Civil nights in Arkansas.
Tho Arkansas Sonato has passed a

of color in public schools, and attaching
heavy penalties to inn-Uccpors, steam

Stokes JtcfuBcd a New Trial!
Judge Boardman has refused Stokes,
the slnyor of Jim Fisk, a new trial.—
Ho will not, however, bo executed on
the 27th of tills month, the day fixed,
Judgo Davis having granted n stay of
tho proceedings. Tho onso will now
go to a full bcuch for hearing, which
will probably involve a doluy of a cou
ple of months. We regard this action
tantamount to an acquittal.
Repeal of tho Dsnrjr bans.
Tho bill repealing tho usury laws of
the State of Georgia, has’passod both
houses of the Legislature, and only
awaits tho approval of the Governor
to become a law. We consider this an
unfortunate piece of legislation, and
trust the Governor will promptly place
his veto upon it. We hayc too many
money Shylocks now in the State, and
this bill, should it bcoome a law, will
only Inoronso their number, and no oiio
can tell tho amount of mischief they
. will do with their money when they
got under full headway.
A Truth Uttered by tho Trlbnnc.
After the fact that Caldwell, of
Kansas, bought his way into tho Sen
ate of tho United States, as has been
proven by an abundance of indisputa
ble testimony, that gentleman coolly
puts in a simple denial “on his honor
ns a Senntov.” Tho reply of the New
York Tribune to this specimen of aro-
tio effrontery is: “Wo regret to say
that tho honor of a Senator does not
rate high in the market this year.”—
The Tribune is right ono time in its
life. Tho greater the scoundrel tho
easier he can win a place in tho Uadi-
cal Senate. Tho U. S. Senate used to
bo noted for being filled with tho pur
est and best men in tho country. But
the worst get In now.
Redaction of Postage.
Tho bill to amend tho postal codo
adopted by the House, reduces letter
postage, after tho 1st of next January,
to two cents, and the postage on daily
newspapers from one dollar and twen
ty cents to sixty'oents. All printed
matter is to be propnid. The country
newspapors are mustering a goodly
number of petitions in opposition to
the proposition now pending in the
Senate to allow only such papers to
circulate free within county limits as
nro wholly printed therein. This outs
off tho newspapers using tho “patent
outsides” now bo common in various
parts of the country, and hence the ob
jection.
Bond
s been said and written ro-
on tho bogus bond question. It
on a fruitful theme for Georgia
, many of whom liavo written
urnns upon tho subject, and still
thoy nro not done. Ben. Iltil, Gen.
Bob Toombs, ox-Govornor Joe Brown
and othor prominent men in tho State
havo caught tbo Infeotion, and are lull
ing tho colnmnB of the Atlanta press
with their long, prosy opinions upon
tills subject. Theso bonds arc admit
ted by nil parties to bo Invalid—-by res-
olutlou of tho Legislature in December,
1871,they were examined by acommlt-
teo composed of such men as Garnett
MoMillan and Tbos. J. Simmons, and
tho investigation, which was thorough,
allowed them to bo fraudulent—then
wherefore this idle twaddlo nbout whnt
the State ought to do in tho premises?
If illegal, as declared, wo hold that no
part of them should be paid, nnd wo
can seo no sense wbntcvor In arguing
tho question, either pro or con. Tho
fact that they aro fraudulent is sufficient
to settle tho matter once and forever.
No sensible man would think of pay
ing nil or any portipn of a debt that
he did not honestly owe, and we cannot
see why a State should. Georgia has
never, to our knowledge, refused to
recognize nnd make good all her hon
est indobtness, nnd the idea of her
“compromising" with the Now York
money sharpers, who confederated with
Bullgck & Co. to swindlo the State,
to pay any portion of the aforosaid
bonds, in ordor to ‘‘ease the credit of
the State," is, in our opinion, simply
ridiculous, and tlio absurd proposition
should not be entertained by tho Legis
lature for a moment.
Tho reason argued for tho assump
tion or payment of theso bonds is that
they nro in tho hands of innocent hold
ers who ought not to suffer. Granted,
are not tho people of Georgia as iutio-
cent as the bondholders, and ns .littlo
ablo to bear losses ns they ? But we
havo uo thought that theso bond buy
ers nro tho simple and blindly trusting
olass their agents would havo our poo-
plo bollevo. They nro too sharp in
money securities to bo the innocent
victims they claim. It is not presuma
ble that thoy would trado in bonds or
securities without first calculating tho
chances that by somo means, by some
liocuspocus, tho recognition of theso
bonds might be scoured nnd they como
out winners of an enormous percentage.
Suppose, as is olaimed, that the
last General Assembly did not unwise
ly in not allowing an inquiry in our
courts as to the validity or invalidity
of tlie bonds in question, does this ar
gue that the State, for fear of jeopnr-
dizing hor credit, should now so far for
get hor dignity ns to coiffpromiso this
claim in tho manner proposed? By
no means. Bather let this bond ques
tion be again fully nnd fairly inves
tigated, for it is one to bo decided
upon a purely oqultnblo bnsis, nnd if
it is then found that tbo State is liable,
that tho bonds in dispute are valid
sho should pay tho whole—and if not
thus found, then sho should pay noth
ing. We can seo no sense, equity or
justico in any othor courso; and wo
have no fear Whatever that tho State’s
oredit will suffer in'tho least in tfio es
timation of good men by such a courso

A Story of Coincidences.
Here is a singular story of coinci
dences. Tim detectives of Boston, in
a enso given them to work up, wonted
a man named W. H. Johnson, who Imd
a glass eye. They found Buoh a por-
son in Bangor, Me., nnd he was the
wrong gentleman. They found anoth
er W. H. Johnson in Snlcm, Mass., al
so with a glass eye, nnd ho too proved
to bo an innocent man. Tkcy.recoived
a telegram from Nowburyport Mass.,
stating that a W. H. Johnson-with a
;lnss eye had been arrested there—and
10 likewise proved to bo tlio wrong cus
tomer. Tkero is a fourth W. H. John
son with a glass eye somewhere, and
tho Boston authorities would Tike to
havo him ; that is, unless ha happens
to be tho wrong W. H. Johnson with a
glass eye.

