ffitsne «bS> itormss. Louisville, G-a: FRIDAY AUGUST 11, 1871. Old Beast Butler a few days ago fell into the Merrimae river, and tried to diown, but fate had ordained otherwise. Drowning waa too good for him. It ia fated that he will die on, or rather, above, dry land, standing on nothing and look ing op e rope. The OhayUefon Election. Gen. John A. Wegener, the citizens' candidate for Mayor, waa elected by a majority of 777 votes over Gilbert Pills* Vary, present Republican Mayor. The entire citizens’ tieket for Council, is deeted by about the same majority. Famine. From the aeoounts we have of the prevalence of this scourge in Persia, to gether with its usual attendants, it must beggar anything like description. Pesti lence too, has not failed to intensity tbe horrors of starvation as it has elsewhere done in former periods. Tbe Plague, that wont of all diseases—whose bare touch is eertsin death—has appeared! Thus beleaguered, and nothing loth, survivori eat the dead to Btifle the mad dened eravings of hunger! Can any pic tnrn of the imagination, transcend such raalitios? Green Tea. The Lynchburg (Va.) News circulates the information—furnished by one of its correspondents—that the trees or bush es which supply this delightful but cost ly beverage, are grown in the yard of Oapt. Robert Ballard of Bedford county, Va., and that their seed bad been in the Ballard family for four generations. Does any one wish to raise a plantation 1 The evidences of successful experiment mre all he could desire, and the means, to make tbe start, quite accessible. All tbe tea used by the Ballards, equal in qnality to such as our stores sell, were raised by themselves. A Departure that is no Humbug. Tbe Democracy of California, wbo have been troubled for some time with tbe disease called the “splits”—more local and sporadic than otherwise—have m-nnited, just for the fun of “licking” their common enemy—the Radicals, Carpet-baggers and Seallawags. That’s the kind of ‘‘departure” we like —its purport is plain, its incentive reasonable nnd just, and all Democrats as well as conservative Republicans will acknowl edge its usefulness. It is virtually the grown-up man redeeming the promise of hia yontb, when wronged and beaten by one older and stronger—“l'll catch you come time or other, when I’m able, and give you lick for lick for every one you’ve given me to-day, and a few more for interest.” Nor is it at all improbable but what every one so righteously thrashed, Will preach up tbe doctrine of "dead is suet” and claim that “by gones” shall he as if they never had been. Nay, more. There witl probably be some of the wronged and abased boys who may fed wore charitable than others and can forgive t or perhaps some will be induced to drop their resentments. These of coarse will “accept the situation,” but io So sense to implicate or prejudice the principle of the right of retaliation as a general thing. No “split” will occur in the ranks because of suoh difference. The Attorney General The Portsmouth (N. H.) Journal, a Radical rough, thus relatas how A. T. Akerman rose to his present high po sition — *!Attorney General Akerman.— Presi dent Grant, it is stated, first became ac counted with tbe present Attorney General when the latter was acting as State Agent of Georgia in Washington. One day, when he bad finished some busi neee in the Executive Office, the Presi dent said, animatedly, 'I like that man, aad as soon as a place is open in his State, I mean to make him District At torney.’ Tbe time came, and tbe office was bestowed. In the pursuit of his new duties, the President heard that Mr. Akerman had been refused lodging an n Southern city because of his Repub lieanism, and that the Court had to be in consequence. When Mr. Hoar xaeignad, Mr. Akerman was nom inated, entirely withont hia knowledge, and was at his remote country home a Weak before tbe news reached him.” We see nothieg in the above that is at all new except the Ku-Kluxory fabrics. Mon that Hr. Akerman “had been re fused lodging in e Southern eity be •apnef hie Republicanism, and that the Court bed to be adjourned in oonse quence”! While we may not doubt ■noh wee reported to President Grant, we do not believe It ever occurred as tbe FMrt—onth Journal represents. Oar •pinion is, that it was Akennsa's Gw- maoism which raised him to both offices. It is true he suits the administration like wax—pliant as Osrie and obsequi ous |s Boraehio. But whether'ha ia tbe right sort of bait te fish for man waters, if indeed any kinl will be acceptable there, is~ altogether another matter. We have no peraonal acquaint* anee with Mr. Attorney General so called—but. of his legal capacities for the place, we think “they are email po tatoes, few in the hill knit stringy at that.” * The'Pope- Ills Holiness is reported to be still hammering away upon Lis temporal rights. It is cause for regret, that he attaches such an infallible yearning af ter the things of the earth! Os what intrinsic value is the civil rnle of a few “acres of barren ground, long health, I brown furze, any thing”—to