Justice.
Tne last number of the Aibary Central City
contained ai. article from the senior editor, stating
among other things, that Col. Style* of the
Albany News, hid moved its expulsion from the
Press Association, both at A rue rices ar.d Atlanta.
This charge i. certainly unfounded, a..d we have
no doubt but that the j >nrnal ir.akii g the charge
is laboring under a nastatem- ut of Lets. Col
Styles, as w. : g his duty, did arraign some
twelve or fourteen papers, and amongst them the
Central City, for a violation of the rules of the
Press Association ; bat he distinctly stated that
he was moved to that course from a high sense of
duty, and Gom no personal teeiiDgs. He further
stated to the Convention in Americus, that he
hoped they would take no action in the case of
that iournal as it was of his own city, and he
feared that some might charge that he was actuated
by envy or prejudice. We know nothing per
sonally about the viol Pion of the rules, but feel
It our duty to make this statement in justice to
Col. Styies.
Gen. McMahon President cf France.—The
election of General McMahon, an Irishman, to the
presidency of the French Republic is an unex
pected turn in the political status of that country,
that may well excite the deepest feelings of those
unfortunate people. The movement may give
new life to the republican sentiments now per
vading that country, or it may be the means of
enthroning again the Bourbons. It is to be hoped
that the love of Republican Government, so dear
to Irishmen, is pre-eminent iu the soul of this old
man, and that he will use his power, influence and
talent in behalf of the highest interests of the
French peopfe.
What in Free Trade ?
In answer to a question propounded by a cor
respondent ; what is the meaning of Free Trade V
The New York World gives the following:
Take two taxes on consumption; a tax on
coffee, a tax on whiskey. Coffee is not a domestic
product. Whiskey is a domestic product. The
tax upun Coffee will be most conveniently col
lected at tne Custom-house (until all Custom
houses are superseded by some better and less
costly machinery), and that is a tariff-tax. The
tax upon whiskey will be most conveniently col
lected at the still, and that is an excise tax. Both
are direct taxes in a proper appreciation of tLe
words “ direct and indirect” taxation.
Whoever advocates Free Trade would not he
supposed to object to taxation by an excise on
whiskey. There is no better reason for supposing
he objects to taxation by a tariff on coffee.
An excise tax cd whiskey to high as to provoke
enormous illicit distillation, secret eales and
greatly diminished consumption, like a tariff-tax
on Coffee so high as to provoke illicit importa
tion, smuggling, adulteration, and greitiy di
minished consumption, would alike fetter the
Freedom of Trade.
A moderate excise tax and tariff tax in these
cases would not hinder Free Trade. High tariff
taxes, then, are objected to by Free-Traders, but
for the same reason they would object to high
excise taxes.
Bat we neither import whiskey nor grow
coffee.
Take then the tax on sugar which we both im
port and produce. Free trade in sugar is no more
hindered by a tariff tax on foreign sugar than by
the same excise tax on domestic sugar, were tariff'
and excise equal and moderate. Forty millions
of sugar-eaters would be free to buy where they
could buy cheapest. That is Free Trade.
During the war many tuxes wore thus laid, to be
collected cn the commodity whether by the in
ternal revenue collector or by the collector of the
port, wherever in the country Its journey to the
consumer began. Artfully the taxes on the
domestic article collected by the former officer
were then dropped, leaving iu force the tax on
the foreign article to be collected at the Custom
house. Upon all that commodity consumed,
foreign or domestic in origin, the people paid the
tax ; tor the protected producer sold his share for
no less than enough to barely undersell the
foreign producer, whose commodity got into our
maiket only with its cost increased by the tax.
But though the people paid an increased price on
all the commodity, only the increase due to the
Custom-house tax was Taxation and went to the
United States Treasury. The rest was plunder
and went to the Protectionist.
