and impor tant work ye, to be entered upon, and I predict that the session will be extended to about the constitutional forty days. The LaGrange Reporter says : “There is at least one paper in Georgia which fears that Ben Hill did harm to the South by his speech. We suppose that paper t wants the Southern people to remain per petually on their knees, and cringe in silence, like whippped spaniels, while they are abased and insulted by every scurvey politician who liyes on the other side of the line.” NIGHT TRAFFIC A bill has been inttoduoed in gia ling, products between the hours of sun’ and sun rise. The Atlanta Herald re marks -. This bill, as it now stands, only applies to certain counties therein named. It is, however, of very general importance and affects every farmer and producer throughout the State. The buying and trafficking with negroes for cotton, rice, and other products after nightfall, has been the cause of serious loss to the farm er and producer . It encourages stealing by the negroes, and is a sure means to shield unprincipled white men who, throughout the State, make it their husi- ness to encouaage this kind of traffic. The bill should be made to apply to every county in the State, and a severe penalty enacted for the violation of any of the pro visions of the act. We arc glad to seethe subject of larceny from the field, agitated in the Senate, some law making the buy ers accessory before m after the fact, with a like punishment as the larceny should be made, and is the only means of salva tion for the fanner, and one by which he can, in a manner, be secured from the wholesale depredations which we are al- mos^ daily called upon to chronicle. EDITORIAL PITH- The colored Republicans of Washington have decided to go in for a “third term.” No douht Mr. Grant has heen whispering “forty aeres and a mule” to them. We know that times are hard, and so does everybody else, then why not knock down every croaker who says, as soon as he meets you, “times are mighty hard ?” Now we hear of another defalcation in Early County. It is passing strange, when soapi is so cheap, in quantities to suit purchasers, and water plentiful, how many filthy handed officials there are in the country. The young editor of the Talbotton Standard boldly'feays : “The bark of a small dog often “sets on” the big dog. Onr barking then, may have this happy effect, if no other.” It is generally known, too, that small dogs very often bark when there is nothing to bark at. The New York World thinks the amnes ty debate has increased Gen. Grant’s chances for a renomination. If it lies between Grant and Blaine, we, for one, infinitely prefer the former. The war clouds between the United Btates and Spain are growing larger, so the .papers say, but we are not at all ap prehensive. Old Tunis Campbell has at Jast gone to the Penitentiary. Please accept thethanks of the public, dear Judge Tompkins. The Pennsylvania Republicans have decided to support the Maine hyena for President. The Virginia Legislature hasj against the Centennial appro; Qua of the effects of the , A blH has been in ‘{gf* Senate allowing prove the rightfulness of his claim the State in the Courts. The office of the Mobile Register— Hon. John Forsyth’s paper—has heen burned. The wife of ex-President Andrew John son died in Greenville last week. Grant has begun to squirm, since the bill to reduce his salary to 25,000 was intro- ced in the House. Gen. Banks, of Massachusetts, delivered a very conciliatory and Statesman-like speech on the amnesty question, and it not being received by the Radical party is proof positive that they don’t want na tional harmony. ' New York Sun: If there is no danger and no apprehension of war, why is it that Secor Robeson is spending so much' haste in getting monitors ready for sea ? We are told that fourteen of these vessels will be in condition for actual service be fore the end of the month. These moni tors nave nearly all been laid tip for years. They are useless for any other purpose than fighting, and to put them all in com- mision implies great expense. Unless there is expectation or dread of war, Se cor Robeson is wantonly wasting the pub lic money. A meeting of tbe State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee is called at Atlanta on Wednesday, the 26th day of January, 1875, to designate a member of the National Committee, and for other busi ness. The Democrats of Florida hold a Con vention at Quincy, on the 21st of June, to nominate candidates for Governor and State officers. From all indications, the chances for a Democratic victory are better than they have been since the war in tnat State, God grant these poor suffering people may be delivered. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
