RICHARD H. WHITELEY. Editor
VliarMl*)' Mnrnlni), May lltVplh. 1874
Why Dissatisfaction?
We beer that there are a few RepubU
•mi in the counties of Dougherty and
Clornae who are dissatisfied with Major
Wkiteley. and are casting about for a more
••itabic person for the next Congressional
m
race. We dislike to break with our
friends, and what we may say is more iu
the spirit of kindness than of censure, al
though there are some who deserve to be
•ensured, and that most severely. Many
•f the mean and contemptible tricks of
the demagogue and dishonest politician are
aow being resorted to solely for selfish
purposes and ends. Falsehoods and ntia
l•presentationß are freely circulated against
Maj. Whiteley by those who know better,
aad as soon ajs they are contradicted, an
other batch equally as vile are fabricated
to take their place.
We have yet to learn of a single charge
made against the Major, that canuot be
most successfully refuted. If there is any
•auso of complaint, why not make it td{
him and get the explanation that will most
assuredly follow ? Will the Republicans
of this District be so unwise as to take
from the hands of their trusted leader the
banner be has so long triumphantly and
gloriously borne ? It may be a trivial
matter to some to depose a political lead
er. but the moral effect of such conduct,
when not based on good and sufficient rea
sons, is worse than the severest defeat at
the hands of the opposition. If there is a
Republican in this District who has great
«r claims on the party than Major White
ley, we say, point him out. If there is one
of equal ability and experience, in political
warfare, bring him out. If there is one
who is as available, and who can poll as
large a vote, and who is as extensively
known, and who is as sure to beat the next
race as Major Whiteley. we say, trot him
out—we want to see him.
No ; Major Whiteley is alone In the
District without an equal in experience,
Ability and influence in the Republican
party. And we think it unjust
to him, that those, who, in the past,
have been loudest in their professions of
friendship, should, while he is in Washing
ton discharging his duties, take advantage
of his absence to hold secret caucuses and
select preliminary meetings in hostility to
bis interests. Brave and honest men are
always fair. The closed doors of such
meetings indicate the cowardly spirit that
prompts them.
Major Whiteley asks at the hands of all
only mi Bxtcntlve tteurtng, if,
planation they are not convinced, then
they are at liberty to condemn him ad
libitum.
Social Respectability.
M e present in another column an able
paper addressed “To the people of Geor
gia, written by a gentleman of unblemish
ed Mate and National reputation, and to
the careful perusal of which wo earnestly
invite our readers. As its distinguished
author has wisely said, “it is manifest from
the signs of the times that a party is
•pringing up in this State to keep up-the
issues of the war and these issues they
propose to keep up by appealing to the
passions and prejudices of the people, and
the inculcation of sectional bate and dis
union. 1 his malevolence they deem can
be best engendered by the social ostracism,
taught and approved by Mr. Hill, because
of political preferences and affiliation*.
It will be a sad commentary on our peo
ple when “social respectability” with them
will be denoted not by a man’s character,
but by the political party with which he is
connected. And yet this is the object
that this party ot madmen are endeavoring
to attain.
* ben our hatred is violent, it sinks us
even beneath those we hate and of this
we have a practical illustration in Georgia
to-day. 11l does it become the immaculate
Democrats to prate of “social respectabili
ty,” when, as so clearly shown in the able
communication to which we have above re
ferred, the garments of so many of them
have been soiled, and none of the boasting
sainted crew are above suspicion. If “so
cial respectability’' is to be controlled by
their weights and measures, then brave,
good and honest men must prepare them
selves to become disreputable.
The veto message was taken up in the
Senate Tuesday. On the questiou of pass
ing the bill over the veto, the vote stood
34 ayes and 30 uoes. Two-thirds not vot
ing in the affirmative, the proposition was
defeated. Prior to the vote quite a lemr
thy debate was indulged in, which took a
wide range, embracing among other tkiug?
the St. Domingo matter and the posthu
mous speech of Senator Sumner. There
was considerable feeling manifested, though
a number of prominent Senators evinced a
desire to compromise the pending difficulty
and pass a bill that should harmonize the
various sections. The Finance Committee
are actively engaged on the new bill, which
will soon be submitted.