that illim- | itable range of spiritual power whieh be enjoys over tbe most numerous and pow erful Christian denomination ever ae eorded, .in this world, to mortal man 1 But be is not happy. He needs and must have a silly-bus fixed up expressly for Victor Emanuel’s benefit. It is none of our business we acknowledge, still we could wish tbe venerable Prelate’s clos ing life woold sanction the separation of Church and State and leave to bis eue cessors tbe sole glory and responsibility of a purely ecclesiastical jurisdiction. BULLOCK'S FINANCIERING Systematic Villainy Exposed. A BLACK~ EXHIBIT. Radical Misrule in Georgia. Where the Money Went. The Eu-Elnx Investigating Committee. Treasurer Angier's Testimony. Washington, July 31, 1871. Editors Chronicle If Sentinel; I send you further extracts from the sworn testimony of Treasurer Angier, presented to the Ku-Klux Investigating Committee at Washington, D- C-, July 14,1871 : Question —Give us all the information you have relative to the granting of pardons by the Governor, the general issuing of proclamations, offering rewards, and tne coat of these various things. Answer—l have here a statement ot tbe par dons gi anted by the Governor; It is taken di rectly from the pardon book by Mr. Hemphill, who is tbe agent of tbe Associated Press at Atlanta, and the proprietor of the Constitution, a newspaper published there. It appears by this statement that since August 2d, 1868, the Governor has acted on four hundred and twen ty-six applications for pardon. Os these, three hundred and twenty-one cases, involving thrte hundred and fji ty-six offenses, were pardoned, as follows: Murders pardoned 48 Murders commuted - 18 Simple larcenies pardoned ....76 Other larcenies - 14 Assaults with intent to murder 2U Burglaries iu the night 18 Burglaries in the day 18 Manslaughter 18 Assaults - 2(1 Assaults with iutent to commit rape f> Homicide Cheating and swindling -3 Stabbing 3 Horse stealing 7 Bigamy 6 Forgery - 4 Periury 3 Robbery - 8 Fornication and adultery 7 Seduction I Incestuous adultery 1 Arson 5 Misdemeanor 9 Bastardy 1 Rape 1 Compound felony 1 As regards the finances of the State, it is im possible to give testimony precisely without putting it in figures on paper. 1 have prepared a statement in that form, complying, as I un derstand, with the instructions which I receiv ed from the circular of the Chairman of the Committee, Mr Scott. In this statement I have tried to present as clearly as possible tbe details iu regard to the management of the State finances, and tbe contrast between dif ferent periods. This statement I certify to be correct. The statement ia as follows : 1857 Ordinary expenses of Georgia $ 275,632 43 1858— Ordinary expenses of Georgia $ 304,637 59 1859 Ordinary expenses of Georgia $ 369,653 53 1860— Ordinary expenses of Georgia $ 325,600 00 Total ordinary expenses of Georgia for four years im mediately preceeding the war $1,275,523 55 1868— Less than six months ordinary expenses of Geor gia $ 401,865 08 1869 — One year ordinary ex penses of Georgia $ 848,298 2 1870— One year ordinary ex penses of Georgia $ 924,413 27 Total ordinary expenses of Georgia for less than two and a half years, by Gov. Bullock $ 2,174,576 55 Substract total ordiuary ex- Senses for four years under lovernors Johnson and Brown $1,275,523 55 Leaves against Gov. Bul lock’s administration for less than two and a half years more than Johnson and Brown for four full years $ 899.053 03 In the above estimates the payments on ac count of public debt are taken out of both ac counts, also all appropriations to or for repairs ofbnildinga. The payments on account of school fund do not enter into the account of either ; as, under Governor Bullock s admin istration, the school fund has been taken and used for general purposes. The payments on account of artificial limbs and schooling maim ed soldiers ; burial of Confederate dead ; re moving furniture, library, office fixtures, books and papers from Milledgeville to Atlanta, are all taken out. Also payment on account of Convention scrip. So each period stands fair ly alike on ordinary expenses, which shows Governor Bullock's administration, for less than two and a half years, eight hundred and ninety-nine thousand fifty-three dollars and three cents more than Governor Johneon’s and Gov ernor Brown’s {or Jour years. With no deduction from the accounts, as of ficially reported, they stand thns : 1857 Total amount paid out of State Treasury $ 511,789 90 1858— Total amount paid out of State Treasury $ 745,470 64 1859 Total amount paid ont of SUte Treasury $ 874,465 92 186(1—Total amount paid out of State Treasury $ 662,600 00 f 2,794.336 46 1868 (less than six months) $ 430,957 77 1869 (twelve months) $ 1,857,825 98 1870 (twelve months) $ 1,470,021 02 93,756,804 11 jtMj ill nit-1 linu, .*‘l.7 ■ 1 Deduct four yean before the war **,794,336 46 Leaves an excess of Govern or Bullock for lose than twe and a half yean over four years * 964,468 31 Total for extra services for 1866, 1166, 1857, 1868, 1869, and 18*0 (six yean) * 17,000 00 Oev.

