We will commence the publication
of a continuous Story’ entitled “The
Broken Pitcher,” in the next week’s
Issue of our
from the German, by Miss D. Moon,
of Marietta, expressly for the Stand
ard & Express, through the kind
ness of Misses Moon & Safford, of the
Cartersville Female Seminary. Now
is the time to subscribe for our paper
in order to commence with the story.
The New York Express says “that
Georgia, undoubtedly the most enter
prising of all the Southern States, is
now moving in behalf of a stupend
ous project, which, if tarried out, will
materially affect the commerce of the
Mississippi river. The proposition is
to construct a canal from St. Louis to
Savannah, mainly for the transporta
tion of grain—a route that would Ik*
300 miles has to the sea than that of
the Mississippi river. It is estimated
that the cost of this enterprise will
not exceed SIO,OOO,(MX)—a mere trifle
in comparison with the new’ trade
that it would divert to Georgia.”
Senator Lewis, of Virginia, has pre
sented a petition to Congress, from
the widow of Gen. R. E. Lee, setting
forth the sale of the Arlington estate
as unconstitutional, and asking Con
gress to appropriate $300,000 to pur
chase the estate from her, whereupon
she will give the government a clear
title. The property belong'd to Mrs.
Lee, and has been taken from her, by
the government, w ithout just cause
or compensation.
State Finances. —The report of
Treasurer Angier, a copy of which
has been received, furnishes a detailed
statement of the financial operations
of the State, so far as they were
allowed to come under his control
or observation, by the Radicals who
were attempting to plunder on every
hand. Mr. A. estimates the honest
or real debt of the State at SB,(MM), (MM).
The railrord debt is not estimated.
The'.receipts during theyear, from all
sources—including cash on hand
January Ist, 1871, amounted to $1,631;-
f)'.Mi 48 ; disbursements for all purposes,
$1,444,829 47; balance December 31st,
1871, $186,767 01. During the current
year the State will ho called upon to
pay principal on bonds failing due
$730,250; interest on outstanding
bonds $375,890. Next year the same
class of payments will only reach
$468,175. These amounts are payable
on accounts of bonds issued prior to
1868.
The announcement of the passage
of the Southern Railroad bill causes
great rejoicing throughout Central
Kentucky. It will be remembered
that this bill ‘hung fire’ in one branch
of the Kentucky Legislature, a year
or more ago.
The war in Mexico continues with
unabated zeal. Fifteen hundred ex-
Confederate troops have gone over
from Texas to help Juarez out, armed
with Winchester rifles and officered
by men of their own choosing. They
certainly love the fun better than we
do, or they would stay on their own
side of the river. The late little un
pleasantness between the North and
South exhausted our stock of ambi
tion for military achievement and
glory.
A special dispatch to the Wilming
ton Journal announces that Governor
Vance, of North Carolina, has resign
ed the United States Senatorship, to
which he was elected by the Legisla
ture of that State, but from which he
was excluded by the reconstruction
acts of Congress.
The announcement of the delega
tion recently appointed to represent
the Republican party of Georgia in
the National Republican Convention
creates great consternation in Admin
istration circles in Washington, on ac
count of the disreputable characters of
most the delegates.
A correspondent of the Federal Un
ion calls attention to a great change
which has been made in the mort
gage law of Georgia by tw r o recent
acts of the Legislature of December
12th and 13th, 1871. By one, proper
ty conveyed by deed or title of sale by
debtor to creditor, though intended
merely for security of the debt, is lost
forever to the debtor, if he fails to pay
up “ substantially” according to
promise. What “substantially”
means is for a Court of Equity to set
tle iu each case. Creditors will hold
it means “ punctually” to the day,
and the act reads very much that
way. The old equity doctrine of En.
gland and that of Georgia is that “in
terest pays for time, and the debtor
may redeem.” By the other act debt
ors who mortgage mules, crops, cat
tle or stocks of goods to creditors, and
then sell or dispose of the property to
others without consent of the creditor,
go to jail for a year, or pay a fine
equal to double the debt. So look
out debtors.
The Columbus Enquirer is justly
Jubilant over the present condition
and future prospects of its Fair Asso
ciation. It owns a fine property, don’t
owe a dollar, and has never received
any assistance from the city.
Claflin, a leading merchant in New
York, declared on oath before the
Senate Investigating Committee in
that city, that somebody stole five
thousand dollars worth of goods from
him while they were in the govern
ment bonded warehouse.
The State Road is doing a heavy
business. It runs from two to three
hundred freight ears daily. Very lit
tle of the business is from the North.
