rr... . . • '..■■•■nffi " Louisville, Gra: FRIDAY AUGUST 25, 1871. As flds of Crisis. From all parts of the country there is heard the deepest amazement end awe at the amount and magnitude of offen ces and. the increasing boldness oi the violation of the laws- It has been ashed "is suicide epidemical 1” as if the natural elements had usurped, or were about to ooutrol the moral suasion of the world—which, lot it be as it may, will hardly ever be solved to any satis factoiy advantage: while In another aspect the close proximity which suicide sustains to the immoralities and crimin aliliesof society, oannot fail to attri bute a large number of its victims to their influence. That crime actuates self-destruction is beyond question : it even anticipates the horrors of wounded pride in having to meet the sneers of former acqaintsnces, that would follow upon the revelations of guilt. But num erous and deplorable as all are, they sink ia the roll of infamy and wrong to a mere ripple, compared to tbe height and breadth of the colossal wave that bean upon its swelling crest a thousand fold more of murders and robberies, ar sons, thefts, embezzlements, forgeries and peijaiies with all the remaining atrocities that fill np the catalogue of other dreaded crimes—not omitting the equally long list of minor trespasses and misdemeanors. It is these which con stitute the moral inundation that has ‘‘in creased, and is stilt increasing”—that pervades alike the Court, the camp—the Halls of Legislation and Justice—the Church-—the social-domestic circle,— even the sacred province of woman’s sphere—and is striking terror and con sternation into the minds and hopes of civilized men, no matter where their homes, or what thoir rank, pursuits or fortune! And strange and paradoxical as it may seem, those nations or com munities that claim to be the more learn ed and advanced in the roll of civili zation and Christianity, are the ones whose examples aud illustrations betray the greatest repugnance. In the lan guage of the Homan moralist, construed to onr understanding, ‘‘what once were vices are now the.manners of the day— such is tbe general depravity that what onee was imputed as a crime, is now re garded as a talent,” And what is still more remarkable may be adduced, the degrading, corroding, and, to all appear Jinces, irremediable fact that those crimes and immoralities are winked at or per mitted to go ‘unwhipped of justice'! Is it not true— or does any one really be lieve that such statements are not only unfounded, but vile absurdities 1 For the sake of our common country, and impelled by the hope that the eyes of our people may be opened to the glaring and terrible dangers which threaten their peace, prosperity and lines, through the perpetration of crimes of all grades and degrees—the daily and alarming spread and contagious charac ter of those crimes—together with the fostering aid and encouragement they receive, and by which they thrive, have their being and defy the Courts and Ju ries—their prosecutors and officers—we present a succinct tabular account of the pardons which Governor Bullock has granted to criminals since his term of office began. The account is made out most carefully, and certified to be correct, by his Secretary, Ur. Atkinson. We shall not copy it entire, or word for word, but give substantially tbe number and character of the offences. No list of criminals' names, accompanied the ac count. In the space of three years exactly, that ia from July 4, 1868, to July 4, 1871, Governor Bullock paidoned from the Penitentiary and tbe different Jails of the State, Four hundred and ten criminals —the larger portion of whom, were either undergoing pun ishment or awaiting trial, while proba bly, some were at large under bonds for appearance. Os this battalion of law breakers, there were 41 for murder; 15 commuted murderers ; 24 for manslaugh ter; 7 for involuntary manslaughter; assaults with intent to mnrdcr 36 ; for burglary in the night time 41; do., in -theday, II; simple larceny 68; lar ceny from the person 1; do., from the bouse 14; do., after trust delegated 5; ether larcenies 24; assault and battery 14; assault 8; do., with intent to rape 5 ; arson 6 ; robbery 8; Stabbing 3; cheat ing 3 ; swindling 4 ; incestuous adul tery 1; bigamy 6; fornication 3; adul tery 6; forgery 4; perjury 3 ; seduc tion 2; kidnaping 1; bastardy 1 ; rape 1; bribery 1; compounding felony 2; malpractice in office 1; aiding prison- CVS to escape 2; Bond Conor's, for OC g. lect of dutyt; intermarrying within levitieal degrees of affinity 1; misde meenm29; contempte< Court 1. we chffirge Gov. Jnfceck mast all of the eases for murder where a pardon baa boon granted before trial” (there were just 25! of these,) “the Indictments therefor had been (bond be fore tbe late wtMgd M feme of |hpm during tbe was.lnA /Upen ded Executive interposition