THE STANDARD & EXPRESS. 8. 11. SMITH & CO., Proprietors. J. W. ITAKUIS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. CARTERSVILLE, GA.: THURSDAY, MAY Bth, 1873. Some of the papers and their cor respondents are advising the people of the South to extend to Gen. Grant a son of generous political confidence, and laying aside all party opposition, look to him as the surest source of friendship, protection and support in this the day of her adversity. Such advice, we should think, would fall most melodiously upon the ears of the good State of Louisiana; and as further evidence of the matter allud ed to, we congratulate these sage ad visers upon the fact, that a negro has just boon appointed Postal agent on the Western & Atlantic Rail Road. The matter of congratulation is that the darkie is preferred for office, both in Louisiana and Georgia, to the white man by the President, for which let us be thankful, hoping for a few more favors of the same kind. Miss Susan Elx rhart, the unfortun ate, misguide and accomplice of Spann in the murder of his wile, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, by hang ing, at Preston, in Webster county, on the second day of this month. The strong and repeated appeals made to Gov* rnor Smith for Executive clem ency though exciting ali bis sympa thy asi a man, in behalf of the. poor gh l, he was, from his stern sense of justice, and the sob rim oath of his of fice, compelled to deny. We can conceive ol no more distressing posi tion than that of his Excellency in this remarkable case, and while we deeply sympathise-with the doomed culprit, we could but think, at the same time, that Governor {smith was entitled to quite as much pity as the unfortunate woman whose life was suspended upon his decision. His conduct in the case evidences Ids in dexible regard of public duty, and so far from bringing down upon him the condemnation of the people, should elevate him in their respect, as the watchful guardian of the law, too true to its demands and his oath of office to he swerved by the appeals of even his own manly and generous heart. Heaven grant that this may be the last case in our State which shall ever demand so wretched a sight as the execution of a female. WATER WORKS AND INSUR ANCE. We are glad to know that some steps have lately been taken towards establishing a system of works for supplying the city of Cartersville with water, and that the report of Messrs. Hunt it MoClatehey, engin eers, published in our issue of week before last, pronounces the scheme cheap and practicable. No town or ■ Xvi s'odlC pTn'n by the City Council. The most casu al examination will satisfy any one that for all means of extinguishing a fire in the city, outside of the aid which the Hook & Ladder Company may he able to render, we are abso lutely at fault. This Company may, and will be, of service in an emer- policy where such companies can work, but nothing short of a good supply of water, convenient and al ways at hand, can answer the fearful necessities which are liable to come upon us at any time. The cry of ex pense and taxation, we know, is al ways raised whenever any work of the sort may be contemplated, but vv| think that a little reflection would convince the most opposed to the plan, that the very best economy which can be exercised by all the cit izens, is to provide means sufficient to protect their property, and save it from the devouring flames. There is such a thing as being penny wise and ~poiK#l foolish; to neglect this great interest, strikes us as the very su premacy of folly. Many gentlemen tn our midst believe that the city is able materially to aid by subscription towards building railroads for the benefit of the town, and while we do not think it necessary for us, at this time, to give expression of opinion upon this subject, yet we may be al lowed to assert that if it be so, surely Cartersville is able to devise and per fect a system of water works which shall cause the property which weal ready have to be protected. We are attached to no scheme or plan, but urge the Council to carry out and perfect the intention foreshadowed in the survey heretofore made by the city engineers. It is not necessary for us to enumerate the very many benefits which would accrue to our whole population, should this be done, but the late action of the board of Insurance Companies as to the rate per <-ent. charged property hold ers, is sufficient to make us all put on our thinking caps, and go to doing something which may in part relieve us of the heavy taxation which they are pleased to levy upon us. Just think of it; from li up to 7 per cent, is assessed upon the buildings in the business part of tiie city. 'litherto these same buildings have been as sured at much lower rates than the above, and policies not yet expired, which were taken before the visit of the hoard alluded to, on last week, still bear those figures. It is a little difficult to see why a building or buildings winch never yet before have borne such a premium, should all at once be found to be so dangerous as to require such rates as are not only enormously exacting, not to say ex tortionate, but which, in some cases, must amount to prohibition. They are the game buildings that they were last year, and the year before that, and always hitherto, and if the rates, as taken by the agents then, were always considered sufficient to satisfy them as to the risks taken, surely the same rates now ought to be considered and taken as umpjv suffieient. But no, the board has visited us and at their touch “presto, vedo, change,” and our rates are now almost as high as was a sack of salt during the war. What with insur ance, and town tax, and county tax, and State tax, and repairs, the own-; ers of property in the