It is almost exclusively from the
West, and consists of provisions. One
can realize how largely we draw our
supplies from the West, how depend
ant we of the South are. The State
Road is in fine order, and apparently
well managed.
At a leap year party in Atlanta, on
the 9th inst., the young ladies
showed their manliness by having the
following mottoes in conspicuous
places: “ We mean business,” “Now
is our chance,” “ Waiting is tedious.”
The Republican of Sunday, says
rumor has it that the code has been
called upon to settle a personal
difficulty between two well-known
gentlemen of the city of Savannah.
Everylsoldier in the service of the
United States costs the people an
average of SI,OOO per annum, or $2,75

STAND FROM UNDER.
We heard a gentleman say, yester
day, that (Y»i. Farrow made noßocret
of mentioning some of the Democrats,
so-called, who hadafliliated with Bul
lock &n<l Kimball in their wholesale
robl>ery of the people’s money.
Fitzpatrick, too, has been snuffing
around, and promises rare revellations
when the Presidential ball opens.
These fellows had letter sell their
“ bonds” even at a heavy discount,
turn their fat horses and farms into
money, and bike passage for Austra
lia or Guinea, when* they ought to lx?,
with birds of their own feather, and
where roguery commands a premium.
Take heed, gentlemen. Be sure
your sin will find you out .—Telegraph
d* Messenger.
The slightest intimation of any
exp'isure of the gang of thieves which
has been preying upon the money of
the people of Georgia, is more than
sufficient to excite the curiosity of the
whole community. If Col. Farrow
knows anything, we believe that at
the proper time it will come to the
light, in his own way, and when, too,
it shall prove most effective. No
reason can be good enough to shield
any and every one who has ha/1 any
agency in stealing the public funds,
and we trust that a full and crushing
expose of every man, whether Radi
cal or Democrat, will be made. Let
Col. Farrow or Fitzpatrick, or both,
not hold their hands, but come out
and make a clean breast of it, and let
the people know who they may justly
charge with the miserable rascalities
and robberies of the State. The
daintiest dish that ever was spread
before the public would be served up,
if by such fortunate Providence, all
these fellows who have literally
grown fat—yes, fat—upon the spoils
of the people could he held up and
out to the public gaze. Just think of
it, here were a parcel of chaps as poor
as poverty, lean, lank, ill-favored and
hungry, when, lo! under the fostering
rays of the Radical sun, they are all
arrayed in glittering robes, feeding
upon delicacies rich and rare, with
costly viands and racy wines, and
equipages grand, hob-nobbing one
another most lecherously, and cloth
ed in such good array, at all points,
as to become the observed of all ob
servers, the cynosures of all eyes.
While all the surviving sufferers
from the war were scarcely able to
hold up against the sad cast of a most
merciless and terrible fate, and honest
industry could scarcely meet and sat
isfy the every day demand of house
and home and family, these new-fledg
ed birds of prey disported them most
joyously, rolled in wealth, and
crowned themselves, too, as often
they did with blushing honors of the
State. It never looked right, it nev
er felt right, it never was bearable.
Many, doubtless, who have spread
their gaudy wings in the air, have
been seen and marked, and are doom
ed, yet, we trust, to open and declar
ed shame; while many others, more
quiet still, and shy, content with the
portion of goods which have fallen to
them, in secret gloat over their gains,
and if nervously, yet all triumphantly
munch with most liquorish teeth,
their prorata spoil. We want to see
these fellows all unearthed, and the
whole pack whose fangs have blooded
the public body, brought from under
cover. It makes no difference who
he is or what’s bis name, his station
or his party, only let the broad light
which seems to be gathering its rays
for future use be thrown upon them,
and no matter who they may be, the
whole country will be aroused, and
every man will be a whipper in.
Come out Col. Farrow, come out Mr.
Fitzpatrick, and let the country know
for the country’s sake ; and if any
other there be, let him come, too, and
if in league with the plundered peo
ple of the country, we shall start a
chase which shall tree the rascals and
bring them to the light and to pun
ishment, yours will not be the small
est tribute of praise and thankfulness
at the hands of your outraged coun
trymen. We do trust that the inti
mations given in the above extract
have something substantial about
them, and that the so long needed
and merited revelations will be made,
to the discomfiture and punishment
of the jackalls who have so long
prowled in our midst.
MR. Colfax relents.
