man who would grow rich in Geor
gia should come to Gainesville, and
hoard them with care.
A Statement of the Case.
The Republican minorities in the
Senate and in the House of Repre
sentatives, combining with tho Fraud
ulent President, and pushing him to
an abuse of the veto power, have de
clared that the majority shall not
control legislation, and that the pub
lic service shall starve unless the mi
nority be allowed to dictate the cou
ditions upon which supplies are grant
ed. In other words, the Republicans
contemplate a revolutionary proceed
ing, by which the underlying princi
ple of free government may be over
thrown and the majority deprived of
its right to govern.
Stripped of Mr. Conkling’s vehe
ment rhetoric and Mr. Edmund’s mis
interpretation of law, says the New
York Sun, this is the whole issue be
tween the two parties. The Repub
licans are in a minority in Congress,
and in a large minority in the coun
try. They had been accustomed fur
eighteen years to carry things with a
strong hand, and now, when the peo
ple have rejected them, they seek fo
continue the old system by interpos
ing the veto against the fairly ex
pressed will of Congress.
Hayes vetood the appropriation for
tho army, under the dictation of the
Republican caucus. For what rea'
son? Simply because his party in
tends, if allowed to do so, to use the
army at the next Presidential elec
tion, and to retain power by brute
force, to be employed under the di
rection of the War Department and
justified by an opinion from tho de
facto Attorney-General. The plans
are all formed now and are just as
well understood as if they were olli*
cially gazetted. Professions to the
contrary are mere shams.
Hayes will veto the Legislative
bill, because it proposes to stop tho
scandal of supervisors’ and marshals’
and general deputy marshals’ and
special deputy marshals’ using the
army to carry elections, making ar
rests without process, and drawing
five dollars a day from the public
Treasury for partisan service. The
Republicans announce by their votes
and by their speeches that unless
they are allowed these privileges and
these means to elect their candidate
in 1880, they will shut up tho de
partments, and starve out the legis
lative, executive, and judicial branch
es.
Attempts to revive sectional strife
and to inflame passions at the North
and the South for political effects
will not divert public attention from
the true issue now before the people
This may be reduced to three plain
propositions on the part of Congress,
/which Mr. Hayes seeks to thwt|t in
proper legislation, and to coerce into
degrading submission:
The majority in Congress shall di
rect legislation.
The army shall not interfere with,
be present at, or in any way take part
in elections.
Supervisors, marshals, and deputy
marshals shall not have the power to
summon the army for any purpose;
shall not be authorized to make ar
rests without due process of law;
shall not receive pay for political ser
vice; and supervisors shall serve only
as official witnesses at elections.
Everybody can understand these
simple conditions, and every fair
minded man, whether Republican,
Democrat, or National, must admit
that they are right, and that they
embody the principles which Ameri
cans ought to cherish.
A Little bit of a Prophecy.
We have time and again disclaim
ed prophetic knowledge, and yet
there are times, circumstances and
occasions when we see square out in
to the future, way beyond the con
fines of the immediate present, and
behold certain things so plainly that
wo can hardly refrain from telling
our fellow-sufferers in adversity the
fates toward which they are so un
consciously drifting. This is one of
the times. We are impressed with a
fact. We are going to put it to rec
ords. It is this;
The State of Georgia will never
get a cent out of Jack Jones or his
securities.
Some pert prince of a goose’s pin
feather will in all probability rise up
and want to know how we found this
out. Pert pin feather,itis none of your
business, but you caa employ the
brief space between your attacks of
gouty incredulity in recording some
where on the blackboard of your
memory that we said so, and then sit
down in your rocking chair and await
developments.
The defendants will move for a
new trial. It will probably be refus
ed. They will go to the supreme
court. The decision will perhaps be
sustained. New evidence will be dis
covered, and so on from one step to
another five or ten years more will
be frittered away as the last four
have been, and at the last the -thing
will wind up with a return of no prop
erty to be found, and the (State will
go down and put up fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars costs and lawyers
fees. Mark our words.
We write in no hypercritical spirit-
We do not blame the powers that be
for trying to enforce the claim. We
are simply doing a little prophesying
that’s all.
There are 38,000 volumes in the
library of the Ohio penitentiary.
Perhaps this accounts for the educa
tion oi many oi one foreign attaches.
The next Election.
There has not been such an elec
tion in Georgia since the days of se
cession as next year will witness. It
is going to be such a combination,
such a deep, wide, far-reaching po
litical struggle as we have rarely ever
seen.
Every officer from constable to
president is to be elected. Consta
bles, justices of the peace, county
officers, members of the legislature,
comptroller general, attorney gener
al, secretary of State, treasurer, gov
ernor, members of congress, and the
president, all are to be voted for.
Elections have always been a great
disturbing element. We have al
ways had too many. Next year we
shall have such a dose, as will test
our capacity to its utmost.