business part j of the toWn, at the end of the year will hardly l>e able to save falling in debt after all rents are paid, with in terest, and unless something can be done to remedy the evil, much high er rents will have to be charged rents which are high enough now— or else the owners will have to aban don the companies and take their own risks by being their own insur. ers. The association controls the whole thing, and a national associa tion at that, and whatever they may determine to be done, shall be done, and the people, owners of property, who are obliged to insure, must, of necessity, submit to their decision, reminding us of Bill Stallings, in Longstreet’s fight, when Bob Dur ham had him down and was most unmercifully drubbing him; the crowd seeing his sufferings, cried out, “lay still and take it, Bill, you are bleeged to.” And just so is the case in hand. What necessity, by the way, there ever was or ever could be for an institution like the Southern Mutual Insurance and Trust Compa ny, located at Athens, and under the management of most excellent and competent gentlemen, for going into a National Association, it is difficult to perceive. Wc can readily see why Northern companies, who have lost j largely, it may be, by the great fires of Boston and Chicago, and the like, | might combine upon a scale of inex- j orable rates, for the purpose of speedy j repairs of losses, but why we should be brought in to pay the piper, is more than we can just now easily perceive. What with rinks.and rings, and taxes, national, State, county and | municipal, with the burthen of exor- i bitant insurance rates superadded, verify we have a load to carry which might well test the strength of strong er people than ourselves, not to say any thing of the discriminating and onerous taxation imposed upon all the Cherokee people by the lessees of the Western & Atlantic Rail Road. All this is hard to bear, and still we must; yet surely it can be no crime to murmur, The flesh will quiver When the pincers tear, The blood will follow When the knife is driven. So far then as the action of the City Council can alleviate the burthens of our citizens in this matter of insur ance, we insist that it be had, and that right speedily. Put the fire de fences in good order, ample and suffi cient in every respect; let all danger ous buildings be removed, and no more of like character erected. We have no doubt these companies will always get as much as they can, for this is an age of greed. Let our au thorities so arrange that they may put up with as little as possible. respect of the constitutionality of the homestead and relief laws. These complaints are doubtless just. There were hardships inaugurated in the passage of these laws, and there will be hardships in carrying out the act which blots them from the statute hook. These laws, while they grant ed a certain sort of relief to one class, ignoring another class equally as large, were ruinous in their effect and absolutely unjust; and the Supreme Court never did a more graceful or desirable act than when it plucked these Radical fungi by the roots. But those who had taken refuge under these nulified laws have still a door to open for relief in the Bank rupt law, as has already been stated in these columns. For the informa tion of such, we print the following from the Atlanta Constitution, sign ed by Mr. Lawson Black, Register in Bankruptcy: A man who is unable to pay his debts and owes more than three hun dred dollars, can fill his petition in the United Slates District Court in Bankruptcy. The party filing peti tion has to pay all costs, which varies according to the case and number of creditors. If there are sufficient as sets, he gets back all cash except fifty dollars and his counsel fees. And ail of his property is converted into mon ey by bis assignee in Bankruptcy, except two thousand dollars worth of real estate at gold value, and one thousand dollars worth of personal property at the same value, and five hundred dollars worth of household and kitchen furniture, and other ar ticles, all of which must be set apart by the assignee as property of the debtor in fee simple. The debtor gets a discharge from all debts contracted before the first day of January, 1869. And if his assets in the bands of the assignee arc equal to fifty cents on the dollar of his debts contracted since said date, which are proven in court, he will be disharged from all his debts. And if all or a large por tion of the assets are taken by older liens or debts it will make no differ ence, and he will be discharged from all his debts. And he is entitled to the exemption before mentioned against liens, judgments, mortgages and debts, whether contracted before or since January 1,1869. — 8 av News A NEW PRINTING MACHINE. A GEORGIA INVENTION. We have been shown the model of anew printing press, invented by Col. B. F. Sawyer and Dr. R. I Hampton of this city, and upon which a patent has been granted. Its general features are a return to first principles in the art of printing; viz: the platen impression but with substantial and material improve ments on the old method, which we doubt not will commend themselves to the mind of every printer. The most important features of this new invention are that it prints both sides of the sheet simultaneously, some thing that has never yet been accom plished, except on the cylinder press es; the saving in the wear and tear of type used on this press over all other presses; correctness of register; the facility of working it; its general adaptation to all kinds of printing, and particularly to book and fine work, where a perfect impression is required ; ease in putting on or off “forms ;” two to ten thousand im pression per hour, according to the j power used. The