FOR VIUE-PRKSIDKXT:
B. GRATZ BROWN,
OF MISSOCFI.
The Legislature.
The Legislature convened last
\\ eduesday, the 17th instant. T hete
are many important questions likely
to come before this body at its pies
ent session. One which elicits more
discussion just now than perhaps any
other is the re-organization of the
Congressional Districts of the State.
It will he remembered that since the
last census there has been a new ap
portionment of representatives; and
under this apportionment Georgia is
entitled to two additional representa
tives There seems to he considera
ble diversity of opinion as to how 1
these representatives shall he elected.
There a e sevetal hills prepared with
the object of reducing the number of;
count es in each district, and thereby 1
creating two new ones ; and it is pro- j
posed by one of the bills to group |
together the counties in such a way
as to throw the counties having large
negro majorities in the same district i
with counties having large while j
majorities. Thb difficulty is, that to j
do this puts them in a very awkward '
shape, ranging from the mountains,
in a long string of counties, down
c.o • I
into the middle of the State. We
aie not favorably impressed with this ,
scheme. We could mention many
objections to it; but we have not
space now to discuss it. Our opin
ion is that the districts ought to be j
so arranged as to throw counties to- j
geihcr lying in the same section of)
the State; so that they will always
have a representation in Congress to !
look specially after the interest of
that section, and who is identified
in interest with them. To illustrate
our idea, we do not think a man from
Rabun would he a suitable man to :
represent the commercial interest of
Savannah ; and vice versa. Unless
some htiier arrangement than this
can be effected, we would much pie
fer to have the districts as they are,
and elect two Congressmen from the i
State at large.
ELECTION OK OFFICERS.
Il is also in cunleinpiation to
change tlie election ot' State and
county officers to Wednesday in
October. \\e will heartily approve
tids change, as it brings on the oleo‘
lion at a more pleasant season of the
year, and we will have a much larger
vote polled.
S I ATE KOAD J.UASK.
There \v«- a committee appointed
at the last session to investigate this
matter and report at this session.
We have not read the report, and'
therefore, do not know what evidence,
if any, has been discovered of fraud.
It strikes us as rather n novel doc
trine to a lawyer, that one of the par
ties to a contract, the Suite of (Jeor
gia, has the right, legally or equila
b!), to set aside its ow n contract. If
the lease was obtained fraudulently,
it seems to us that the proper place
to have it set aside would be in the
courts where both parties have an
equal showing and stand upon equal
terms But aside from the legal
questions involved, »e are inclined
to the opinion that the lease is about
the best arrangement for the interest
of the State. tTbe State is assured
of three hundred thousand dollars
per which we believe is a
better rental than can be secured
from a reliable company ; and we are
unalterably opposed to the road ever
being thrown back to be run in the I
interest of the political parlies—we j
would much prefer to see the road j
sold and the indebtedness ol the State j
paid, or the money used to help build ;
laihoads to develop other sec'ious of j
the Stale.
OTIIEK COMMirTEKI.
There are several other Commit
tees, which have been sitting during
the recess. The State Road Investi
gating Commute; the Bond Com
mittee, and the Committee to inves
the conduct of the Auditing Board,
etc. The reports of these Commit
tees are, we were informed, ready to
be submitted. There are many other
matter* of inteiest and importance
which rre likely to come before the
i body in addition to the ordinary leg
islation, of widen we hope there will
'be but little. One of the great dis
Scullies in these days is a disposition
I to legislate too much. We do not
need nuub legislation and do not
want it. It is believed this body will
' he in se-sion for at least a month.
The lirowii-Toombs Affair.
Sometime since, a letter written
by General i oombs was published, in
which he was understood bv ex Gov
ernor Brown to charge him with
bribery in engineering a bill through
the Legislature. Brown, in a card
published in the Atlanta papers, uses
the following language :
“Now, if General Toombs, bv tliis
language, intends to say that 1 have
been guilty ol bribery in engineering
this hill ihrough the Legislature, I
pronounce his statement an infamous
falsehood and its author an unscrupu
lous liar.”
Geneial Toombs replied to this in
a card, fr m w hich we make the fol
lowing quotation :
“He .quoted the language, and
therefore knew I did not ‘say’ so.