This then was Unequal Taxation, and besides
a fetter upon Free Trade, At first glance it
seems a flue thing, and looks like a guarantee of
prosperity to the protected industry. Yet who
ever delegated to Congress the right to select
this or that industry fer our charity ? And it is
certain that in the long run Protection does not
protect. A most unjust tiling, in truth, this
Protection is, for all we, the product of whose
industries thus comes back to us through the
Custom-hou3e, find our profits cut down, the
return of our labor arbitrarily diminished. No
importation of foreign goods but has been bought
by the outgoing product cf 6ome of our domestic
industries. Why should these be damaged that
others may be prospered ? Asa matter of fact,
since protective legislation began, our exports
(and these were products of domestic industries)
have been slaughtered. That is a necessary ac
companiment ct Protection. As if it possibly
could cost nothitg to nobody! It Las cost the
United Stated their ship-building, their ship-own
ing, and nearly all the export of their manu
facturing industries, and vastly more besides.
This widespread devastation to certain indus
tries and this grievous hindrance to Free Trade
in their products, is no necessary result of our
heavy taxation. It is a needless rtsult of a bad
system of taxation, and superadds the cost of our
bluuderiug, to the cost ot running the Govern
ment and paying interest on the debt. Our debt
is so hsavy that it will at last enforce economy
in Government expenditures, and an equal
taxatiou neither ruinous to any industry nor a
fetter upon the free exchange of its products.
80 far is it from being t:ue that our debt makes
necessary a taxatiou by such a tariff, that on the
contrary our debt makes necessary a wise taxation
and a Free Trade and a currency redeemable iu
specie. To say nothing of the injustice of the
tariff, we cannot afford it, just because of our
debt.
The Chattanooga Times.—We clip the follow
ing lrom the Atlanta Herald, and can bnt express
onr surprise at that journal, generally so outspo
ken, allowing the little “fraud” Kirby to go un
scathed, when he had made such grave charges
against the Georgia press:
“We really haven’t any space or any lime to
waste on Kirby, of the Chattanooga Times, or his
little paper, bnt cony this squib from its gifted
columns merely to show its animus:
The Atlanta Herald abuses the Times and calls
its editor ugly names because we said that the late
Governors’ Convention (may its soul rest in peace)
was seized npon and controlled by a ring ot canal
speculators, who went into it with a cut and dried
programme; that this ring was made up of the
incorporators of the Georgia Canal Company; that
its leaders bad got control of a portion 'ot the
press of that State by promising them in some in
stances, stock, and giving it outright to others.
These statements we know to be substantially
true, and if some respectable newspaper should
take the responsibility ot a square denial—which
the Herald does no;—we might be induced to
prove tneir truth.
As far as the Herald is concerned we squarely
deny the charge, and believe that it is ill-natured
buncombe from beginning to end. Kirby is to be
pardoned for pandering to the prejudices of his
own little bailiwick, for that is meat and bread to
him; but he has no right to step outside and
abuse honest people in the furtherance of this in
tention; for that is not meat,and certainly ill-bread.
! Such a course does not greatly enhance a reputo
tiou tb;.t is already not renuikable for courtesy
• and fairness in discussion. But, then, what i6 the
use ot worrying about Kirby? Good bye, little
boy.”

speech of < 01. Ualicr,
Col. Baker, in presi rting the bind tune and
beautiful cake to the ycung ladies ol Furlow
Female College at Amirlcu?, iu behalf of the
Press Association, said:
Ms. Douglas's—ln behalf r : the Press Associa
tioo ot Geo:g'a, it is my plea.-ant duty to present
to Uie young ladies of Fcrluw Female College of
Ami-ricus, through you, as the President of that
institution, this beautiful pryamidal cake. It is
no slight token of appreciaticn, that we effer.
This present has a value in it-elf. It is fashioned
of materials rich and rare, and the syniim-try ot
proportion is made more attractive by the beauty
of the adornments, all evincing artistic skill and
taite, and harmoniously blending iu it as a triumph
cf art, the graceful, the symmetrical and the
beautiful, a preset.t from Mrs. C. W. Hancock, of
this city of beauty and ot generous hospitality.
