THE STANDARD & EXPRESS. H. If. BMITII A CO., Proprietors. J. W. HARRIS}EDITOR-m-CHIEF. J CABTERSVILLE, GA.: THURSDAY, MARCH 1873. News In General. A Catholic priest was married at Bt. Louis the 25th tilt. Spencer has been sworn in as Sen ator from Alabama. Colonel Tom Scott is said to con trol $970,000,000 worth of railways. Twenty deaths from meningitis in Cuthbert during its prevalence there. Chattanooga has $3,000,000 inves ted in industrial establishment. The legislature of Rhode Island has legalised marriage between blacks and whites. The sale of cotton in Atlanta the present season will foot up over $2,- 400,000. The Kennesaw Mills, of Marietta, have turned out ninety thousand barrels of flour this season. linke Michigan has been complete ly frozen across at Milwaukee, where it is eighty-five miles wide. The night of the 28th, by a vote of 22 to 20, the federal senate sustained the Kellogg usurpation in Louisia na. __ Mr. J. G. Thrower, of Atlanta, has invented a newmeterial for plas tering. It is called mastic, and the older it grows the harder it gets. It is stated that Governor Smith refused to sign the bill passed by the Legislature making the Military In stitute at Marietta a State institu tion Anew village on the Macon and Western Railroad, under the name of Milner, is growing with remarka ble rapidity. The 25th ult., by a vote of 22 to 19, the radical federal senate refused to admit negroes to the army, on the same terms as whites. The passage of the social equality bill by the Mississippi Legislature lias closed all the restaurants in Jack son. ———- --««*••• ——■ The spring style of ladies’ hats has arrived. There are two classes —the gypsey for brunettes and the gopher for blondes. Poor Nashville! for many years she has suffered from the pres ence of ex-Governor Foote, and now old Sam Bard goes there to start an other “«ave Grant paper.” Newspaper Postage.— -The Sen ate amendment to the appropriation bill requiring postage on exchanges, was not concurred in by the House, and failed. Oats sown last fall are considered ruined by the cold weather. Thus far it has been impossible to sow any spring oats; so the oat crop of this section may be considered a failure. The Indiana senate has passed a bill to make it unlawful for a keeper of billiard tables to allow minors to play or to congregate about the room where others are playing. Congress fixed salaries as follows: •—President $25,000 ; chief justice $lO,- 500; justices of tiie supreme court, cabinet officers, speaker of the house, and vice president $10,000: members of congress $7,500 —an increas except for president. The Calhoua Times lias changed hands. Mr. W. R. Rankin, who founded the paper and has managed it successfully, retires, and Messrs. W.C. Rice and D. li. Freeman take his place. Another Good Man Gone.— Hon. Alfred Iverson, ex-Senator of Georgia in the Congress of the Uni ted States, died in Macon on Wednes day morning, March sth, at 4 o’clock. His remains were taken to Columbus for interment. He had been iu de clining healtfi for some months. The Legislature of Massachusetts hasjust rejected a bill allowing par ties to vote unable to read or write. Yet this consistant State of the Pil grim Fathers has concentrated all her efforts for the past seven years in forcing the South to allow ignorance to control the ballot box. The New York Comrmrcicd Adver tiser remarks ; “If you had avoided rum.” said a wealthy though not in telligent grocer to his neighbor, “your early habits, industry and in tellectual abilities would now have enabled you to ride in your carriage.’ “And if you had never sold |rum for me to buy,” replied the merchant “you would have been my driver.” To show how much the working of raw material affects its usefulness, someone has arranged the following: A bar of iron, worth $5, worked into horse shoes, is worth $lO 50; made into needles, is worth $355 ; made into penknife blades, it is worth $384 ; and into balance springs of watches, it is worth $530,000, Good Hunting.— The Columbus Bun says: Four gentlemen in a hunt the other day, killed 102 doves. An other gentleman reports that in the ante-bellum days a party of six kill ed iu twenty-four hours 1,175 doves, nine owls, three squirrels and one possum. The informant swears to it. Another tells how, in two shots, in Florida, a buggy load of brent was killed and captured. Pleasant Rumors.— The Colum bus Sun mentions among others a. float in that city, one to the effect .that a wealthy manufacturer now |visitiug there, intends selling out his jteterests iu Massachusetts and build p»g new mills in Columbus; apd an other that the Merri wether Warm Bpriugs has t>oen bought by a North ern company, and the extensive im provements will be made at Unit wa 1 TTTE LEGISLATURE AND THEIR ACCUSERS. Much has been said in various com munications in the public prints, by private* persons and editorially, about the needs of the State, the pressing want of money to meet State debts falling due, together with the accru f ing interest and the current expenses [ofthe Government for the year, ac [ compauied by the declaration that the Legislature has adjourned with out coming up to their responsibili tios, thus leaving all our financial af fairs in causelessemharrasSlnent. In short, that the Legislature has failed to do what it might have done, and that the members of that body are deserving of public condemnation.