If lie felt in doubt about the inten
tion —the con»truction of tbe lan
guage — lie might have asked for an
explanation Tim propriety of this
course is so obvious that no gemle
man could fail to perceive it. Brown
preferred hypothetical denunciation,
the usual dodge of a vulgar poltroon,
and played bis characteristic role.
He is extremely technical: l if Gen.
Toombs intends by this language that
1 have been guilty of bribery in en
gineering this bill through tbe Leg
islature,’ etc. I think the probabili
ties are very much against Brown’s
being personally engaged in the brib
ery. I think lie is too cunning and
skillful a lobbyist to run any such un
necessary tisks, especially with such
experts as Kimball and Lochrane,
aided by Blodgett, assisting him in
the work of engineering the hi 11
thiough the Legislature.”
Subsequently, General Toombs sent
J. C. Nicbolls to enquire of Brown
if be bold himself amenable to the
Code. Gov. Brown replied that lie
“was ready to give him any satisfac
tion which may be due him, or lo
which he is entitled under the Code.”
NicliolU and Brown appear to have
had some misunderstanding as lo the
exact purport of their conversation,
and each publish cards giving their
version of the interview, Tne fol
lowing card, from Brown, is the last
we have seen upon the subject:
Atlanta, Ga., July 20, 1872.
Editors Constitution: I have read
the card ol Col Nicl'.olls, published
in your paper vesleiday. Between
him and myself there seems to be a
conflict ol memory as to the vet biage
and purport of our interview. But
General Toombs cannot shield bis
poltroonery in that way, for lie could
not mistake the 1 mguage over my
own signature, sent him by express,
and doubtless received by him, before
lie penned his last card published five
days afterwards.
Col. Nicholls in his card, referring
to my own of the previous day, s.ivs,
“Gov. Brown states that he was ad
vised to see tne, and have me to agree
in writing what occurred.” This
statement nowhere appears in my
published card, but it does appear in
a memorandum appended to mv ver
sion of the interview, which was sent
to General Toombs by express. The
proof is conclusive, therefore, that
my written statement was received
by General Toombs.
The veiled report of n conversa
tion would never be the guide to a
proud brave man as to what bis hon
or demanded, when lie bad in wri
ting before him, the pledge that lie
would receive, if he called for it,
the satisfaction due a gentleman.
Joseph E. Brown.
As Dr. VV. Humphrey was riding
north from Mexico on Tuesday
morning of last week, and when
about three miles out on a by-road,
his attention was suddenly ar
rested by the scream of a man in
front, who was running with all
his might and throwing up his
hands lor the doctor to stop, He
soon comprehended the situation,
and discovered that the man was
being pursued by a large elephant.
Dr. Humphrey fortunately found
an aperture in the fence through
which lie hurriedly passed and
thus drove around “his highness.”
Safely past, he returned to the
road, but bud only gone a short
distance when the elephant turned
and pursued him. The doctor
quickened the gait of his steed,
and suddenly dashed on a great
dromedary, rising from the side of
llio road. The sight frightened
the doctor’s horse, which turned
around, tipped over the buggy,
threw the doctor against the fence,
and departed with the buggy at
full speed. The doctor waa but
slightly banned, but the buggy
was broken into I’ragraenls.
The animals arc supposed to be
long to Cooper’s circus that went
through Mexico that morning on
j its way to Paris. —Mexico (Mo.)
* Messenger,
GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
'Hie following is a telegraphic
: nummary of the Governor's Mis.
1 sage:
On the giievances of the St te the
j Governor says that while it is proper
to withhold extended remarks on
bonds and claims, investigated bv a
committee, until ibe committee re
poi ts, he feels constrained to say that
the State is bound to redeem only
'such obligations as are issued in con
, fortuity to the law. If money raised
upon nnaullioiized securities has
come to the Treasury, the State is
bound to account for it, but consider
ations of public policy forbid the rec
ognition of contracts entered into by
unauthorized persons.
EXECUTIVE HIGH IS.
A Governor has no right to issue
bond* unless specially authorized by
the Legislature. He then becomes a
special agent, and cannot transcend
tho limits of power. Persons having
business with public agents in such
matters are bound to look to their
authority.