Mr. Colfax has felt himself con
strained by the earnest request of his
friends to so far yield his private
wishes in regard to retiring from the
public service, at the close of his pres
ent term of office, as to say that while
he cannot ask for a renomination, nor
be regarded as antagonizing the able
men whose names have been suggest
ed, he would feel it to be his duty to
obey the voice of those who represent
the party whose principles he has for
so many years vindicated and sup
ported, and if they place him in nom
ination for the Vice-Presidency at
the approaching National Republi
can Convention, he will not refuse to
accept the nomination. Os course he
would not, and if there be one who
has doubted it from the beginning,
he should be cut for the simples.—
Southern Watchman.
Just so, and Colfax of course will
be the nominee, if lie can get it. How
like Mr. Solomon Pell, of the Insol
vent Court, in the Pickwick Papers—
now making a show of refusing while
all alive to the taking.
“ Mr. Weller surveyed the Attor
ney from head to foot with great ad
miration, and said, emphatically:
‘ And what’ll you take, sir ?’
“ ‘ Why, really,’ replied Mr. Pell.
4 You’re very—upon my word and
honor, I am not in the habit of—its
so very earlv in the morning, that,
actually, I am almost—well, you may
bring me three penn’worth of rum,
my dear.’
“ The officiating damsel who had
anticipated the order before it was
given, set the glass of spirits before
Pell, and retired.
“ ‘Gentlemen,’ said Mr. Pell, look
ing round upon the company, 4 Suc
cess to your friend ! I don’t like to
boast, gentlemen ; it’s not my way;
but I can’t help saying that, if your
friend hadn’t been fortunate enough
to fall into hands that —but I won't
say what I was going to say. Gentle
men, my service to you.’
4 • Having emptied the glass in a
twinkling, Mr. Pell smacked his lips
and looked complacently on the as
sembled coachmen, who evidently
regarded him as a species of divinty.
44 4 Let me see,’said the legal au
thority, 4 what was I a-saying, gen
tlemen ?’
44 4 1 think you was remarkin’ as
you wouldn’t have no objection to
another o’ the same, sir,’ said Mr.
Weller with grave facetiousness.
44 4 Ha, ha!’ laughed Mr. Pell.
4 Not bad, not bad. A professional
man, too! At this time of the mor
ning, it would be rather too good a—
well, I don’t know, my dear—you
may do that again , if you please.
Hem!’”
*******
44 4 The late Lord Chancellor, gen
tlemen, was very fond of me,’ said
Mr. Pell.
44 4 And very creditable in him, too,’
interrupted Mr. Weller.
44 4 1 remember, gentlemen, dining
with him on one occasion, when he
said, 4 Pell,’ said he, 4 no false delica
cy, Pell. You’re a man of talent;
and your country should be proud of
you.’ These were his very words.
4 My Lord,’ said I, 4 you flatter me.’
‘Pell,’ he said, ‘if I do, I’m
damned.’ ”

DEBATING* SOCIETY.

Night before last at eleven o’clock,
as the night train on the South-wes
tern road was approaching Fort Val
ley, the citizens noticed that an unu
sual amount of whistling and bell
ringing were going on. The engine
had the honor of giving the first
alarm, and soon the cry of fire was
heard in every direction. The streets
presented a scene of confusion worse
confounded, while all rushed toward
the spot where the devouring flames
were devastating—the guard house.
After a glorious struggle upon the
part of every citizen to reach the spot
first and keep the coolest with hands
in pockets, until the walls had crum
bled away and melted into ashes, the
chief of the department made an elab
orate report in the imperishable lan
guage of the late lamented, “ nobody
hurt on our side.” After which every
body quieted down and went back to
their little-beds.— Tel. & Mes., 23 d.
A conversation this week w’ith W.
F. Penniman, Esq., the efficient and
active agent of the stauch firm of
Dodge A Cos., dealers in manufactured
Yellow Pine, informs as that they are
now receiving orders by the million
feet, and that they have on their
books, at this place, orders for twelve
cargoes. From Mr. Penniman we
learn that the demand has never been
so great for yellow pine as at this
time, and that their firm anticipate
doing the heaviest business in that
line ever done at this port. Their
splendid new wharf, of sufficient ca
pacity to accommodate a half dozen
vessels at one time, will soon be fin
ished, when they expect to rush busi
ness. —Brunswick Appeal.
COD. WAKREN AKIN FOR SUPREME
COURT JUDGE.
Editors Constitution: —You will
permit me to suggest the name of the
lion. Warren Akin as a suitable
person to fill the vacancy in the bench
of the Supreme Court of the State.