We received it not as rn .de to us as an association
of individuals, but as a tribute that vomaa pays
to the power acd moral excellence ot the
We prize this token for the association connected
with it. We value it, ior the liveliness and worth
of woman are thus associated with the moral
power of the P.eis. We value the gilt, for it is
the donor that ennobles the benefaction. Varied
as are the munificent displays of beauty and bene
ficence iu the works of the creation, yet Heaven’s
last gi;t to man—woman—is the crowning excel
lence in beauty, love and wortu. Thus, the Press
as a Sentinel, gives the alarm at the approach
of danger to the rights and liberties of the coun
try. Its watchful vigilance unmasks the traitor,
and exposes the wiles of him who seeks his own,
and not his count y’s good. As an advocate it
vindicates the course of truth, justice and patriot
ism. Asa guardian of the general welfare, it ad
vances the interests of commerce, manufacturies,
agriculture, aud the varied industries ot the ccun
tiy. Asa moral and iutclieetuul educator, day by
day aud from week to week, it addresses itself to
the iuiud and heart of Ihu people, printing lessons
in science, knowledge nnd virtue, and especially
to the young it opens a treasury of information
and instruction. Asa friend it visits the family
circle, and the homes ot the land, carrying useful
news, filling up leisure time with interesting
themes, driving dull care away with wit and
anecdote and sprightly rehearsal. Asa monitor
it points to the path of honor and ol virtue. That
father is a friend to his children who is a p atron
of the Press, and gives to Lt:s family the news
paper.
Great as is the power of the pulp it and noble
its theme—yet no less potent is the power of the
Pres3. The preacher speaks through the ear, and
to a number comparatively limited. The news
paper, as a winged messenger, goes abroad ia the
l*nd, and speaks through the eye, not in words
floating in the air, but iu language fixed on the
tablet to be read and then re-read again. It is
fitter that woman should value this moral power.
She reasons not iu the slow, dull logic of man,
but with the quick intuition of her intellect, acd
the innate promptings of her heart towards what
ever is true or noble, or useful. Thus, woman
lends her influence to the might and power of the
Press. The strength of moral purity and the
might of moral energy have intertwined their in
fluence, and like the oak encircled with the clasp
ing vine, the Press will be immovable amid the
storm that tyranny, though armed with the purse
and sword, may wage against it.
It is becoming that we should present this
memorial, linked with these associations, to the
young ladies of your College. The Press dees
thus express thanks for courtesies received, and
would impress upon the polastic mind of the
young, now blushing like rosebuds into life, the
lesson that woman in her mature appreciation,
has taught—a lesson not expressed in woids nor
conveyed in written speech, but in sculptured
language of art and ol beauty as in this token,
seen and felt, telling out that woman is the friend
of the moral excellence and power oi the Press.
In conclusion, we ret iru thanks for the kind
ness manife'sted to us by the ladies ot this beauti
ful city, and for the generous hospitality of its
citizens. The rain and storm have intervened
during our visit here, but your kindly courtesies
was the bow beneath the cloud, aud brightened
the occasion with the joy and gladness of heart,
that nature even in her smiling mood of cloud
less ekies could not have evoked.
We do sometimes strike bright moments from
time. The recollection of the social hours spent
here, will he as jewels in the casket of memory.
The reminiscences of these social scenes, even in
after years, will linger in our hearts.
“Long, long, will our hearts with their memories
be tilled,
With the vase in which roses have once been
distilled;
You may break, you may ruin, the vase if you will,
But the scent ol the roses will hang round it
still.”
Mr. President, please convey our thanks to the
ladies and the students, aDd accept this offering
we make at the shrine oi woman’s liveliness and
influence.