Bollock has paid by warrants on the Treasury (net charged to the contin gent fund) $ 51,100 00 Less than half the time, tbo’ thirty times as much.. Advertising proclamations, 1666,’66,’57,’58, ’59 and ’6O (six years) $ 5,000 00 Governor Bollock has paid for less than half the time by warrants on the Trea’y $ 98,300 00 Incidental expenses of Executive depart ment, 1656, ’57, ’SB, ’59, ’6O, ’66 and ’67 (sev en years,) under this head, only twenty dollars is charged, but I hare included “small articles I furnished Executive department” and “articles furnished Executive mansion,’’ making in all $2,186 76. Governor Bullock’s incidental expenses for less than three years, $23,800 00. The section of the appropriation bill author izing the Governor to draw warrants on the Treasury for service or labor authorized by tbe General Assembly, for which no provision is made for compensation, has never been used by any Governor except Governor Brown, and then in amount about seven thousand dollars, while Governor Bullock has used it to the amountof four hundred and sixteen thousand six hundred and twenty dollars and ninety cents. The annual general lax since Governor Bul lock’s administration has been about 300,000 annually more than it was before the war. — Still, he has had engraved six millions dollars new State bonds, while the rate of State taxa tion is now over six times as high as it was in 1860. Taking last year as an average, the tax for this year, independent of the rental of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, will be $1,280,756 57 Rental of Western and Atlantic Railroad 300,000 00 $L580,756 57 Ordinary expense? for 1871 500,000 00 (which is considerably over the average before tbe war, and more than in 1860). One-half rental of Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad for school purpose 150,C00 00—650,000 00 (This lut amount, however, to gether with all the other funds set apart by the new Constitution specially for common school purposes, and to be used for no other, the Governor, has, and is using for ordinary expenses) leaves a surplus to meet the public debt of 1871 930,75657 Matured State bonds before 1871- 173,000 00 Which should and would all have been hy pothecated with the seven per cent, mortgage bonds issued specially far that purpose had not Gov. Bullock, iu violation of express statute sold $265,000 and used a portion of the pro ceeds on the Kimball Opera House. State bonds due in 1871 $154,250 00 Interest due in 1871, 427,375 00—754,62500 Leaves a surplus for 1871 176,131 57 After paying all past due bonds and cou pons, where the necessity for these $6,000,000 new State bonds Governor Bullock has had engraved, or auy portion of them? With any regard for ei o lomy there should be a large surplus in the State Treasury. At the close of 1869,1 lioneHly estimated the surplus tor 1870, after paying.all libalities, including the maturing interest, at over four hundred thou sand dollars, to be used as a sinking fond. These six millions of New State bonds are exclusive of the State aid to railroads; for in dependent of this amount, tbe Governor has had engraved and sent to him State gold bonds, purporting to be for additional State aid to the Brunswick and Albany Railroad Company $ 2,760,000 00 Add to this the amount the Gov ernor reported to Henry Clews &Cos., the middle of March as having received the endorsement of the State (how many more since I do not know, as the Governor refuses to answer) 5,923,000 00 The previous bonded indebted ness, including all bonds is sued before 1869 6,554,450 00 $20,637,500 00 Deduct new currency bonds re turned to State Treasurer’s office 500,000 00 And wc have present liabilities $20,137,500 00 Counting all the bonds engraved, legitimate and in use, the amount of interest on which will be twice the amount of the annual general State tax. But the evil and danger do not stop here. The Governor approved bills granting further State aid or endorsement to railroads to the amount of about thirty millions ($30,000,000) more. And if I have been correctly informed, State endorsed bonds have been issued by Governor Bullock before a mile of railroad was completed, or the first cent of subscription paid. If this recklessness and waste are not speedily stopped, but are followed up with new issues of bonds, the result is inevitable. The State will soon be absorbed, and the toiling farmers, with what little they can gather up, will be forced to flee their homes for safety from the tax-gatherers. (Signed) n. L.