He is well known throughout the
State as a lawyer of experience, abil
ity, and integrity. In each and all of
these respects, he hits no superior in
the State and but few equals. Col
Akin is a true Democrat, and as a
lawyer, he ever stands firm in support
of the constitutional rights of all
persons. If placed upon the bench,
lie would prove himself the peer of
the present eminent and noble Chief
Justice. Col. Akin labors under no
disibilities. Could Governor Smith
make a better apointment? Crito.
CARD FROM THE STATE SCHOOL
COMMISSIONER.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22d, 1872.
Editors of the Sun: Allow me to
say, through your paper, to numerous
correspondents, that it is impoasible,
at this time, to give much of the in
formation sought by them, on account
of important changes just made in the
school law of 1870. Just as soon as
practicable, the whole law affecting
this great interest in the future, as
well as that providing compensation
for those who have rendered services
in the past, shall be embodied in pro
per form and placed in the hands of
the school officers.

State School Commissioner.
EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECH OF MR.
YOORHEKS, LY THE HOUSE, MONDAY,
JANUARY 22, 1872.
The New Orleans Troubles.
* * * As I look upon the scene
which lias been exhibited in the city
of New Orleans for the last two weeks,
I think no gentleman upon this floor
has exaggerated its importance. No
one has colored the affair too strongly.
And the gentleman from Massachu
setts [Mr. Dawes] is entitled, in my
judgement, to the thanks of the coun
try for the independence of his con
duct in
MOVING TIIE PROrOSED INVESTIGA
TION.
He is a leader of the party, and the
official leader of the House, and the
effects of his measure must fail upon
his political friends. His conduct is
all the more commendable for that
Sir, what do we behold in Louisi
ana ? An American State has been
trying for two weeks to convene her
Legislature, and trying in vain. She
has been endeavoring to assemble the
law-making branch of her govern
ment, and up to this hour has failed.
During that time we have seen an
American officer in command of
United States troops, moving them
every day to and from the CxO\ ei n
ment Barracks,
INTERFERRING in THE STRUGGLE,
under orders from somew here, until
at last the mob arises and goes to his
headquarters. It there makes a de
mand, disgraceful to them and to the
age in which we live; asks the officer
to preclaim martial law. The an
swer given him was not creditable
to his uniform or rank, but it was,
perhaps, just to the servile mob,
clamoring for tyrranny to be estab
lished on their bended necks. He
tells them to go away, or he will give
them the martial law of grape and
canister. These are strange events in
a land of law. * * * . *
And at last there’eomes this morn
ing a declaration of war. I know not
whether the intelligence is true or
false ; I know not w hether the Louis-
tar
habits of issuing proclamations for
amusement and not for purposes of
battle. ,Be that as it may,
THE GOOD NAME OF THE WHOLE
COUNTRY IS DISGRACED ;
public decency is outraged; the lead
er of one faction proclaims that he j
will at a given hour proceed to open !
one branch of the Legislature by j
force of ai ms. With due military ;
regard to the safety of non-eoml*at
ants, he tolls them to close their hous- ‘
es and places of business and to keep j
out of the streets. This is a deciara- j
tion of civil war. This time it is not j
a slave-holders’ rebellion ; it Ls a war
of two wings of a great and powerful j
political party. Has it commenced ? j
Who can toll me ? I do not know
whether it has or not, but if this mat
ter does not call for prompt action on i
our part, then I can conceive of no j
outrage on American soil that should j
challenge the attention of the Ameri- j
can Congress.
Sir, this trouble arises from the
system upon which Congress has act
ed in reconstructing the South. * *
I have been in the South this sum
mer in connection with an investi
gating committee, and I assert that
THE WORST GOVERNMENTS IN THE
WHOLE WORLD, WITHOUT ANY
EXCEPTION, ARE THE GOVERN
MENTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES
AT THIS HOUR.
There is nothing comparable to them.
They are unparralled for their iniqui
tv, their infamy, and their outrages.
Their law-makers are incompetent to
make laws. With legislatures, four
fifths of whom can neither read nor
write, and who pay not even a poll
tax, enacting Jaws and levying un
told millions of taxes upon the prop
erty of the States, what can you ex
pect except the W'orst government
beneath the sun ?
This state of things exists not mere
ly in Louisiana, but everywhere else
in the South in the States that have
been reconstructed.