— It is easy to make charges, but it is not quite so easy to maintain them, and it is hard of belief in the absence of proof, that our Representatives have been guilty of such dereliction as is charged. Many of the members of that body, in both houses, are men of ability, and all, we believe, have as much at heart the good of the State, as any of those who flippantly bring those injurious charges against them. If we are not mistaken it is under stood that Gov. Smith stated that it would be necessary that the sum of $2,500,000 should be raised to meet the State necessities. On the 11th day of February, if we are correctly inform ed, this fact was made known to the Legislature by his Excellency, only five or six days before the time when it was known that they must, by op eration of law, adjourn; and this too, without any advice, or recommenda tion, or the giving of any counsel or other information to either house up on the subject, the members being left to devise by their own ingenuity and wisdom some means to meet the public wants. The sum stated as necessary to be raised was, as before mentioned, $2,500,000. Has this been done? Let us see. The taxable property of the State is in thip connection, authoritatively put down at $2-30,000,000. Upon this the Legislature has levied 4£ per cent., making the sum of of $1,125,000. In addition to this, a bill was passed au thorizing the issue of $1,200,000, 8 per c nt. bonds, to be disposed of in mar ket, a measure under the lead of one of the best financiers of the State, and one of the ablest members of the Leg islature, Mr. Nutting, from Bibb.— These bonds, it is alleged and believ ed, can be readily disposed of, if not at par, certainly at 10 per cent, dis count, and this upon the authority of many of the best banking and busi ness men of the State, as well as of Mr. Nutting and the committee of fi nance and the Legislature. If this be done, we have then, in addition to the proceeds from taxable proper ty, the further sum of $1,080,000. — The rent of the State Road, at $25,- 000 per month, brings in the further sum of $300,000, all of which, when added together, make the sum of $2,- 505,000. The amount declared neces sary to be raised is $2,500,000, and the reasonable and almost certain amount, as certain as any scheme could make the raising of money, is found, under the provisions made by the Legisla ture, to be $2,505,000. Wo are at a loss, upon this statement of facts, to see the ground upon which these charges are made against the honored and patriotic representatives of the people. If the necessary diligence and wisdom is exercised in the mat ter, it is alleged that little or no diffi culty will be met with in raising the funds necessary and provided for by the Legislature, but if in a spirit of opposition, this should not be done, as it is insisted it can and ought to be done, then it will remain that the State will suffer in her reputation, and a greater cry will be raised than ever against the incompetency or ob stinacy of the Legislature; and worse than all, a prolonged and active pressure be brought to bear upon the Legislature-to accept the proposition of the Bond-holders, and force the people of the State to pay this fraud ulent papei, not one dollar of which should ever go out of their pockets. We warn the people of this very thing, and hope and believe that they will be too much alive to their inter ests to be thus unwarily forced into the payment of these Bullock and Kimball debts, unlawfully contract ed, and knowingly purchased, with their badges of fraud, by the present holders. In our view of the case of the bonds, there is not an innocent holder of one of them in all the world, and we believe that justice demands that not one of them should ever be recognized by the people of Georgia. We do not know how Gov. Smith stands on this question, but can only add the opinion that on a failure on his part to see to it that all active dil igence is used in raising the money by the means provided by the Legis lature, that he will be largely respon sible for any successful future effort which may be made by the Bond holders for the payment of the bonds. We say to the people, that this mat ter is only adjourned for the present, and the next Legislature will be hur ried, and lobbyed, and worried, and all outside and inside measures used to carry out this scheme of the stock jobbers and their helpers, to the det riment of the poor people of Georgia. Heaven knows we are poor enough now, do not let us suffer ourselves to be fleeced yet again. Distinctive Fire in New Or leans. —From the New Orleans Picayune we learn that the Cresent City has been visited by a destruct ive conflagration. On last Thursday in the afternoon the flames broke out consuming six solid blocks of the city comprising two hundred and twenty three homes, and distroying proper ty to the amount of millions of dol lars. The Picayune says the lire itself defies discretion, and seemed one vast sheet of smoke and flame stretching for nearly a mile, and ris ing in a dense body to the heavens obscuring the sky and sun. Editors who desire to go to Carters ville during the summer can get their hats chalked at the Bartow House by stating, for one month, that Mrs. E. M. Stovall, formerly of Augusta, lias “BARTOW.” •* I An article over the above signature, some few issues ago, appeared in the Atlanta Constitution, reflecting se verely upon Governor Smith in the matter of his late appointments. It has nerer been copied into this paper, for the reason that we are not dispos ed in such way to give expression to any view which might be calculate 1 to reflect