ed a letter from C. \V. Arnold, P. M. at

8T OKS OE THE PEOPLE.
The signs of the times, and the restless
desire of some of the politicians, who in
the past, ceased to betry you and barter
your honor only when the opportunity fail
ed, to regain your confidence, 6peaks jk
voice that should not be neglected and in
dicates a purpose challenging the strictest
scrutiny. As these bold pretended cham
pions of your interest and your honor seek
to fortify themselves under history which
they create, and with assertions they know
to be untrue, I have thought the occasion
had arrived when the truth should be es
tablished. I shall spare neither this nor that
political organization, on account of any
prejudice or partiality, but hold them up
to the public for the public good.
It has lately come to light that the lion.
B. 11. Hill produced that revolution in
Georgia which swept the Republican party
from power, and placed the Democratic
party in its place, and in answer to an in
quiry made by Gov. Yance, of North Caro
lina, a3 to how this state of things was
brought about, he replied : “The explana
tion involved a long story, but one chief
reason is this : In other States, including
your own, a white man was allowed to be
a radical, in full fellowship with the negroes
and carpet-baggers, and still retain his so
cial wi|h decent people. Hq
did not allow that in Georgia.” “Social
respectability !” Ben Hill—you need only
put the name and the character side by
side to stamp the ridiculousness of the as
sertion. A man troubled with the incu
rablo malady which cost Annanias and
Sappliira their lives—unfortunate in the
statement of his facts—on the record time
and again, with a perversion of facts and
total disregard of truth upon almost every
political subject he ever discussed, regard
less alike of his word to man and his vow
to Heaven, lately proven derelict beyond
controversy, in furnishing historical facts
for a historical society—such a character
to talk about “social respectability with
decent people,” is the sublimity of impu
dence. If there is a carpet-bagger or ne
gro in Georgia who have had a tenth part
of the opportunities to become respectable
in all those ennobling traits which form the
true character, and neglected them as has
Mr. Hill, he should not be countenanced in
“his social respectability with decent peo
ple,” and I have no doubt every one of the
class to which I have referred, is ready and
will be willing to trial by comparison. But
it is not my purpose to hold up Mr. Hill to
the condemnation of public opinion. lie
has so effectually destroyed all confidence
in what he says, and perverted all facts he
attempts to repeat, and this is so well
known and understood in Georgia, that
were I to undertake to make another rec
ord of his demerits, I should justly subject
myself to the charge of exercising super
flous cruelty.
lam not ’■oing to defend the adminis
tration ol Mr. Bullock. I never voted for
him, and I never approved his administra
tion. I never sought his patronage, and I
never received any of the public money for
legal services rendered, or professional ser
vices not commensurate with the fees re
ceived. Those who did, may be round in
the testimony accompanying the report of
the committee charged with the duty of
investigating the integrity of his adminis
tration, most of whom, it will be found,
belong to the political organization that
comes up to Mr, Hill’s standard of “social
respectability.” With this protestation
of partiality or approval of the administra
tion of Governor Bullock, I nevertheless
make the assertion that no act he ever
did, or no legislation under his administra
tion ever equalled the turpitude of those
who succeeded them. ‘Take the three es
tates, the Press, the Legislature and the
Governor, and even Bullock’s administra
tion will appear respectable. ' The press
denounced the lease. I believe Mr. Hill
has stock in the Delano, Brown and Cam
eron corporation, who sustained the car
pet-baggers and negroes in the election
that placed Bullock in power, and thereby
gave to those corporators the “social re
spectability” which he denied to others.
Be this as it may, the press denounced the
lease as born in iniquity, and brought forth
in corruption. It w r as considered one of
the patent acts of Bullock’s long list of
official derelictions, and the people were
appealed to and promised an exposure that
wouid be a beacon light against all future
mal-administrations.
The Democrats came into power and an
investigation took place, aud the report of
the committee, composed of some of the
purest men in Georgia, thought they dis
covered fraud; but the Democratic party
having changed its policy, by selling out
to Greeley and Sumner, and this lease bus
iness being in the way of a retention of
their power, went over, Press, Legislature j
and Governor, to the lease interest, endors
ing Bullock as a pure man, aud leaving the ;
impression that such men as Judge Reese j
and his associates were mistaken in their i
facts, and more especially the conclusions j
to which those facts led them. Viewing !
this whole transaction from a philosophical j
staud-point—remembering the bitterness 1
of party animosity, and especially the al-j
most impossibility of doing justice to an j
opponent, in the investigation of fraud
where the truth of the charge enures to i
the party investigating, and connecting
these reminiscences with the historical
fact that the pres? and the Legislature ac
quitted Bullock before they could possibly
j have have had time to have read the evi
-1 deuce—it presents a case of party forbear
| ance unequaled iu any legislature in this or
: any other country. Were I disposed to
comment upon this very remarkable trans
action. and attempt to assign reasons fur
the action of the press aud the Legislature.
I might be drawn into an iutemperauce of
thought that would assign the reason
of their change to a solidity which
the public does not often see, and the tux
pnyere seldom discover. In this as in all
other ot their deliuquincies, I prefer a
plain unvarnished statement of facts, that
the severity of truth may appear in its full
force, which the trappiugs aud adorumeuts
of criticism often weaken.
The press held up to the people of
Geoorgia that the organic law under which
they lived, their Constitution, was the off
spring of carpet-baggers and negroes, which
did not come up to Mr. Hill s standard of
social respectability. Two Legislatures
composed of an unprecedented majority of
Democrats, have refused the people a voice
io modifying, changing or repealing this
monstroeity, when they were soliciting the
people’s confidence, but upon reflection find
it a very good Constitution A political
party that wa3 so low as to be excluded
from social respectability where Ben Hill
was the standard, to have made a Consti
tution that meets the approval of the Gree
ly Democracy, is another historical fact
that will perhaps never be explained in this
world, and will escape it in the next for
causes useless to mention. The press 6ung
it through the State that Bullock had en
dangered the rights of the people by an
incompetent judiciary. Has Gov. Smith
improved upon the appointments of his
predecessor ? The question and the facts
carry their own answer. When we come
to the individual purity of the press what
do we discover ? The Savannah 2?ews,
the Atlanta Herald, the Augusta Chroni
cle and the Athens Watchman combine
and confederate to divide the profits of
Public Printer, when there is a law on the
statute books of Georgia making such con
duct a crime, and fixing penitentiary con
finement as the punishment—such con
duct—a crime escaping the punishment of
the law, because of the corruption of the
times is no exclusion from Mr. Hill's “so
cial respectability” class. It is not being
sent to the penitentiary which alone puts
a stain upon private character, but to act
in such a way as to deserve the punish
ment, puts a blur equally damaging in all
classes of respectability in which it has
been my province to move. This charge
is not made by myself—it is taken from
the Atlanta Constitution, one of tlieir own
party, and as much entitled to credit as
any of the “decent class” which belong to
this “social respectability” confederation.
To that paper reference is made during the
time these discussions were going on. The
Atlanta Constitution is charged by the
Atlanta Herald with having presented a
false account as Public Printer, and its
truth never has been denied officially by
the Comptroller. But the Public Printer
has been vindicated by a resolution of the
Associated Press, and the charity of the
Comptroller’s silence, and this entitles him
to his position among the “social re
spectability,” where Ben Hill is the stan
dard. These cases are mentioned with no
vindictive feeling towards the individuals
implicated, but from their high position
in the party arrogating a higher order of
“social respectability” than they are wil
ling to award to their political opponents.