IN VIRGINIA,
it is true, that matters arc not so bad,
but she, too, has been plunged into an
enormous debt since reconstruction
commenced. It is the fault of a per
nicious system. You have called into
power an influence and a class which
would paralyze and destroy any State
that exists upon earth. In Louisiana
to-day it is a contest between two fac
tions of the same party, but there is
this excuse for one of those factions;
that it represents the popular seti
ment rebelling against unmitigated
and unbearable wrongs. The present
State government of Louisiana has
CRUSHED THE PEOPLE
by force of its infamous laws, and by
the imposition of taxes, until the in
stinct of resistance is too strong to be
longer repressed. Ido not say that
the one party in this contest is better
than the other, or that one party
would no better in control of the Gov
ernment than the other, but
THE WARMOUTH ADMINISTRATION
HAS RUINED THE STATE.
To-day there is a debt of between
fifty and one hundred million dollars
resting upon the State of Louisiana
and the eity of New Orleans. At last
this administration of pillage and
crime has provoked the sentiment of
the State to resist it. You see this
fact recognized by Governor War
mouth’s own conduct. When a few
days since the United States troops
ceased to pass back and forward from
the barracks of the Government to
the Mechanic’s Institute of the city
of New Orleans, when they were told
at a late hour from here to stay in
their quarters, and Governor War
mouth found himself stripped of their
support, he then hastened to have re
pealed a list of obnoxious laws, a sys
tem of infernal and oppressive legis
lation. I say to the House that I
care little what becomes of either one
of these factions, but it does matter
much to the character of the Ameri
can Government whether a State shall
disorganize itself and dissolve into
elements of anarchy. As well al
most might you install the Barataria
bay pirates again upon the coast of
the Gulf of Mexico as to allow these
people their unbridled sway. What
the remedy is involves too elaborate
and too vast a question for me to
enter on now.
Upon some more fitting and appro
priate occasion, I may submit my
views upon that subject. In my de
liberate judgment the governments
have been built in the Southern
States, if you will allow me the
expression,
UPON THE WRONG END.
The pyramid stands, not upon its
base, but upon its apex. You have
founded your governments upon the
vice, upon the ignorance, upon the
irresponsibility of mankind; not upon
the .stability, not upon the intelli
gence, not upon the classes that are
responsible for the peace, order, and
welfare of society, and now you are
reaping from your system. “Do
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
from thistles?” No; neither will
you gather the blessings of good gov
ernment from a system which has
brought into power and place the
worst and most ignorant classes of
the human raee. I allude not merely
to the black element of the South ;
I allude also to the opportunity Yvhich
your plan of reconstruction gave to
ADVENTURERS FROM THE NORTH,
and to the vicious and corrupt of all
races and from all quarters of the
world. I allude to that feature of
your policy, disfranchising the intel
ligence and the virtue of the South,
which a distinguished gentleman
from South Carolina, a few days ago
in this Capitol, declared had made
his State government a disgrace to
the civilized world. It is confined,
however, to no one State. The evils
of your legislation are spread broad
cast throughout all the South. It sa
lutes the eye everywhere. Your
failure to establish peace and pros
perity is universal. * * * *
Perhaps there are gentlemen on the
opposite side of this chamber who ex
pect to derive much party benefit
from the recent investigation into the
outrages in the South. In this they
will lie mistaken. It is true there
have been crimes there, crimes that
have made my blood boil with indig
nation when I heard their recital.
But when I traced them hack to their
causes I found simply
BAD GOVERNMENT MAKES BAD CIT
IZENS.
You made the Governments and
the consequences belong to you.
When did oppressive and corrupt
governments fail to beget lawlessness
and crime ? If vou expect to gain
votes by these issues in the com
ing campaign, you may lay aside
that delusion. It will not be so.
While you will prove that individual
offences have been committed; that
in some instances the courts have
been paralyzed and have not done
their duty"; while you will prove
midnight" scourgings, and whippings,
and outrages of that kind, all of which
I denounce and abhor, yet you will
find at the same time that by your
policy and your system
YOU HAD ALL THE POWERS OF GOV
ERNMENTS UNDER YOUR CONTROL;
you had the courts, in which your
judges could not take a seat upon the
bench without taking your test-oath,
and in which all the officials had to
join him. The jurors belonged to
you, and all the officers of the courts
were under your control.
You will find that instead of their
assisting to execute the laws of the
country, in many instances they stood
in the way of their just administra
tion. You will find, in the case of
the
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA,
that out of four hundred and forty
six applications for pardon, he granted
perhaps three hundred and fifty; less
than one hundred applications were
denied. Pardons were granted in
many instances before trial. He arm
ed criminals with pardon m advance,
that they might go into court and
plead them at the bar and return
free, again to prey upon society. Ihe
people of the country will find in
these reasons which I have given
powerful excuses for the evils and
riots and crimes that have prevailed,
I am sorry to say, in some sections of
the South.