injuriously upon an honored publieoffieer, without personal knowl edge of the facts, and for the further object of disavowing any connection with, or knowledge of, tiie article by the editor of this paper, or any one refuted to him, before its appearance in the Constitution. We have regarded, and still think, ail this war between the friends of Gov. Smith and the Senate, ns out of place and productive of little or no good. We hold that the Governor has the right, absolutely, to nomi nate, and the Senate the equal abso lute right to ratify or reject the nom inations. The presumption is that both will discharge their duty, and that they do it, and we should feel it rather partaking of spite and person al malignity to abuse either for doing that which, under the Constitution, they are sworn to do. So far as we know, the appointments made by his Excellency, are good, and meet generally with public favor, and we trust will answer the expectations of the Governor when he made them. Were we Governor, we should, in all this affair of appointments, follow our own counsel, independently of any and of every man, fearlessly and honestly. The presumption is that Gov. Smith has so done, and wo are ready to abide his action. The pre sumption also is that the Senate act ed from the same motives, and were governed by the same just and up right principles, and we have no word of condemnation to pass upon them. Here we think this matter ought to rest. In conclusion, we have only to say that the difficulty in the case arises more from the Con stitution investing the power of ap pointment and ratification as it does, than from any other cause. It gives too much power into the hands of any Governor, and will always be a prolific source of crimination and re crimination. A modification of the mode, or of the power, might, per haps, relieve the whole matter, by making it obligatory upon the Gov ernor to make appointments upon the address of two-thirds of the Senate. Mainly, we have written this arti oleTo disabuse any, who might sup pose, as has been intimated to us, that the editor of this paper, or Mr. T. W. Milner, had any connection or knowledge of the article in question, before its publication in the Constitu tion, for such is not the tact. The Senator from this District, the Hon. John W. Wofford, voted for the Governor’s appointees, and we fully approve his conduct. REV. L. J. DAVIES. The services at the Methodist E. Church in this place, are every Sab bath, both in the morning and at night, invested with unusual interest. Rev. Lewis J. Davies is the pastor in charge of the station, and fully sus tains the reputation which he has ac quired of being one of the very ablest of the North Georgia Conference preachers. His sermons are practical, original, eloquent; his manner natu ral, easy and attractive, while his voice, though a little weak, is rich and melodious, llis congregations have increased largely since his arri val, and a serious and marked atten tion is always given him from the beginning to the end of his discours es. A people favored with such pul pit ministrations are fortunate indeed, and may look, under the blessing of God, for a successful year, by means of the able pulpit deliverances and diligent pastoral offices of tiiis able and eminent preacher of the Gospel. The Methodist Church in this place is now, on every Sabbath, a point of attraction to a growing and interested congregation, and we doubt not will so continue while under the care of its eloquent pastor. The Superior Court for this county, is now in session. Judge Harvey, the presiding Judge, has won golden opinions from all good men, proving himself a terror to evil doers, and in all respects, a wise and faithful ad ministrator of the law. The new Solicitor, Mr. liackett, urbane in his manners, polite and gentlemanly in his deportment, brings to the discharge of his office a zeal and ability which reflects great credit upon himself, and fully justi fies the wisdom of his appointment by Gov. Smith. The Judge soon re tires from office, the Solicitor has just commenced his term. The one goes out with our respect and admiration, the other we wish a brilliant and suc cessful career. A New York correspondent of the Atlanta Sun, says of New York City: There are 400,000 Germans atid Irsh in the city. There are more Irsh in New York than there are in the great city of Belfast in Ireland. There are no less than seven thous and bar rooms in this city—enough to line Broadway on both sides with buildings from the Battery to Central Park—a distance of six miles. There are about seven hundred thousand persons in this city who do not go to church! The average atten dance at all the churches of every de nomination is only 240,000. No less than seven millions of dol lars are expeaded in this city annual ly in amusements. There are about 20,000 more women than men in the city, and about 28- 000 more young women than young men. These figures are suggestive to a reflecting mind. There are over 700 preachers and missionaries; seventy thousand chil dren who do not go to school, and ever thirty thousand of these children are vagrants! j It is estimated that about ten thous and strangers visit this city every day. Most of these are here on business—a ! few for pleasure. Some of them re ; main a lew weeks—most of them a j few days only. —* Late information from Laurens county, South Carolina, proves the Ku-Klux outrages reported to have i l>een commuted there, to be base fab i rications by Radical offlers.