THE STATE DEBT.
’I lie State debt created before July,
1868, was five millions and two lain-;
dred thousand dollars. To meet the
bonds fallingdue the present summer,
the Governor issued seven hundred
thousand dollars in bonds, and bor
rowed two hundred thousand dollars i
to pay the interest thereon from the \
National Bank of Commerce.
FINANCIAL AGENT OF THE STATE.
That bank was made the State I
agent in exchanging new bonds for
old ones, on the following conditions : j
That if the holders of old bonds will
not exchange, the State will continue I
to pay the intere t on the old bonds, j
The Governor asks the Legislature to
sanction the arrangement.
GOVERNOR JENKINS.
He thanks ex Governor Jenkins for
acting as State agent without pay.
RIGID ECONOMY.
By the wasteful expenditures of tho
late administration it beean e neces
sary to resort to the doubtful expedi
ency of a short loan The present
impoverished condition of the eoun
try renders the practice of the most
rigid economy indispensable.
FLOATING DEBT OF THE STATE ROAD.
Attention is called to the propriety
of provision for the payment of the
floating debt of the State Road, of
which a large amount is outstanding,
besides half a million paid by Bul
lock.
NO WARRANTS.
No warrants have been issued since
he came into office.
THE STATE LEASE.
Tho Governor'transmits eopi cs of
all papers touching the State Road
lease. The rental has been regularly
paid. The Committee on the Lease
will soon submit its report and any
discussion of the subject till then
would he premature. The magnitude
of the interests involved and the con
cern which the transaction has excit
ed in the public mind render it prop
er that he should invoke the exercise
of tiie highest wisdom and j ustice.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM-
The attempt to establish tho school
system has not been crowned with an
ticipated succ. ss. It has been iinprao
ticable to laiso means at once to carry
out so expensive a system. The law
as il now stands, though an improve
ment on the old law, i.-,still defective.
He cannot too urgently recommend
that provision be made for the pay
ment of teachers. The lithographed
bonds issued by Bullock in lieu of
the school fund were so badly execu
ted that they could not be used.
THE LAND SCRIP.
The land scrip was sold by Conley
for two hundred ami fifty thousand
dollars, of which fifty thousand dol
lars have been received. The re
mainder will be paid next week.
THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Finding that the time in which the
College would expire before the
meeting of tho Legislature, and un
willing to lose the money, it became
b:s duty to save the fund by the ex
ercise of the power conferred on him.
Several institutions of 1 in
the State, and several localities de
sired a College, but the act of Con
gress required that the College be
actually established by July. By tho
terms of its character the State Uni
versity possessed the power at once
to establish such a College, and only
by the prompt exercise of this power
was the fund saved. For these rea
sons he gave the fund to that institu
tion.
TIIE PARDONING POWER.
In the present slate of society he
felt it to be his duty to confine the
pardoning power in the strictest lim
its. The Courts constitute the prop
er tribunal for the trial of offenses,
and it is not part of the Governor’s
duty to screen the guilty from pun.
ishment. Impressed with the con
viction that good order, peace and
the welfare oT society depend upon
the enforcement of the law, he has
refused to interfere with tho judgment
of the Courts.
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
He reeomineuds that action be
taken with regard to the Lunatic
Asylum. Reforms are to be intro
duced and abuses corroded.
LIMBS FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS.
The Governor states that there are
many maimed State ami Confederate
! soldiers without limbs, and asks an
appropriation for their purchase.
THE DEAD OF GEORGIA.
The Governor says that the re
mains of over two thousand dead
Georgia soldiers remain uncared for
where they fell, and asks an appro
priation to Lave them gathered up.
Our people are poor and the State is
cramped in her finances, for the
stranger and spoiler have been among
us, but we are not so poor that we
cannot bury our dead.
military ixtbrfekakcb.
lie alludes lo the attempt made by
tbe military to inteifere in State as
fairs and his action in the premises.
He hoped lie would have no more,
as theie is neither reason nor cause
for it, but if another attempt is made
lie would still feed it liis duty to pro
test with the earnestness of outraged
justice.