Journalistic.
We have received several numbers of
the new Macon daily, the Morning Star.
published by S. B. Burr & Cos. It is just
such a paper as we expected to see with
Col. Fabien Shellabarger Fitch in the edi
torial chair—lively, fresh, good humored.,
and withal able. It is apaper of good pro
portions, neat in appearance, and can oral
ly be made the paper “ F Macon. In its
first numbers wo notice quite a profusion
(>f advertisements, showing that it jumped
into a good business at once. We are not
surprised at this, however, as the live peo
ple of Macon certainly must have long ago
tired of the dull, old fogy, vampish, and to
be more plain, damphool kind of journalism
they have been accustomed to of late years.
Stir up things Fitch—and if possible kick
up a row any how.
We have received the first number of
the Darien Timber Gazette, with Richard
W. Grubb editor and proprietor, A. L.
Adams associate editor. It is a neat aud
spicy journal, and gives signs of runing the
schedule which will most certainly assure
its success.
We have commenced to receive the New
York Herald, the greatest paper in the
world. We publish, elsewhere in another
column, its prospectus. The Atlanta Her
ald in Speaking of it, gives such a clear and
truthful picture of the paper, that we copy
without further comment:
“The New York Herald is the grandest
newspaper enterprise on earth. Possessed
of an income which is positively unlimited,
it hesitates at no expense, is checked by
no obstacle, but startles the world day after
day with new feats of daring, new miracles
of journalism.
Our readers will remember how the Her
ald carried regularly to England the fresh
est news from her own Abysinnian Expe
dition, and discovered for her the lost Liv
ingstone and rescued him from death; and
the audacity with which a Herald reporter
invaded the rooms of the late Emperor
Napoleon at Chiselhurst, and enabled
France to translate, with feverish anxiety,
from an American journal, the first intima
tion she had of her Emperor’s hopes and
designs.
•‘These, though, were exceptional shakes.
The chief excellence of this perfect newspa
per consists iu the absolute übiqnity of its
newsgatherers. No journalist can study
this paper without feeling the profoundest
admiration for the knack it lias of knowing
everything just as it happens, and most
things before they happen. Bald Mountain
shakes a little to-night; the next day's
Herald has a full account of it to-morrow,
with a map of tile country, the names of
its neighbors and the history of all its pre
vious convulsions. The Lowerys kill a
man in Scuffletown to-day; tomorrow’s Her
ald has a full account of the Lowery band,
the pedigree of the slain man, the comments
of the villagers, etc., all taken from life.
Let tnere be a buttle in Cuba, a storm in
Russia, a revolt in the Sandwich Islands,
an avalanche in Iceland, a hanging in Flo
rida. a diplomatic spat in Europe, a famine
in India, a flood in Louisiana ; no matter
what or w here the übiquitous Herald has a
special corresdondent on the grounds, and
it furnishes the world a full account of it
all, usually from one day to six weeks ahead
of the other New York papers. v
The case of F. A. Dockery, the citizen
of the United States arrested in Cuba, and
threatened with capital punishment for
having been iu communication with the in
surgents. was stili undecided at the date of
the latest accounts. The Washington
National Republican of Monday says that
“our government is doing all it can to save
his life, with what prospects ofsuccesa can
not be stated at present.'’