in behalf of the ntelt material witnesses on the part of the defease have removed beyond tbe jurisdiction of the State and others have died ; while in several other instances, the State on acconnt of the absence of some of its most important witnesses has failed to proaecnte the case after the in dictments had been found, and cases of that character were in abeyance on the criminal dockets of the several Courts for years —postponed and continued,from term o term, greatly to the annoyance and detriment of the accused party or parties.” Now, we will simply at this time express our astonishment, that sneh flimsey and impertinent excuses or rea sons were all that Gov. Bullock eould find to sanction his flagrant violation of the rights and jurisdiction of the Super ior Courts of tbe Slate—a jurisdiction co-ordiuate with his own office, and if tbe spirit as well as letter of our Con stitution would be properly and honest ly interpreted and respected—in all cases like these 25 ante-trial pardons, particularly those mentioned by his Sec retary—the Conrts would have an ex clusive and paramount power, which his Excellency would not dare to invade or usnrp. Does it not strike the mind of every one, that his pardons m these cases where he assumed to ssy ‘justice demanded Executive interposition that tbe Courts could and in all probability, wonld have dismissed or quashed the indictments ? Does it not occur to ev ery one’s mind that the denfendants Counsel would have moved for such dismissals ? The specious sophistry of the Governor in justification of these pardons where no convictions existed, and his seating himself upon the Bench to the exclusion ol' its rightful occupants, make a double if not triple raid upon tbe Constitution, that bears a close re semblance to bis descent upon tbe Treasury, and violation of the rights of Treasurer Angier ! But we will defer further strictures to another time—and in tbe interval hope our people will not fail to ponder over these pardons as one of the causes why crimes are so alarm ingly on the increase in our country. Tbe Uncertainty of oar Laws. The ambiguity as well as tbe multi plicity, of our various laws—tbe igno rance and corruption of a large majori ty of our Judges, and the rapidity with which theirrulings and decrees are forced upon the country, lias well nigh culmin ated to that point which marks them not simply uncertainties but positive nuisanc es'. Before the war we certainly had fewer Judicatories, both Federal and State, fewer laws, and at least two thirds less of officials, with far more of justice and much less of expense than now! The integrity of the Bench—from the Supreme Court of the U. S., down to the lowest State tribunal—was then the theme of almost universal commenda tion—whilst its legal ability was fully up to all existing circumstances, and al ways corrected or supplied wherever de ficient, by the general disposition.ro do what wag right, if tbe right coaid be made apparent. But we are sorry to say that such is not the state of things to-day, bat a sad and most lamenta ble change rules the hoar 1 Oar laws seem to be administered through favor, or in the hope of some kind of reward foreign to a disinterested and honest in terpretation of their letter and spirit. Political-party questions, controlled by the 'bulls and bears' of tho political ‘Bings’ who pay out their bribes and douceurs like English Mi P’s., buying np votes—influence and corrupt tbe pub lic sentiment, if not the individual' man himself—who in turn yields to the se- ductive charms of personal friendship or the epidemical tolerance of the vi rions custom ; and to such we may at tribute in groat part, the unparalleled amount of crime which now floods tLe land, pervading all ranks and profess ions—the old and young—the married and single of both sexes and every hue. The fountain head is contaminated, and the tributaries only swell the poison of tbe main channel. Again, if tbe Courts punish offences, the co-ordinate branch es of tbe Government, destroy tbe ef fects by pardoning tho offenders, or commuting their punishment—-thus in viting the same or new parties, to farther transgressions, or causing the courts to be indolent or disheartened. What a gigantic bid for crime of every sort and degree, is Bullock’s 410 pardons against 61 (which he-denied,) ia tbe space of 3 years of his administration ! What a damaging effect upon tbe morals of so eiety, will his 7 pardons for Bigamy have, especially when it is remembered that he has upheld and licensed, as it were, that dishonorable crime by his not refusing one s olitary application fey that offence 1 If noy thing cau possibly eu courage tbe commission of vice in all its monstrous shapes, and help to scatter it aptuq? himfotj^^L^^of all laws lumen a|d diffineAanir u lone re creant to hia oath of office to seatain the' rights snd interests of