The Carroll County Times. i&sT' Alonzo Head, acknowledged wit of Rock mart-, despite the expos tulations of his friends and the earnest Entreaties and importunities of her “ whom he adores,” turned his hack upon the home of his youth and set out tor the w ilds of Carroll county, V, ' on Monday last. Heartless young man, to turn a- deaf ear to Cupids eloquent appeals !—Rockmart Re porter. Burned to Death. —Friday night Fob. 28th, the clothes of a little girl at the hotel at Whitesbnrg, Carroll county, caught on fire and burned her person so badly that she died the next morning. The name of the lit tie unfortunate was Miss Nannie Mc call.—Nevmcui Herald. Plenty of Money.— The Savannah Griffin & North Alabama Railroad Company must have plenty ot money for the Company is now cashing the July coupons ot their bonds, enlv re quiring the holders to deduct from their face at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum. —Neuman Herald. No Slang. —ln the Girls’ High School in San Francisco a society of the young women has been formed for the suppression of slang. A reporter “interviewed” one of the lovely mem bers and asked if she thought the society would be successful in eradita ting slang. “You bet” was the lively and encouraging reply. Haralson County.— From the ex- SheriiF, Terrell White, of Haralson County, we learn that considerable damage was done to the farmings in terest in the county by the recent freshets. The heavy rains badly washed the hill lands, while the bot toms were inundated, and much fen cing carried away. Farmers, how over, are full of pluck and determined to work ahead as busy as if no disas ter had befallen them. —Rome Com mercial. EssTMeinphis mules appear to have a keen sense of humor and to be fond of playing practical jokes on their fellow beings. One of them attached to a street car lately refused to budge an inch untill all the men in. the car got O'Tt to push behind, when he dashed off at full speed, leaving them sprawl ing: on the ground. This fellow is a very good representative of his class, we mean practical jokers, not mules. An Enterprising Young Man.— Mr. Walter C. Grace, son of Maj Thomas A. Grace, of this city, although never in a paper mill until last summer, has been appointed Stiperintedent of the Georgia Paper ALills, located in, Carroll county, and is turning out a most superior article of paper, giving the many patrons of the Mill unsur passed satisfaction. We have been connected with the Herald' since its establishment, ISGS, and used paper from many different mills, but never used a quire of newspaper superior to, and very rarely the equal of that fur* uished us by the Georgia*Mills. The Mill is doing an excellent busi ness, and for its prosperous present ana highly flattering future it is great ly indebted to the indomitable energy, tact and skill of our young friend, Mr. Walter Grace. The present issue ,of the Herald is printed on paper manufactured by Mr. Grace.— Neicnan Herald. Germany and France— I The Fourth Milliard. —How nobly France has paid up her indemnity ! Never was so painful and heavy'a fine so handsome ly paid. Five milliards was the full sum, of those five milliards three and a half will have been paid next month. In July the payment of the fourth mil liard will be completed. It is under stood that with the payment of the fourth milliard France will ask Ger many to evacuate Belfort, and, with the exception of Alsace and Lorraine, which are hopelessly gone, to restore France to herself. What Germany may do in in July is doubtful. Bis marck wants his last penny before France makes any change in her form of Government. Until July trance will wait with patience. In July there may be trouble it Germany is not gentle and considerate. JGST All kinds of poultry and meat can be cooked quicker by adding to the water in which they are boiled, a little vinegar or apiece of lemon. By the use of an acid, there will he con siderable saving of fuel, as well as shortening of time. Its action is ben eficial on old tough meat, rendering them quite tender and easy of diges tion. Tainted meats and fowls will lose their bad taste and odor if cook* ed in this way, if not used too freely no taste of it will be acquued. A sure way to make an impression. —Fall down in the mud. CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 14, 1873. The Bond Question. COMMUNICATION FROM “ CARROLL** HE DISCUSSES TIIE SUBJECT WITH MUCH ABILITY TO COMPROMISE OR NOT COMPROMISE, “THATS TIIE QUES TION. Editor Times : —The course in the matter of the “illegal bonds,” pursued by the Atlanta Constitution, is highly commendable, and deserves the thanks of every honest man in the State.— That course has developed, not only, the opinions of wise men, whose business it i-s, to control such matters, but also the facts in the case. The Legislature in its last ses sion failed to take up the question of compromise. A question however, that must be settled. The people will now have time, to form, and express opinions, before the Legislature will again convene. “What will the peo ple advise their representatives to do? Shall we compromise ? or shall we not? If we refuse to compromise, what position do we assume? “Thatsßoo,- 000 of bonds, bearing the signature of the Governor, and the great sea] of Slate, are invalid, null and void, and at the same time the State in her sovereignty, refuses to allow the jus tice of her course to be tried before the courts of the country. This the State unquestionably has a right to do. But is it l ight to do it ? Is it ex pedient ? The facts brought out, as to Geor gia’s credit, by the discussion in the Constitution, abundantly show that Georgia cannot afford to hold to the position of repudiation. She needs money, and she must get it on her credit, or by direct taxation. Direct taxation, sufficient to pay the current debt of the State, cannot be borne by the people, hence the State is obliged to borrow money. To do that, she must build up her credit, which the repudi ation ot 8,000,000 illegal bonds, (ille gal though they are,) has sunk to an almost ruinous degree. Now how will the State redeem her credit? Either compromise with those who hold the illegal bonds, and remove their lying libellous faces, from the gaze of the world’s exchange, or else permit herself to be sued, and have the illegality of the bonds, fairly tested. When she comes into a court of justice, she cannot plead that the bonds were issued without authority, for they declare on their face, that they were, and bear the attestation of all the legal signatures, required by the law, and that of the “great seal” of the Commonwealth. Many of them, have, as we learn, passed into the hands of innocent purchasers, who had no means of knowing that, 118. Bullock.A; Cos., were plundering the State. Those bonds have all the appearance of good paper and declare Georgia’s responsibility, on their face. The courts, as clearly shown, by the most excellent article, of Ex Governor Brown have decided that such bonds must be good, as against the State, when they have passed into the hands of a lona Jule purchaser, for value, without notice. The illegality of the “ bonds, ” cannot come before the court. Some other defence must be adopted. The State must prove that, the holders, are not bona fide holders for value,, without notice. That is a. question of fact, and it will prove a very difficult one to establish. If a man is not disposed to acknowledge that, he knew a certain thing at a certain time,, he will not be likely to do it. Besides that,, it may be estab lished that, the larger part of these bonds are held by innocent parties? then by the judgment of court, the State may have to pay five or six mil lions, for an indebtedness, that can now be liquidated, for 1.500,000. — That defence would therefore be one of doubtful expediency. The only comse left then, to the State would be to set up the illegality of the “Bullock government.” There is no doubt on the mind of any honest Democrat, but that the Bullock Gov ernment, wa> unconstitutional, null and void of any just rights, because the acts of the U. S. Government, under which it was organized were acts of usurpation. But while no honest man will admit that it was a government dejare. no sane one, will deny that it was a Government de facto. If we can make a case, that will prove the unconstitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts, it might be well. But while that is a consuma tion, devotedly to be wished, will we make any thing by attempting it now? I think not. Too much has been done under those acts, to make a nul ification of them at this time, either necessary to the mantainauce of prin ciples or the establishment of a sound policy,beside that, the acts themselves have about worked out their missions of infamy, and they are now ready to die a natural death and with them, will die the active principles, in the xiv and xv Amendments. The country does not need them now, and ere long, like the Alien and Sedition laws they will pass into history, and be lost in the living-* government. Already the signs of life, are returning to that principle in the Constitution of our fathers, which these usurpations have held throttled for ten years. The tabling of the Louisana bill by the Senate, is an acknowledgement of the principle of State Sovereignty. The Senate perhaps dont intend to acknowl edge it, and hence they seek by inac tion to throw the responsibility on the Executive. I may have read the acts of Congress wrong, but to me it looks as I have suggested. We have hope therefore in the ultimate riddance from those nefarious schemes of oppression, if in a court of justice, we gained a judgment, founded on their unconstitutionality. In order to legalize, all that has been done, under those acts, which by such a judgment would be declared null and void, the State would have B to pay perhaps more money, than the suit would be worth to her. The only course there for, that would seem to be dictated by a sound discretion, is to “compromise.” We thereby liberate, the now shack led credit of the State, and permit her to assume her high position in the money market of the world. ' And we do this, at a less cost, than we are likely to get relieved from the trouble in any other way. But Mr. Editor if we cannot com promise this matter, without surren dering -the principle of our sovereign ty as a State, better let the State credit sink to zero, or tax the people to bankruptcy. Wc can stand any thing better than the of liberty. I am in favor of settling with these creditors, on their terms, and as lion B. 11. Hill intimates, charge the amount to the Federal Government, and some of these days, when liberty and justice shall have been released from that bastile at Washington, by the triumph, of the sovereign people over the usurpation of unprincipled, public servants, we will present our just claims against a just government, with some hope of recovery. Far fetched as tliis scheme mn} seem to be, it ytt offers more than any'other that grows, out of our present finan cial difficulties. Respectfully, Your