Capa Jack.—From the Frankfort, (Ky.,) Yeo
man, we learn that the above named Indian Chief
is the descendant of a Kentuckian. That paper
says:
“It is at this time currently reported in this
community, and by many believed, that Captain
Jack, the celebrated Modoc chief, is the son of
Captain Jack Chamte:?, a native, and formerly a
well known citizen of the western p art of this
county. In support of this belief the following
facts are given : About the year 1845-’6 a prarty of
emigrants, made up of citizens of Franklin county
and other parts of Kentucky, went to California
on a fortune seeking expedition. With this party
went Capt. Jack Chambers, a bold, daring man,
who, though a full-blooded white man, possessed
many of the characteristics, physical, as -well as
mental and moral, of an Indian brave. On reach
ing California, the party gradually broke up and
scattered, but it was well known, and so reported
by all those who subsequently returned to Ken
tucky, that Captain Jack Chambers fell in with
the Modoc Indians, married the daughter of their
head chief, at whose death he—Capt. Chambers
succeeded to the chieftainship by election, and so
continued until the day of his death, only a few
years ago. It is also said that, after living with
the Modocs seme years, he became so much like
the rest of the warriors of that tribe, both in
speech and physique, that the closest observer
never suspected that he was other than a full
blooded Indian. Besides, the Captain himself fa
vored the delusion, and hence it is that we see it
stated in all the sketches of “ Captain Jack,” the
present Modoc Chief, that he is the son of a full
blooded chief of that tribe. In fact this was the
general belief of all the Indian traders and agents
who ever came in contact with him.
“At the time of his joining the Modocs, Capt
Jack Chambers was between thirty-five and forty
years oi age. Previous to his emigration to Cali-,
fornia, he had volunteered in the war for the in
dependence of Texas, where he distinguished him
self as a brave soldier and capita) officer. It is an
interesting and remarkable fact in his personal
history, that he was cue ol a family of twenty-four
children—twenty-cne sons and three daughters—
all cf whom grew to maturity, most of whom
aro still living, and nearly all of whom were re
markable for physical qualities closely resembling
those cf the higher types of the American Indians.
Another Wild Man.— A correspondent of the
Cleveland Banner (Tenn) says: The horrible
sight of a hairy man has been seen in Fannin
countv, Georgia. He is wild and monstrous he
has been seen in houses carrying off women and
children. He is eight feet high, and is covered all
over with black curly hair. He started from a
house lately with a woman in hie arms, but by
the apppreaeh of two men she was released. The
settlement was alarmed, and pursuit given on
horseback. Alter a hard ride the monster was
overtaken, and a terrible fight ensned, in which
a man by the name cf Haircrow was killed, and a
horse had his tail torn or, aEd the pursuers were
forced to retfoat and leave the field in the pos
session cf the monster. Ike settlers are arming
themselves with guns and watching lor him.
He makes his appearance just before or in time of
a rain.
A letter 1.68 been received in New Orleans
from a German intending immigration, inquiring
whether it will be safe for him to venture through
New Orleans on uis way to Texas, provideij he is
well armed, aud Las a j—s lrom the German
Emperor.
1 iking tiie Family Gi n.—There has been gin
s'anding b-blud a cupboard- in a Pmestr ■! res
idence for the past eight years. It t ele: g o !<>
the occupants father, and was set up th • '.u a
loaded conditun. Its presence was alway- an
eye sore to the occupants wile, who shared Icily
with the sex their fear of fire arms. So the o: her
fl-J—Friday, we think—she induced her ha= band
to take if down and fire it off. He had never flied
off a gun that had been loaded eight year* ; iu (act,
he never fired off a guu at all, so he poked :t out
of a window and took aim into the garden, with
out the faintest shadow ol fear. His wife, being
afraid ot fire-arms, stood behind his back and look
ed over his shoulder, with her eyes tight shut.
He shut his eyes too, and then pulled the trigger.
What immediately lollowed neither appears to
have any settled idea. He says he can vaguely
remember hearing a noise of some kind, and lu.s
an indistinct recollection of passing evir some
thing, which mast have been his wite, £8 she wes
ouud between him aud the window by the neigh
bors who drew him out of the fire-place. The
fact that oue of his shoulders was 6et back about
two inches, end that three of her teeth were im
beded iu the scalp, seemed to indicate that in step
ping back from the window he had done so sud
denly, and this conclusion, we are glad to say,
was veriiitd by both on .being restored to eou-