tbe people of the State of Georgia. We again repeat, “Thieves for their robbery, have authority. When Judges steal themselves.” # Statistical' M Fre«r*Mwef «wrumaknges, the-Ports mouth (N. H.) Journal, we extract the following items, from which it may he inferred, that tho werld not only moves but is progressing at a Dexter-like stride, compared with tbe Conoasoga steps of earlier times. “It was nearly a hundred years after the landing of tbe Pilgrims at the Colonists at tbe Piscataqqa, before any attempt was made to supply them with the printed news; and another hundred nearly elapsed before much ad vance was made upon the firstvude spe cimens of the typographic art of which the Newspaper then consisted.” “The first newspaper published in this country was the “Boston News-Letter, the initial number of which was issued on Monday, April 24, 1704”—a little less than 74 yean after Boston was set tled, and not quite two years before Benjamin Franklin was born !” The on ly copies of tl;is number, known to be in existence, are hut three; one of which is in tbe possession of tbe Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston : the others, belong to the American Antiquarian So ciety, Worcester, Mass.; and the New York Historical Society. It consists of two pages of two columns each, on a sheet of about the size of common foolscap pa per, and professes to he ‘published by authority.’ Tho editor and proprietor was John Campbell, who was also Post Master of Boston—printed by B. Green, and ‘sold by Nicholas Boone at his shop near the Old Meeting House.” Throe of tho four columns of which it is com posed are extracts from the London Fly ing Po6f, of December 2d to 4th, 1703, and the London Gazette, about matters chiefly relating to tbe present danger of the Kingdom and tbe Protestant reli gion, followed by an acconnt of the open ing of Parliament and the Queen’s speech from tho throne, which is devot ed to tbe same subject. Notice is given of two vessels which arc to sail for Lon don, one the ‘Adventurer,’ of sixty tuns, in three weeks or a month’s time ! The last item in the last column is an adver tisement, that the News Letter is to be continued weekly ; and all persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms, Ships, Vessels, Goods, Wares, Merchandise, See., to ho Sold or Let— or Servants Runaway, or Goods Stole or Lost, may have the same inserted at a reasonable Rate, from twolvo pence to five shillings and not to exceed,—who may agree with John Campbell, Post Master of Boston, See., Sea. This ‘News- Letter’ was regularly published for 72 years, and was the office ia which Frank lin “first tried his ’prentice hand as a writer as well as compositor and press man.” It had things all to itself, for 15 years before any rival dared to dispute the field; and excites our curiosity to know what cross the Puritan Fathers struck that first infused into their de scendants the go-ahead, 2.40 pace, that now drives them every where and into every thing ? We learn from the Savannah News that a severe wind and rain storm visit ed that city on Friday last, doing con siderable damage; and great anxiety is felt for the safety of vessels along tbe coast. Use of the Army.— Tbe Now York Commercial Advertiser (Republican) says that hundreds of families are left defenceless to the torch and knife of tbe western savages, while the United States army is scattered over the South hunt ing “hypothetical Ku-Klux.” General Sherman appeals to the Administration and tells them “the army is in no con dition to meet the requirements .of the war with the Sioux,” but the party ne cessities of Grant are more imperative than the woes of the frontier, people. Besides, Mr. Advertiser, adds the Ma con Telegraph, the frontier people are only whites. The Commissioner of Pensions esti mates that there are at least forty thou sand people, soldiers and widows, of tbe war of 1812, who will be entitled to pensions under the act of February 14 1871, This number will require the sum of four million dollars annually. When the the bill was under discussion last winter, the maximum number of the pensioners living was supposed to be only nine thousand, but the estimate of the commissioner is most likely to be correct. This will require an appropria tion for pensions next year of fully thir ty five millions of dollars. The total number of applications for 1812 pen sions to date is 30,340. The Mackerel Trade, —A telegram from Halifax on Fridy, Ilth inst* re ports that immense quantities of mack erel have strock in along the coast in that neighborhood, and that there Were were neither barrels nor salt enough tij be had to cure all that are caught. The market price at Halifax is now ten cents per dozen, and per barrel it has gone down to $6. This will cause a heavy loss to tbe merchants who have not sold the fish purchased at the old high prices, A