THE “CREDIT MOBILER.” Be it known then in general pre mise that in the year 1804 the Con gress chartered the Union Pacific Railroad, and gave it SOO,OOO for every mile of the road that was built, and an immense amount of public lands ly ing along the line of road, and araout ing in value tomany millions dollars. A more corrupt job than this, in its original shape, was never engineered through any Congress; and the cor rupt ring who lobbied it have fatigued public indignation with their shock ing manipulation of the original bill. We will enumerate: Villainy Ist—As the amount-per mile of the government's indorse ment was greater than the possible expense of building the road, it was twisted and curved from an air-line until the netvssary number of miles was almost doubled, the government of course issuing its bonds, $60,000 for every mile. Villainy 2d—The directors of the road let out the contract for building the road to a part of their own body, representing of course, their own in terests, at an enormous figure. The adroitness of tiiis scheme will be seen by and by. Villainy 3d—But now we have the crowning rascality of the whole tiling. Os course, by reason of its is suance of Union Pacific bonds, the government was entitled to the first mortgage upon the Union Pacific road. But the Union Pacific Ring baffied Congress until it persuaded the members to declare the govern ment’s claim to the first mortgage null and void; in other words, to re lieve its claim to the second mortgage. The Directors then issued a series of fir.->t mortgage bond, with which it paid the contractors of the road, who, be it remembered, were part of its own body—members of the same Credit Mobilier. All the money rais ed on the government bonds was thus made complete profit, as the first mortgage bonds fully built the railroad. Villainy 4th. —The Directors then insisted that the government should pay the interest on these Bonds for the thirty years they had to ruu, al leging that of the maturity of the Bonds the Road would pay both principal and interest. The govern ment, through a lobbied Congress ac quiesced in this view, and assumed the interest. Now, the programme was mapped out, and the principal points arrang ed. In the meantime, the Directory and Contracting Ring (which calls it self the Credit Mobilier) go to work and sell all the millions of acres of rich lands granted to the railroad with its charter, and pocket the mon ey. At length the thirty years roll a round and the first mortgage bonds mature. The road declares itself unable to pay its bonds that the gov ernment has endorsed, or the interest it lias advanced. The government then pays its indorsed bonds, declar es the road bankrupt and orders it sold. It is put up for sale, but cannot possibly bring more than the amount of the first mortgage bonds, which are held by that part of the Credit Mobilier that contracted for and built the road. Hence they bid it in and hold it. They can then count up as profits: Ist. The total proceeds of the gov ernment bonds, as the first mortgage bonds fully paid for the building and equipment of the road. 2nd. The interest paid on the bonds are repudiated by the road, amount ing to about $120,000,000. 3d. The proceeds of the millions of rich loamy land brought into prom inence and value by the road itself. Quite a hansome trinity of sources, and quite an exhaustless source it luis proved. The government loses by this ope ration about $180,000,000. As to the connection of the Colfax clique with this dirty business it is just this: Oakes Ames, who managed the af fair would issue shares of Union Pa cific stock that didn't cost anything, and on which dividends of a thous and dollars or so were paid every month or so; the only recompense re quired for these being, as Ben But ler, (who if he dose steal spoons is quite a sharp fellow) says, to “prick up their ears, and open their eyes, whenever any legislation was needed for the Union Pacific Road.”—Atlan ta Herald. New Orleans, March G.—There has been quite a fight between the militia and police. After five min utes of sharp musketry, the police unlimbered the cannon, and fired three shots down Chartres slreet. The militia retreated, but were being strongly reinforced, when a staff of ficer of General Emery appeared on the scene, to whom the commander of the militia surrendered. General Emery acted, and the militia Gener al, Waggaman, surrendered in obe dience to the following: “Washington', March G. “To W. 11. Emery, Commanding: “The President directs you to pre vent any violent interference with the State government of Louisiana. Acknowledge receipt. “(Signed) W. T. Sherman, General.” One was killed and several wound ed. It is understood that Governor McEnery disavows having ordered the demonstration against the police. THE NEW LIEN LAW. The following is the Lien Law as amended by the last General Assem bly : An Act to regulate the Law of Liens in the Slate of Georgia: Section G. Be it farther enacted , That factors, merchants, landlords, dealers in fertilizers, and all other persons furnishing supplies, money, farming utensils or other articles of necessity to make crops, and also, all persons furnishing clothing and med icines, supplies or provisions for the support of families, or medical service, tuition or school books, shall have the same right to secure themselves from the crop of the year in which said things are done or furnished, as is now given by law, under the act of 18G5-G, to factors, with the following conditions: All of the lines provided for in this section must be created by special contract in writing, and every person giving a lien under this sec tion, having previously given a lien or leins under it, or any other lien, shall, when giving anew lien unden this section, on the same property to another person, inform such person, ifinterogated as to the facts, of the amount of such lien or liens, and to whom given; and such persons giv ing false information as to the facts aforesaid, shall be guilty of the same offense as that of persons fraudulently making a second deed, - under Sec. 4511 of the Code and punished as herein prescribed; and the liens crea ted under this section are hereby de clared to be superior in rank to other liens except liens for taxes, the gen eral and special liens of laborers, and the special liens to landlords, to which they shall be inferior, and shall, as between themselves and other liens not herein excepted, rank according to date, and shall only ex ist as liens on the crop of the year in which they were made.