Fatal Railroad Accident.—A dispatch from Navesota, Texas, of July 29th,: says: A construction train bound north this evening, with nine cars and eighteen laborers, was precipitated into tbe Nave snta river. The accident was caused by tbe derrick of the wrecking car striking the lattera! braces and rods of the bridge. The euperstrnctnre of the first span was carried away, and the second, third end fourth spans went to the bottom with the cars and engine—a mass o i rains. Five were Knstantly killed, two fatally injured ana twelve more or lose injarea. One men was thrown twenty feet into the *ir sud, falling, vae instantly killed. 1 — Lut Tbasadey, Attorney General Akerman *aa Ac oaly member of the Adniaimital left in Washington.— Then perhaps never was a finer illustra tion es the little end of nothieg whit tled dew* to a point.— Louisville Cou- The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle speaks of Governor Bullock as having “gravitated in the Democratic ranks.” An Alabama paper says it “has heard of condensed milk, potatoes, meats, See., bat condensed Radicalism is tbe latest thing ont.” “It is pat up,” it continues, “by a few Democratic editors expressly for their Democratic friends who wen unable to swallow tbe article in its crude state. It is called ‘new depar ture.’*’ The Alabama negroes are bolding sc cret political meetings, aad white trash are warned that ii they hang around they will “go away with a flea in their ear.” Let one but whisper Ku-Klnx, however, and tbe brethren incontinently flee away with a “go” in their ear. Butler lias so far encountered only twenty-six other Radicals wbo wsnt to be Governor of Massachusetts. He thinks, however, that he squints toward the nomination more deoidcdly than any of them. The Louisville Courier-Journal says it is firing into the “Bourbons” rather than the radicals, because tbe former “will get in the way." The Boorbons “get in the way” becaose they know too much to be afraid of blank cartridges. A negro juryman went to sleep during the trial of a case at Lake City, in Flor ida, last week, and was robbed of a pocket-book by a brother juryman who sat next to him, also colored. Nice crowd to try other people’s rights. The New York Sun has an account of an Indiana man who “preaches like Mr. Beecher, lectures like John B. Gough, and gets married like G. G. Bowen.” Now if the mao could only travel like Grant, drink like Dick Yatee, aud steal like Ben Butler, be would be a perfect prodigy. Tbe Albany News says that the col ored convention of Dougherty county, held on the 22d ultimo, nominated all sound Democrats for county officers, and there is not a Radical jn tbe field.— Wbat do you say to that, Mr. Greeley 1 Was it tbe work of the Ku-Klux 1 The Grand Encampment. —The Grand Encampment of the Odd Fellows of tbe State of Georgia bold tbeir an nual convention here Wednesday. There was an unusually full attend ance of the members of the noble broth erhood from every portion of the State.

Hanged. —Jim Toombs, negro, was hanged at Periy, Houston county, on Friday last, lor killing another negro who was working with him in a field, about seven months ago. When on tbe gallows be gave the negroes present some good advice. He told them to throw away their firearms, be industri ous and obey tbe law. He said that having no master and a pistol bad brought him to the gallows. —Macon Telegraph. Ned Myers and Lewis Coppedge, col ored, recently suffered tbe extreme pen alty in North Carolina for murder. Cop - pedge made a speech from tbe gallows in which be said : “There is a party they call tbe Union party—tbe Radical party. They never do us any good. They do us barm. They make us do mean things. No Radical ever come to me and said, Lewis here is something for you before you die. I advise you all to take care of yourselves.” Radical Africa Broke Loose in Charles ton. —Tbe Charlestonians, on Monday, had a fearful time. The Radical ne groes paraded tbe town, assaulted sev eral houses and their inmates with clubs and brickbats, demolishing win dows—plundered stores, and made sev eral attempts to fire them, which fortu nately were frustrated. Tbeir fury seemed to have been mainly directed against tbe Germans, for no other rea son conceivable than that General Wagoner, the conservative candidate for Mayor, is a German, and they made lively threats of burning down every Dutchman’s bouse. The telegram re ports that on Tuesday night after the votes were polled, both parties claimed the victory. But, if we are not mistaken, tbo law allows the canvassers several days to make out tbe returns—so that the result is not determined by voting, but by coqnting.— Telegraph . Two hundred and twenty-two actors, actresses, and other theatrical people, in New York, are seeking professional en gagements for the autumn. New York city has four hundred and sixty miles of streets, three hundred and forty miles of water pipes, and two hundred and seventy*five miles of sew ers, nineteen thousand gas lamps, thir teen hundred care and omnibuses, and ainety-fonr thousand carriages. There Is a Difference. —New York city owes a debt of $50,000,000. Her assets to meet this debt foot up $266,000,000. The city is nnder Democratic rule. Philadelphia owes a debt of $50,000,- 000. The tax in tbe city is $5 40 on the SIOO, jnst about the heaviest rate of taxation in the country. Philadelphia is in the hands of tbe Radicals. The State of California ie controlled by Democrats, and its bonds are SIIIJ. Kentucky is under Democratic man agement, and its bonds are $1 10£. This beats Ku-Klux. What States run by tbe Radicals present a better.— Ex. John Martin, of the Young Ireland party, who was sentenced to death twenty-five years ago, and afterward had bis sentence commuted to transpor tation for life; for participation in the Irish rebellion of that date; is now a member of the British Parliament. “Tbe whirligig of time bath its re* vangei.” jMBIT-wSro.