When tho franking privilege wob abol

ury. It seems that we were mistaken;
tho Houso Judiciary Committee's bill

by tho discontinuanoo of tho franking
privilege, shall bo absorbed in an in

Is it Right to Run Railroad Trains on Bun.
floyj
Tho question of cnaoting laws to
prevent tho running of railroad trains
on Sunday, is being agitated before a
numbor of Stato Legislatures. Tho
passago of such a law by tho Georgia
Legislature would doubtless be gratify
ing to her people, particularly tho largo
numbjr of employees on the different
roads, who nro prevented by their Sun
day labors from enjoying the blessings
and peaceful rest appertaining to tlio
holy Sabbath. Should we, ns a pcoplo,
persist in n courso which is in direot
opposition to God’s laws? Is it right
to violate one of tho commandments?
What if passengors are inconvenienced
and postal operations suspended for a
day, and wo get our mails twenty-four
hours later. We should say with Paul,
“I have learned in whatsoever state I
am therewith to be content.”
God has given us our lot in lifo, nnd
bcMenics nothing that is for our good;
but ho has, by bis holy Word, forbidden
work of any kind on tho Sabbntb.—
This divine law, this “remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy," that was
thundered from Sinai far back in the
past, is echoing around us still with
all its solemnity nnd imperativeness.
During tho month of December,
1872, there occurred in various parts
of the United States, as reported, one
hundred and twelve railway accidents,
sixteen of which caused doath, and
twenty-eight injuries to persons. Tlio
total number kilted during, the month
was forty-two, nnd the total number in
jured one hundred nnd thirty-three
This is found to be the largest number
of railway casualitios that have ever
occurred in the United States in any
mouth. Who shall say that these ac
cidents, that are getting so common,
arc not visitations and warnings from
bn offended God ?

A Bill for tho Iuorenso of tho Currency.
Tho Banking- and Curronoy Com.
mittee reported a hill last weok am
thorizing tho Secretary of the Treasu
ry to inoroaso tlio volume of the curren
oy at tho rate of flvo million dollars
per annum for flvo years, This will
inflate the curronoy, should it bcoome
a law, to tbo extent of twenty-five
millions. It is almost needless to say
that this is a measure demanded by
tbo West, from whence comes the pry
steadily for more ourrcncy. It appears
that tbo act. for the redistribution of
tbo currency among tho States, which,
it was supposed would prevent the
accumulation of tlio curronoy at the
great money centres of the East, has
not bad the desired effect in this
respect. Of courso tho Southern mem-
bors will unite with tbeir inflation
friends of tlio West to pass the bill.

Tho Now York Express Bays that

A Movement Against tho Mormons.
It Is announced that the President
has decided to rouow his aggressive
policy against the Mormons. A day
or two siuco ho held n conference with
tho Secretary of State, Attorney Gen
eral, and tho. House and Senate Judi-
oiary Committees on tho subject. It
is thought that a less harsh and op :
proBsivo law than the Cullom bill,
which was defeated last session, can
be framed and passed before tlio dis
solution of Congress. Tlio President’s
injprest in tho matter is stimulated by
n momorinl which he lms received from
tbo Gentiles of tbo Territory, reciting
tlie wrongs which they have suffered,
and continuo to suffer, at the hands of
tho Saints. Tho delegate to Congress

Rcolpo for Killing a Town.
Tho Kingston Gazelle speaks truly
when it says: “To kill a town, un

public enterprise; speak ill of tho
churches and schools, tell everybody
tho hotels are ‘bad;’ onlargo tho vicos
of the people; withhold tlio-patronngo
from your merchants nnd tradesmen,
and buy your goods and groceries
from somo other place; nnd never
subscribe for tho local paper, and if.
you nro in business, refuse to adver
tise."
Somewhat Mistaken.
Phrenology, as an oxact science, has
just received rather a severe blow at
Topeka, Kansas. A leoturer of some
pretensions was bolding forth in that
plnco tlie other night when M. IV. Rey
nolds editor of tlio Pnvson3 Sun, a
strict teetotaller, and one of tho most
aminblo gentlemen of the State, was
introduced as Col. Jennison, tho dis
tinguished jnyhnwkor and gambler of
Leavenworth. Thereupon tho bump-
feeler proceeded to give him the fol
lowing character: “Dangerous nmn;
keep pistols, liowio knives and whiskoy
away from this man; will shoot as
quick as eat; under favoring conditions
would bo a very doBporato character,
cto.” Col. Jennison himself was next
introduced ns Elder Davis, a well-
known local preacher, and received the
following clean bill: “Is a man of ex
treme modesty, large conscientiousness,
very sensitive, full of sympathy, and
ready to die for tho right." Tho lec
turer did not draw very well tho next
night.