fellow citizen, Carroll, March 4th, 1873. Letter from Whitesbnrg. Editor Times :—As I am here waiting for the arrival of mv Guano, from Savannah, I have concluded to while away a few leisure moments in writing to you. I am tritely surprised to see the thriv mg condition of this young and flour ishing little town. The rapid improve meat it has made in so shoi&a time. There are a considerable number of good business houses here, completed, and seemingly in a prosperous con* dition, while several others are in state of erection, and hastening on to early completion.. Whitesbnrg is no sardine of a town, and is destined in the future to be a trading point, of considerable importance. I was glad to meet up here, with my old friend and acquaintance, Prof. Newton, principal of the Whitesbnrg Seminary, which I am informed is in a very flourishing and satisfactory condition, with about fifty students in regular attendance. The citizens of Whites* burg were very fortunate in securing the services of this worthy and eminent gentleman, as the teacher and instruc tor of their children. The building is o commodious and convenient, and well regulated in regard botli to comfort and taste. Much is due Prof. Newton from the citizens of Whitesburg and vicinity, for the zeal, energy and public spirit, he has manifested in behalf of the ed ucational mterest of this town and section. Long may lie wave in. the sunshine of an unclouded prosperity. The Missionary Baptists have a church here, at which they have reg ular monthly meetings ; and I am told that the Methodist design building a large church house here, sometime during next summer, with perhaps, a Masonic Hall overhead. I imagine at no distant day, that this place will be well supplied, with houses of public worship, by the various denominations represented in the county. The hotel here under the supervi sion and management of Mr. Harris depot agent is a good one, and kept up in first rate style. The building is roomy, convenient, and comfortable ; and well deserves the patronage of the traveling community. A number of hands are daily employed in the big cut, on the big rock at this place, and every now and then, bum goes a big blast. It will require some time yet, to remove this huge granite ob struction out of the way, so that the “old steam lK>rse,” can go on his way rejoicing to your own beautiful and prosperous town of Carrollton. The farmers in this and adjoining counties, are buying large amounts of Guano, this season, and nearly every day for the last week, there have been from seventy-five to oue hundred wagons here after Guano. I have had the pleasure since ray arrival here, of forming the acquaintance of the President of this Road, and I find him to be a bland and ; curt eons gen tleman. He has promised to hurry up our freights as fast as possible, and have temporary sheds erected to shel ter our Guano from the wet weather, that may likely occur during this month. I will close this communication by asking you to send your most excel lent paper, to the address of 11. W. Slaughter, Villa Rica, Ga., and I will hand you the change the first time we meet. Yours respectfully, R. J. Gaines. The Presidential Tour. Grant.is so fond of junketing about the country to the neglect of official duty; he has such a tooth for other people’s wine, such a taste for tree cigars, free rides and free lunches, that when his contemplated Southern tour was announced it wa-. but natural to suppose : first, that he desired to vis it a field as yet not desolated by social raids ; and, secondly, that the South, free from snows and ice, offered a pleasant prospect for a holiday jaunt. Subsequent events would lead to the conclusion that the President in tended to combine a bit of business with pleasure. It has been semi-offi cially announced that the President, before tlxe commencement of his se cond term, desired to make his peace with a much abused and enstranged section. Upon authority of one claiming to possess his confidence, it is given to the country that in his heart he des pises the machinery, the tools, the agents and the corrupting consequence of the abomination known as “ Recon-, struction.” If this be true, he has concealed his true sentiments with wonderful success ; and the possesion of such sentiments, even though stu.-s diously and successfully concealed, reflects more real credit upon his head and heart than all ot the honors which have fallen to his lot. It is well for him that even at this late day he de sires to conciliate a people lie lias greatly wronged and opressed. It will be better tor the country if lie can accomplish his desires. But it is not a matter of regret that this contemplated tour has been, for the present, postponed. The South is hardly in a position to be pacified by Presidential attentions. Her people are not in a mood to be caught by pleasant phrases and curt compliments, even from a Chief Ma, gistrate. They demand something more tangible asd substantial. The President lias always been profuse of his pleasantries. Experience has taught that his pretty speeches were always followed by some new and startling exercise of executive power. Witness the cases of Alabama and Louisiana. The time has not yet come when Grant should visit the Southern peo ple. If he were to come |o\v it would be as conqueror visitinghis com quered subjects, m>t the father look ing with affectionate interest after his children. He could gain nothing from his tour. The Southern people might loose much of that dignity and- self respect which ennobles