concurrence of such majority.
INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
The internal revenue receipts fur the

comparison with those of the same month

the fact to direct personal supervi dor

Fla., and Galveston, Texas, and to impor

Central and South America.
UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF CURRENCY.
The irritation of members of Congress
from the Noijjphwest over the currency
question is dueqgti £. Iprge measure, to the
unequal distribution of the bank-note cir
culation. Many members express the
opinion that, if Mr. Monroe’s bill in the
last Congress to give the West twenty-five
millions more currency had become a law,
it would have done much toward prevent
ing the present difficulties.
CUTTING DOWN SALARIES.
The avidity with which members of Con
gress jump to the conclusion that salaries
must be cut down, and retrenchment per
meate everywhere under the jurisdiction of
i the Government, is remarkable. The agil
| ity and fervidness with which they oppose
| such a step when th sir own pet officers or
| their own interests are affected thereby is
likewise astounding. It is with difficulty,
therefore, Hiat the chapman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations succeeds in gett
ing through the appropriation bills as they
came from his committee with the estima
tes of the Department greatly reduced. He
is fought at every "step, at every item in
the bill, by some member who is certain to
be affected by the reduced estimate.
THE PROPOSED “POSTAL GUIDE.”
In pursuance of the provisions of the
House bill the Post Office Department has
been in correspondence with the leading
publishing firms throughout the country in
relation to the publication of a postal guide,
but no firm has as yet been willing to meet
with the requirements, which ai c in sub
stance as follows: An alphabetical list of
post offices and post roads, the division of
the book into counties and States, a sum
mary of the postal laws and regulations, &c,
a table of postages, domestic and foreign,
and lists of money-order offices. Jr'ome of
leading publishing firms of New York,
Philadelphia, and others centers of business
have seen the Postmaster General in rela
tion to the matter, but the designation of
the work to any particular firm will uot be
made for several weeks.
CAKE FOR THE' HEIRS OF DEAD INDIANS.
Parties are constantly at work trumping
up matters upon which to secure some
basis to go into Congress ai?d establish
claims against the Government. Old In
dian treaties long since invalidated are torn
to pieces m order that some zealous and
faithful friend (?) of the heirs of dead In
dians may secure some money cut of the
Treasury which their ancestors neglected
to secure under the treaty, ho powerful