CHILD MURDER POLK COUNTV TIIE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY—MISS NANNIE MAR CUS DP.OWNB HER INFANT CHILD—“THE OLD, OLD STORY.” Some live or six months since there came to the neighborhood of Cedar Town, iu Polk county, a beautiful young lady named Miss Nannie Mar cus, aged about eighteen years. She was from Social Circle, Walton coun ty. Ostensibly she was visiting rel atives and friends. She won, by her beauty and intelligence, the love and esteem of all with whom she was as sociated. MISS NANNIE MARCUS was the centre around which turned the gay and gallant young men of the neighborhood, until time told too plainly tnat Mias Nannie had not confined herself within the strict rules of propriety, but that she would, in a short time, be confined. About a month ago she gave birtli to A FINE BOY BABY, and Miss Nannie’s admirers dropped off like leaves after a cold, biting frost, and she was left alone with herself, her child, and her God. Let us hope that ‘*He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb” supported her in her great trial of self-banishment from the world and its social enjoymeuts with the friends and companions of her youth. But the sequel does not justify even this hope. Three days since her brother, WILLIAM MARCUS, about twenty-one years of age, arriv ed at Cedar Town, and went to the house at which his sister was staying. The brother and sister met—the sis ter subdued and penitent—the broth er calm and determined. Monday night the child was taken from the house and thrown into a stream run ning near. The young life was given thus treacherously back to the God who gave it, in the vain hope that its death would HIDE A MOTHER’S SHAME. As soon as arrangements could be made after the drowning, the brother and sister left to return to Social Cir cle. The absence of the child was so completely hidden that it was not known or suspected until about the time they left, or just afterwards.— However, the suspicions of the neigh bors were aroused, search made, and the BODY OF THE CHILD FOUND, and the inhuman mother and the more inhuman brother had made their escape. The authorities acted promptly, a warrant for the arrest of William and Nannie Marcus was obtained and placed in the hands of Messrs. J. H. Price and M. E. West, who at once gave pursuit, following them to Rome, but arrived in time to know that the birds had just a little the start of them for Atlanta. Having to wait for the next train, these gentle men determined to try the virtue of a telegram to the Chief of Police of the latter city in overtaking the fugi tives. This had the desired effect. WILLIAM AND NANNIE MARCUS were arrested and are held to await the arrival of Messrs. Price and West. These gentlemen left last night for Atlanta to take charge of their pris oners, and will return with them to Cedar Town. “THE SAME OLD STORY.” She loved not wisely but too well.— Her own weakness and the damnable perfidy of her betrayer, have wrecked her own soul and that of her brother, and made the declining years of a loving mother, whose child had been torn from the shattered roof-tree by the hand of the betrayer, a perfect hell on earth, and robbed her of that peace and happiness looked forward to with so much anxiety by the old people. To this, the Atlanta Constitution adds: The Commercial is incorrect in lo cating the residence of the accused. A reporter of the Constitution visited t hem while they were confined in the station house. They do not deny the birth of the child. The young man denied killing it, however. It ap pears that the young girl is hand some, and was in affluent circumstan ces. The “gay Lothario” in the case is said to have been a colored boy raised up in the family. It is sup posed that he lias “gone where the woodbine twineth.” New Advertisements. min din ARE MADE SOLELY BY THE Excelsior Marnfacturing; Company, ST.