New York letter says there are one tbossand families in that city who each spend 230,000 • year, ft.WHUUIKBT' Place s ;_, of Yq||MMHHHHppKant ar rests ec ted with a matter of the greatest importance gjfeagßgj tial secretary or clerk in the office of Superintendent of the Western And At lantie Reilroadithe other member of TheraSrw«^h £ «reied h^2’e instance of Foster Blodgett, who char ged them, under oath; with cheating and swindling' the State, or the fhnte Read, in tfcesomof sixteen hundr&Ool- The parties were brought before Judge B. D. Smith, N. I’., and -era bond in the sum of Twm Thousand fMlars ! fox, their the Superior Court, to answer to ti* change Fry, as soon ss the hond was given, forfeited his re cognizance and left qb* city. The mer chant arrested has no idee or leaving, bus is going to stay, attend chart, and seethe ease out—so For more than a year, eertifte par ties have made it their special business : to watch narrowly, in order to learn where tbe esraiugs of tbe State Road were going to, and aptly whet became of the half million of which Foster Blodgett.ought to have paid into the State Treasury. They have' care' fully pie|ted np threads here and there, and preserved them with sleepless vigi lance, giving heed to but little else.— They, it seems, had either suede some discoveries which were tangible, or were on the eve of getting a cine that was likely to make some rich developments, when Foster Blodgett, who must have known or suspected what was going on, caused the arrest office persons alluded to, charging them with swindling the State Road in the-turn of $f,666! It is believed' that Fry|has carried off with him a large amount of money— perhaps twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars, more or less—which justly be longs to tbe people of Georgia, and that lie will uever be seen bore again, unless he is caught and brought back by force, which we hope will be the case. It is strange that these arrests should have been made at the instance of Fos ter Blodgett; that the suss involved, as named iu the warrant is only $1,600; that the investigation before the magis trate shonld have been so quietly con ducted—scarcely any. one knowing any thing of it, and that bail should have been fixed at the pitifnl sum of $2,000, and that Fry should have bad an oppor tunity to escape ! All these things are suspicious. We hope the earnest effort to unearth the secrets of the financial administra tion of Bullock and Blodgett will be pursued vigorously, tiM they are all ful ly unearthed and exposed to the public gaze; and that whoever may be found to be guilty, may be made to suffer the extreme penalty of tbe law. We clip the following shots from tbe Atlanta Sun, of yesterday : Why Retained and Paid f— It seems that a number of the higher officers on the State Road, under the administra tion of Gov. Bullock and Oapt. Blodgett, how many we do not know—have re tained their places and their pay, from the time tbe road was turned over to the lessees till now. What was this for 1 One or two clerks in the Executive Department could have wound np the unfinished business of the road, or Borne person or persons could have been assigned to that duty, without keeping underpay a routine of high-salaried officers. Bat an important feature in this mat ter seems to have escaped public atten tion. There were iaage balances owing to the road by connection railroads, and other parties. We are told that all these balances, as far as they nave been collected, have gone into the hands of Foster Blodgett. We would like to know how much of this money has been collected, and how mnch of it has reached the State Treasury? Will Dr. Angier inform usl The Corean War. Admiral Rodgers has bad a second en gagement with the Coreans, and added additional lustre to American arms; but his subsequent course shows that the advantages gained are questionable at beßt, and his victory a bootless one. In the second engagement, on the 10th of Jane, meagre accounts of which have been received by the laat steamer from Chins, the forts were storqied and taken after a stubborn resistance by the Core ans, who numbered six thousand. The American loss was small, bnt among tbe killed was Lieuteaaht McKee, of Ken tucky' On the 11th the guns were spiked and the forts demolished. After waiting a flaw days, vainly endeavoring to negotiate with the native officials, the squadron returned to China. The En glish press in China pronounce the ex pedition a failure, add say the ahddbn re torn of Admiral Rodgers means that he was practically defeated. The Coreans, however, are not done with their tum bles. Two Englishmen and a German have been seized by the authorities and sent into the interior This outrage ia to be avenged, an English squadron hav ing been sent to demand redress, backed by a force sufficient to .a we the Coreans into submission.