committee. It is only through careful :
scrutiny and zealous watching <:• i the ryrt 1
of business-like Senators and '"embers;
that schemes for plunder of this character I
are prevented from going through. 'There I
is more of a mania than ever for making
inroads upon the public 1 rcasury by par
ties whose designs are ingenious, skillfully
planned, but unprincipled to the last de
gree. and requiring the constant vigilance
of the “watchdogs” of the Treasury in Con
gress to offset them.
MODIFICATION OF TEST-OATHS.
The House Judiciary Committee has
agreed upon a report to be presented to
the House to cover all the disabilities in
regard to oaths, &c., necessary to be taken
by those living in the South during the re
belion, when applying for bounties, pensions,
payment of contracts, &c. Quite a number
of bills and resolutions have been introduc
ed during the session of a different charac
ter, but all aiming to one point, viz: the
removal of all laws discriminating against
Southern people, and the report just agreed
upon is intended to cover the ground em
braced in all these bills.
The report sets forth that, as the gene
ral acts of amnesty and laws of the United
States have exempted property from confis
cation, there can be no just reason for ad
hering to laws which prevent creditors of
the United States from receiving their just
dues, as such impediment virtuuliy confis
cates a person's property iu the shape of
debts due.
Ihe report accompanies a bili which re
peals all laws discriminating against those
who, on account of participation iu or sym
pathizing with the late rebellion, were de
barred from receiving their claims.
A POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
1 hose interested in what now can prop
erly be classed as so-called postal telegraph
projects, are determined not to let go their
hold this session. ’lbis subject has cen
tered down into but one movement now.
The original idea of a legitimate postal
telegraph, by which the Government was
to operate a lina of its own, has been aban
doned.
I Postmaster Genera! Creawell, having
fought pretty hard for this plan, is content
to leave it with Congress. He has put
himself on record in favor of it. Hubbard,
the author of what is known of the Hub
bard system, which is to keep the lines un
der private ownership and rent them out
to the Government, has joined hands with
the Western Union Company, and both
are working to make a nice thing out of
the Government, under what is to be known
as postal telegraphy.
A commission has been proposed in Con
gress to investigate the subject of a postal
telegraph and report to CongTcss. This is
the merest bosh; no new facts are needed,
and such commissions are but the result
of the workings of the telegraph lphby
here, under the guise of eafcabiifekiue a Dtw
telegraph. * y 1
Civil War in Arkansas.
The reckless rivalry of the politicians
and the inaction of the federal authorities,
says the New York Herald, have at last
resulted in bloodshed. The forces of .Bax
ter and Brooks have passed from menace
and threat to actual warfare. The battle
which the telegraph informs us has taken
place between the Baxter forces under
General White and a body of Brooks’ men
has resulted in a considerable loss of life,
and may lead no one knows whither. vVe
are once more, thanks to the plottings of
carpet baggers, engaged for a second time
in civil war and the consequences may not
cease: with tee blood already shed. We

Jf there is any class of men in this coun
try who desire to emulate the half-breed 3
of the South American republics; and at
tempt t.o seize a power by force that the
votes of the people have denied them, the
sooner they learn tliht such infamies will

are in favor of paying the utmost respect
to State rights, but the moment a party in
a State overthrows the de facto govern
ment by force and constitutes itself in re
bellion it becomes the duty of the Execu
tive to suppress such revolt with all the
power of the nation. The delay in doing
so in the Arkansas case has led to the
present outbreak ot hostilities and to the
inauguration of a civil strife which may
lead no man knows whither unless prompt
ly suppressed. Will President Grant see
to it?
Mississippi papers report the ravages of
anew enemy to the cotton plant. It is a
small black snail, which attacks and des
troys the plants as soon as they make their
appearance above the ground. The damage
already done by them is extensive. Fine
salt sprinkled over the plants is recommend
ed as a sure remedy.
Two Railroads in Wiscocsin refuse to
comply with a law of the State regulating
rates of railway companies. The reasons
assigned are that they cannot pay divi
dends if they reduce the rates. This, we
suppose, will be the argument of all the
monopolies in opposing the Interests of the
people,