inkingaparatus is ! anew and novel invention, and one j that, we believe, will give the most j perfect satisfaction in this depart- ! nient, as heretofore great trouble and ! dissatisfaction, in easily obtaining | perfect ink distribution, has exis- j ted. — Home Commercial. [For tbe Standard & Express.] Messrs. Editors: I see in your last issue, an article headed, “Corn for the South,” stating the fact that the four States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, are compelled to buy yearly about fifty millions bushels of corn from the Northwest ern producers, for which they pay, on an average, nearly fifty four mil lions of dollars. But the grain grow ers of the West get less than sixteen millions of this fifty-four that the South pays. The other thirty-eight millions are consumed in the trans portation. And just now, I think, Is a good time to show the Importance of the Great Western Canal. The length of this canal from St. Louis to Savannah will probably be j not far from a thousand miles; we I will for convenience call ita thousand | miles. Now the lowest rate at which j railroads can afford to carry freight j is about one and a half cents per ton per mile, but they seldom carry for ! that, very commonly for two, and of ten at two and a half cents per ton per mile, but say as an average two cents. Well, at two cents per ton per mile for a thousand miles, will make S2O per ton or 00 cents per bush el for coni and wheat, so much for transportation by railroad. Please’ make calculations for yourselves.— Now please compare this with the cost of transportation by canal. The freight charges by the proposed canal from St. Louis would certainly not exceed the rates on the Erie and oth er large canals, but would most un questionably be less, for much of the distance will be by river, and that is still cheaper carriage than canal, but sav at canal rates, same as the Erie canal, which is four mills per ton per mile, and for a thousand miles will make four dollars per ton, or 12 cents p r bushel, freight charges, from St. Louis to Savannah, which is only I one-fifth of the common railroad i charges. I Now, Messrs. Editors, if you, or I any of your readers can find that I ! have made a mis-statement or erro- I neons calculation, you will do the public, as well as myself, a favor by I correcting it. But if these statements are true and the calculations correct, hit every reader think of the impor tance ol the proposed canal. I shall ! not enter into a lengthy argument to I prove the great importance of this j canal to the South, or to the Noi i.ii west, but wish to throw out a few hints for the reflect i<|i of your readers. As matters stand now, the great commercial mouth of the Mississippi Valley is up at Chicago, and the lakes, where the rivers, iaK.es, and canals are locked up in ice more than one-third of the year— the granaries and ware-houses of the Northwest groan with the productions of the soil from six to nine mouths every year, subject to waste and destruction, while the proposed canal through Georgia would afford a shorter, safer, and tetter route, in every respect, than by the lakes, and one that would be open every day in the year . Let this canal be opened, with sufficient ca pacity, and it will carry out more freight from the Mississippi Valley than all the railroads and canals now existing in the United States, and would materially enhance the value of every acre of land in from ten to fifteen States. 1 refer to the Northwest particularly in the above expression, but will not Georgia be benefitted also by this improvement? Not only the grain and meat she may purchase will be at less cost, but every other article we import, and particu larly coal, the freight on which from St. Louis to Cartersville would be less than s2.f>o per ton, or less than 2 cents' per bushel per hundred miles wher ever carried on canal, and coal is be- of this canal will be within the State ot Georgia, and full two-thirds, or three-fourths ol the work and outlay, is it not passing strange that our peo ple, near the contemplated line of this canal, should manifest such total indifference to the subject. They surely have not considered that this I improvement, in its progress of con struction, wdl bring into the State trom thirty to forty millions of dol lars, and our merchants, farmers, and tiadesmen ot every kind, and men ot all professions and avocations will be recipients to a large extent, direct ly or indirectly, and would, from sheer sell interest, if from no higher motive, have looked upon this work with a degree of enthusiasm, but in stead of this, it is spoken of with per fect indifference; some even speak of it as impractinahle — utopean. Why do we not find scores of able pens taking hold of this subject through out the State, (surely its importance demands it,) and call the people to think ot it, to examine its bearings tendencies and results, as a mutlerof great national importance, and to Georgia in particular. Now is the time to attend to this matter. The people of the North west will not, cannot rest until they have a moreaccessableoutlet t>. mar ket for the hundreds of millions of bushels ot grain and other products that their tortile soil will produce. Railroads, if multiplied a hundred fold, would not answer the purpose— water carriage alone will suffice—the most direct line to the ocean, Jyist of the Florida Reefs, is the route desir ed No other route possesses so ma ny advantages and so few obstacles as this one through Georgia, and can it he possible that the supineness of our people toward this improvement would suffer this route to ho aban doned, and that through Virginia adopted, with its long tunnel through the Alleghany mountain, and when completed, would be closed