them. It is natural in the human mind to wors ship power, to do reverence to official position, without thought as to the merits of the individual filling the po~ sition. If Grant had come down upon us as proposed, we fear that we should have witnessed scenes calculated to cause proud men and women to blush with shame. It is not improbable that we should have been compelled to chronicle facts that would not have passed into history on the credit side of our account as a people. At the mere mention of his coming the flunkies were agitated, the time servers were delighted, and the weary seekers after office were elated. The garlic eating rabble were prepared to throw up their caps and waste a deal of bad breath. Some better people than these were preparing to do horn age, to bow down and to humbly kiss the hand that smote them and theirs. It is well that all of these have been disappointed. The time may come, and that very shortly, when the Pres ident may with propriety visit the South. That time is within the pow er of his own making. In a few days lie will enter upon his second term of office, backed by a Congress in perfect accord with him, selected after the most heated political contest in the annals of the country. When he takes the oatli and assumes the great power entrusted to him let him an nour.ee to the country a policy of real equity and pacification. Let him say that the constitution shall be observed in all of its provisions ami require ments, and that the government shall be conducted upon the basis of law and justice. Let him march his bay onets from beyond our boundaries, because it is not right that they should be here, and not for excuse that the public service demands them else where. Let him open the prison doors to men convicted upon suborned testimony and for political purposes. Let him call off his corps of spies, informers and detectives, and silence thejackalls in the shape of United States judges and attorneys. Let him restore the State governments of Ala bama and Louisiana to their people* And then let him mount his chariot and come to receive the plaudits of a people whojieveF) et failed to greet a man with honest oonvictious and courage sufficient to announce and en force them. It is not the policy of the Southern people to antagonize the President. On the contrary their every interest demand that they should secure his friendship and protection. Important as these last are to a suf fering and struggling people, they would be dearly purchased at the sac rifice of self-respect. —Sanannah Ad vertiser. —«.• ..SC— —— Old Jim Turner, of Georgia. In the good old county of C., State of Alabama, Ihere lived one John Smith, who unlike The remainder of his small family, was peculiarly afflic ted with a want of discrimination be tween his own things and those of other persons, or-who, rather, was ig norant ot the laws relating to meum et team. Now once on a time, the said John Smith, while laboring under a s evere attack of the above mentioned disease, and being further impelled by the vociferations ot an empty stomach, went under the cover of night, and feloniously took and car ried away from his neighbor’s pen a shoat valued at one dollar and fifty cents, with the intention of approprh ating the same to his own use. But unfortunately, Johnny was detected, and in due course of time was carried before Judge P. for trial. The wits nesses were introduced and the fact ot the thief was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. The jury retired, to, make their ver dict, to an adjacent grove of trees, and were not out long before they re turned, with a verdict of “ guilty of hog stealin ’in fust degrees.” The Judge told them that their verdict was proper except that they had omitted to assess the value of the property stolen, and that there was no degree to hog stealing, and to retire again and bring in their verdict in “ prop 3:1 form.” Again they retired, with pen, ink and paper, but rather nonplussed with regard to “ form.” They pon dered long and deeply over what he meant by “ form.” At last old W. Jim Turner, who had been Justice of the Peace in Georgia, with a bright countanance, and sly wink, as much as to say : “ Look at me, boys, I understand a thing or two,” wrote the verdict and returned to the court house. One by one they filed in, old Jim in the lead, and took their seats, Old Jim handed the verdict to the Clerk, with anxious pomposity, and sat dowji. Judge of the laughter when the clerk read the following : “ We, the jeaury, pnsilanimously find the defendant guilty in the sum of 1 dollar and a \ in favor of the hog.” Kimr Your Mourn Shut.— We say this in kindest manner possible, for we mean it for your good, reader. Mr. George Gatlin, tlie wellknown writer on the North American Indi ans, after a thorough investigation, is satisfied that very many of the ills to which we are subject, arises from the fact that people will sleep with their mouths open. The Indians, he says, are subject to but few of the diseases that tve suffer from, particu larly premature deaths, bronchial and pulmonary diseases, and consumption. He says that the Indian mother press es together the lips of her sleeping babe till the habit of shutting the mouth is irrevocably formed. Sleeping open mouthed is not con ductive to beauty ; so, reader in sleep ing, both on sanitary and aesthetic grounds shut your mouth when you sleep. j&ST Tliats a bad cold you’ve got, said a man to his troublesome neigh bor at a lecture. ‘Sorry, sir, but it’s the best I have.’ To the Afflicted.