Stamps Abolished and Re
tained.
It is a master of great importance
to the public to know what revenue
stamps are now required on legal and
business documents and what, re
quired under the old law, have been
repealed. A correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce has
taken especial pains to investigate the
question, and to epitomize as fur
nished below, a full list, showing the
new law of June 6th, 1772, with the
items repealed thereby, and those
still letained. From this it will be
seen that no repeal of these items
mentioned will take effect until the
first of Oeteber, 1872, and that after
that date, no stamps will be required
except that of two (2) cents on
checks, drafts and orders. The fol
lowing is the article :
Section 36. That on and after the
first day of October, 1872, all the
taxes imposed by stamps under and
by virtue of schedule B of section
170 of the act approved June 30,
1864, and the several acts amenda
tory thereto to be and the same are
hereby repealed, excepting only the
tax of two ceuts on blank checks,
drafts or orders. Provided that where
any mortgage lias been executed and
recorded or may be executed and re
corded before the first dav of Ooto
ber, 1872, to secure the payment of
bonds or obligations that may be is
sued from time to time, and such
mortgage not being stamped, all such
bonds or obligations as may have
been issued the day last aforesaid :
And provided further that in the
meantime the holder of any instru
ment of writing of whatever kind
and description which has been made
or issued without being duly stamped
or with a defunct stamp, may make
application to any collector of inter
nal revenue,* ar/d that upon applica
tion such collector shall thereupon
affix the stamp provided by such
holder upon such instrument of wri
ting as is required by law to be put
upon the same, and subject to the
provisions of sectiou 158 of the in
ternal revenue laws.
According to the internal revenue
circular soon lobe issued, this means
abolition in respect ot‘ the following
instruments that now require stamps,
and the reader interested may accept
this careful epitome as final:
Stamps are to l>e abolished on con
tracts fur insurance against accidental
injuries.
Affidavits.
Appiaisements of value or dam
age, or for any other pm pose.
Assignments of a lease, mortgage,
policy of insurance, or anything else.
Hills of exchange, foreign, inland,
letter of credit, or anything of that
kind not taxed by stamps.
Bill of lading and receipts, in the
United States or anywhere else.
Bills of sale of any kind.
Bonds of indemnification of any
kind.
Bond of administrator or guardian,
or anything that lias the name of
bond in it, and now taxed by stamp.
Brokers’ notes.
Certificates of measurement of any
thing.
c'
Certificates of slock, profits, dam
age, deposite oi any other kind of
certificate now taxed by stamp.

ter party of any kind.

wjjrk of conveying.

Passage ticket to any place in the
world.
Pawner’s checks.

STAMPS RETAINED.
The tax of 2 cents on cheeks,

B that is retained.
And this is the detail of the stamp
abolitions in the law of June 6th,
1872.
Tragedy In Rochester.
Rochester, N. Y., July 12. A
j fearful tragedy occurred in this city
this afternoon, about four o’clock, at
what is commonly known as “The
Old Break of Day House,” kept by
John McLaughlin. The place has
been notorious for years as the home
of the most vicious characters. Gil
bert McLaughlin, the son of the pro
prietor, while delirious, it is supposed,
from the effects of an incipient fever,
or some other cause, shot his step
mother fatally, and wounded a man
employed to take care of him. The
murderer, according to the testimony
thus far gathered, was under the hal
lucination that there was a design
against his own life, and he took a
position on the second floor at the
head of the staircase, with a dueling
pistol in his hand. Mrs. McLaugh
lin locked herself into the front par
lor, and waived her hadkerchief and
called upon the man Jewett, who was
hired to take care of young McLaugh
lin, to come up stairs. Jewett en
deavored to do so, but retired after
receiving a bullet through the arm.
Then ensued a fearful struggle on
the part of the woman in the room
to defend her life against the mad
man outside. Her old and imbecile
husband was in another part of the
house, unaware of what was goino'
on, or at least unable to interfere.