with ice tor months every year. Governor smith shows a correct, comprehensive view of this great en terprize, in calling a convention this month at Atlanta, aud deserves the hearty thanks of the entire country for his energetic efforts in its behalf. Doubtless fifteen or twenty of the Northwestern States will award him honor, whether Georgia appreciates him or not. Will it not disparage us in the eyes of our neighbors if we manifest indifference to a subject of such vital interest to ourselves, and of such national importance as the Great Western Canal? A Citizen. A correspondent of the Greensboro Herald suggests to Governor Smith, through ttiat paper, the anpointment of an officer of the State to take the statistics of the names of the qwners and the number and average age of the former slaves of the State, so that this partial census of the civil condi tion of the State, at the time of hos tilities, or at the close of hostilities, between the two sections of this country may be authoritatively pre served in the Secretary of State’s of fice. The tax books ought to show all the information necessary. Mr. Stripling, of Marietta, says in a note to the Journal: Last year I made on a piece of ground six feet square, four bushels of Irish potatoes. I dug and measured them with my own hands. At the rate of Mr. Stripling’s crop as stated above, one acre of ground will yield 4,840 bush els of potatoes. By selling the pota toes at one dollar per bushels (and that is a reasonable price) would be the yield of $1,840 for one acre of ground, TIIE NFWS IN GENERAL. The first corn tassel has made its appearance in Brunswick. Macon has opened her eyes on a watermelon of this year’s growth. Ben. Harper, of Hancock county, has been sent to the lunatic asylum. Last Sunday, John Phinizy, Jr., a well known citizen of Augusta, died at the residence of his father. The President has apjiointed Amos T. Akerman, of Georgia, one of the Board of Visitors for 187.* for the West Point Military Academy. DEATII OF GOV- SHA RK EY. Washington, April 20. ExGov ernor Sharkey, of Mississippi, died this morning, aged 83. The wholesale liquor house of Shephard, Baldwin A Go., of Atlanta, lias made an assignment, 'five “pres sure of tiie times,” she Sun says was the cause. Judge Erskine has appointed Hon. Amos T. Akerman the assignee in bankruptcy of Enoch Steadman, bankrupt. His assets are said to amount to about $140,000, so that the appointment is evidently a fat one for the ex-Attorney General. MARRIED.

WHAT EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS IS DOING—HIS OPINION OF BEN. HILL AND LONG STREET. Memphis, April JG, 1873. Our most noted citizen, Hon. Jef ferson Davis, is the most retiring and quiet person we have in our commu nity. lie devotes himself to the du ties of president of the Carolina Life Insurance Company, managing its affairs with great judgment and discretion. It is generally under stood that Mr. Davis is a good hater but this does not imply that lie is not a very genial and more tiian or dinarily goodnatured person. Pos sessing a wonderful store of knowl edge, mid an exceedingly happy fa culty of telling what he [knows, makes the ex-President of the con fereraey an acquaintance to besought after. If he is not in the habit" of j pardoning an enemy, neither does lie ever forget a friend. MR. DAVIS’ OPINION OF BEN. II JR I, AND LONG STREET. I Not long since I was present when j a gentleman remarked to Mr. Davis that the political course of Be*. Dili, of Georgia, was to say the least of it! to be regretted, “Russibly,” ans wered Mr. Davis, “Hill might } iave pursued a course in recent politics that I would have liked better, if I cared much about such things ; but 1 will be far from censuring the man for anything he may do now who stood by me when all others forsook our cause. It was in those trying times that he proved himself the truest of the true. His pen and his voice were on my side when I most needed them, and they were equal to ten thousand bayonets, and I shall not forget his service.” The other endeavored to support his position by citing Longstreet’s case arguing that Longstreet had been a good soldier in a good cause, yet his late political antecedents are sufficient to destroy any and all former good opinions formed of him. Mr. Davis did not think th'c case exactly par allel. Longstreet was an ordinary man, whose place could have been supplied by a thousand persons. Hill was a great man and a power. BOARD OF EDUCATION, B A RTO W CO UNTY. The Board of Education of Bartow County, desires to call public atten tion to the great interests of the Free school system of Instruction provided for by our Legislature. The profound and immovable apathy of our people to this important public interest, and most conservative element and eco nomical branch in the whole machin ery of our grand old Commonwealth is amazing. That parents and teach ers, both white and colored, may be incited to some interest in our scheme of public Instruction, the Board takes pleasure in stating that there will be $270,000 of State school funds for dis tribution in .July. This will be ap portioned to the several couuties in the State, on the basis of their respec tive school population. Bartow, from a recent enumeration, has a school population of 5322, of which number 3800 are whites, and 1522 are Golored. The Board, at its meeting, on the Ist Tuesday in May, took the necessary action to insure the due apportion ment of the State school fund, and al so to open and continue schools thro’- ought the County, for not less than 3 months. The attention of teachers and parents is called to this fact, and their hearty co-operation is solicited. By order of Board of Education. D. V 7. STOKELY, Pres’t. Theo. E. SMITH, C. Sch, Com.