The wires are all being laid now
for these great events, combinations
are being made, compromises are
being effected, schemes are being set
on foot, to compass private ambi
tions, to reconcile conflicting inter
ests, all around the circle. They
are hidden now, but in time they
will b$ made plain.
as Georgia politics are con
cerned tho ball will op£n in July
when the legislature assembles.
Things will be "fixed” before it ad
journs, and we may expect a lively,
old stirring up. We will have warm
times in Georgia in 1880. The de
mocracy is not as harmonious as it
might be, and while we are sure
every good democrat will support
the nominees of the party, there is
going to be . warm work and lots of
it before the nominations are made.
The independent element is going
to thresh the air, foam at the mouth
and blow about what it will do if
thus and so is not done. The end of
it will be that it will either have to
vote for the democratic nominees, or
else lay down all claims to affiliation
with that party, and become the me
dium by which discord and peril is
brougnt into the ranks of the only
party that promises any relief from
the wrongs and oppressions of radi
ism.
In view of all these facts we think
if there ever was or will be a time
when there was no space for foolish
and merely personal differences, it is
now, when the moulds in which
these great events are to be cast, are
nearly ready to receive the material
out of which they must be fashioned.
If we must differ about who shall
represent congressional districts or
other little minor matters, in the
name of the hope which we have of
the triumph of democratic princi
ples, and the perpetuation of the
liberties of the people, let us j-put it
off until some more convenient sea
son, until the liberties for which our
fathers fought are not trembling in
the balance.
The Democratic Backdown.
“But they have not done it.” Ah,
well, friend, it is all the same, they
will. Hayes will veto every measure
at'the beck of the stalwarts. The
Democrats will pass the appropria
tion bills and come home.
The argument by Mr. Stephens,
Mr. Speer and like saviors is : “Viake
no disturbance. Assume no resp°A,
sibility. Take the issue and gO (J .
the country.”
Yes. “go to the country.”
We went to the country in 1876
We elected Sam Tilden, and Hayes
to-day draws his salary and vetoes
every measure looking to the secur
ing of the rights of the people. Go
to the country with your “issues”
and “the country” surrounded at the
polls by troops of deputy marshalls,
backed up by tho bayonets your tax
es keep bright. Much good will your
“issues” do you.
If the Democratic party wants to
prove itself a boneless, pliant, nerve,
less, darenothing sort of inanity, let
it do this. We said Fight to Mr
Hayes; Mr. Hayes said Fight to ns ,
“We were just fooling,” said wo.
How pitiable we are.
For 1880.
It is said that people —some peo
ple at least—can always tell more
about their neighbor’s business than
they can about their own. We are
one of the people that can just now.
We cannot tell much about the dem
ocracy’s plans, and who will be their
candidate, but we see the Republi
can writing on the wall. They will
nominate John Sherman or U. S.
Grant.
Sherman will be a formidable fac
tor. The National Banks and Wall
street will back him. Grant will be
the candidate for the “Strong Gov
ernment." The stalwarts are laying
all the wires They have captured
Hayes, they are determined to use
the armv to perpetuate Republican
supremacy ; Grant is a soldier, a
man of nerve, to him they will turn.
Let this plan succeed, elect
Grant, put him again in the White
House, and he will come out feet
foremost.
Let this succeed. Good-bye to
liberty.
Charles Foster was nominated by
the republicans for y of Ohio
Wednesday, defe?*L * Secretary
Alonzo Taft. Lq that John
Sherman has go 4 nyic -d the Grant
boom has re|^^ e (v, . very severe jolt.
Taft was a Grant man. Foster is a
Sherman man. Thurman will in ail
probability be the democratic nomi
nee, and the shindig will be lively in
the extreme.

to the same at any mint to be
into bars or standard dollars; it
makes charges for the coining of such
bullion the difference between its mar
ket value iu New York and the legal
tender value of the coin; it makes the
subsidiary silver coin exchangeable at
the treasury for legal tender money to
the amount of twenty dollars, makes
the standard silver dollar legal tender
in all payments at their nominal value.
It requires the treasury to pay out sil
ver coin, without discrimination, same
as gold coin, in liquidation of all kinds
of coin obligations against the govern
ment. It authorizes the issue of certifi
cates to depositors of gold or silver coin
or bullion, and also authorizes the issue
of certificates representing the coin in
the treasury in payment of the interest
on the public debt; both classes of cer
tificates are to be receivable in payment
of duties on imports. Certificates for
bullion deposited are to be for its aver
age market value in coin of like metal.
During the preceding week iu New
York and San Francisco gold and silver
bullion deposited is to be coined to the
full capacity of the mints, iu connection
with other coinage, and if the bullion
deposited for coinage does not amount
to twenty million dollars per mouth,
the treasury is to purchase sufficient
bullion to coin that amount. The act
is not to be construed as authorizing
the coinage of silver, except into stand
ard. dollars.