Jewett raised an alarm when he re
peated, and all the persons outside
seemed most unaccountably dilatory
in interfering. The unfortunate wo
man placed herself against the room
door to hold it firm. Young Mc-
Laughlin placed his pistol against the
panels and fired through twice. It
is thought that one of the bullets
passed through the body of the de
ceased, inflicting the mortal wound,
and that she dragged herself over to
the window,near which her corpse was
found. It may he that she was struck
while attempting to escape at this
point, as the murderer finally kicked
in the panel and reached through
to take aim in firing the last shot.
LcLaughlin was one who often show
ed a disposition to escape from the
associations of his youth, but lacked
strength of mind to do so. lie was
clad in a night-gown during the
whole affray, and refused to allow
any clothes to be put on him after
his arrest.
The Sickness and I>eath of
Judge Linton Stephens.
Sparta, Ga., July 15, 1872.
Editors Sun : The sad intelligence
lias already reached you of the death
of then Hon. Linton Stephens. No
sad event has cast so much gloom
and sorrow over this community in
many years. When the report of
his death was carried around the
town on Sunday evening, many of
his friends could not believe it—the
intelligence being the first intimation
© ©
which some of them had of his sick
ness, and no one was prepared for so
I sad tin event.
llis physician, Dr. Alfriend, was
called in late Saturday evening, and
found him suffering with an attack
of fearful congestion of the lungs
and abdominal vsicera. After a
short while the attack appeared par
tially arrested, but owing to irrepa
rable damage done the nervous cen
tres, the congestion of these vital or
gans continued with increasing vio
lenee, and in spite of all the efforts
of medical skill, and the unremitting
attention of his family and friends,
finally resulted in deatli at about 5
o’clock on Sunday, the 14th instant.
Notwithstanding the nature of his
disease, the patient appeared to be
conscious of his approaching death.
In the intervals between the parox
ysms, he conversed with his friends
on the subject, indicating that he
understood his situation, and expect
ed the worst. To his wife, who bent
over him heart broken, he said “lie
was not afraid to die—only dreaded
death because it would separate him
from her.”
The scene at his bedside is beyond
description, His family consists of
his wife with three grown daughters
'by a former marriage, together with,
three smaller children by his last
wife.— Cor. Atlanta Sun.
DasTAjiBLY Murder. Memphis,
Juty 13. —Last evening while a party
of boys were bathing in the liver at
the foot of Beal stteet, a private
watchman named Sturgeon, employ
ed on some fiat boats near by, came
out on the roof, armed with a mus
ket, followed by his wife, also armed
with a navy revolver, and after
threatening the boys for bathing,
Sturgeon took deliberate aim at one
of the hoys, named Johnny Murphy,
who was in the water, and tired,
three slugs striking him in the head,
killing him instantly. Immediately
after the shooting Sturgeon jumped
into a skiff - and made his escape,
llis wife was arrested and lodged in
the station-house. They recently
came here from St. Louis, and are
represented as bad characters. Mur
phy was an apprentice in John
Crown’s gas-fitting establisment.—
The coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict us willful murder.
The State School Commissioner’s
Report on Public Schools. —The
report of State Commissioner, Gus
tavus J. Orr, is able. The teachers
of last year have not been paid.—
Bullock gobbled the school money
out of the Treasury under the act of
July 20, 1870, as fast as it came in,
depositing his rag bonds in their
place to tho amount of §268,00U.
At this point he became inspired
with the worthlessness of his bonds
and the farcicality of the arrange
ment, and he grabbed and scattered
tbe money without any little unnec
essary comedy of putting his paper
stuff in its place.
The teachers worked faithfully,
and Mr. Orr urges their payment, and
we back him in it. He proposes
good bonds to be substituted for
Bullock’s tainted rags.
The full debt be has not ascer
tained, but he is after it.
He urges changes in the present
law. He needs a clerk for himself.
County Boards should settle disputes
with right of appeal to the State
Commissioner and State Board. Half
the rental of tho State Road should
go to education, or half the net re
ceipts if it changes management.
The County Boards should have the
power of local taxation, levied by the
voluntary action of the people.
We shall notice this report here
after.
We take a deep interest in this
matter of free schools. Mr. Orr is
the right mau in the right place.
With the law properly amended and
his hands unfettered, we shall look
for substantial results of the broadest
good.— Constitution.
