STANDARD AND EXPRESS,! CARTERRVILLE, OA., FEB. i, 1872. *6T Heading matter on every page 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 per day. 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.’ ” AN ACT To change the time of holding the Su perior Courts of the Cherokee Circuit Sec. 1.

The Society is com posed principally of the students of ! Cumming High School. The follow ing arc* the officers and other mem j bers of the Society: Downs 1). McConnel, President; G. P. Estes, Vice President; 11. Strick land, Treasurer; M. J. Lewis, Secre tory ; A. J. Bonjurant, Critic. Rev. It. A. Lakes, E. W. Ballinger, A. S. Rogers, George Moore, G. L. Bell, L. M. Turner, T. R.

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?

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. Gustujs J Orr, 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. yew Advertisements.
