It is said tliat Alexis subjected Ho -r-
enkoff, his valet, to the kuont. at aieni-

So says an exchange. Is it possibl
that Alexis has Hoopenkoff at his tire,

To show the means to ■which Clews
resorts in his desperate attempts fc
bring odium upon Georgia for the an
ticipated non-payment of those fraud
ulent bonds be holds, and also to show
liow little integrity there is among the
well-known New York journals, wt-
Kive the following extract from the
Savannah News:
A well-known citizen of New York,
in a letter to'ns, says: “You speak oi
, thA'asaauifcs on the: credit of Georgi-
in the financial columns of certain
New York journals. Do yon not know
that Mcllin, of the World, Jackson, o
the Express, and the commercial mar
of the Evening Post, all have thei:
desks in the office of Henry Clews A
Co., and that they all blow through tin
same horn ? If you don't know it, 1

Tins brief statement, says the News,
explains the animus of all the false
and .insidious “assaults on the credit
of Georgia,” which hate appeared is,
the financial columns of the World
and Post, marked copies of which have
been so liberally distributed here.

.The United States claims remuner-
.ation of England for damages caused
ay the privateer Alabama during the
late war, because England . allowed
his vessel to be built in one of her
ports, and afterwards allowed supplies
to be furnished her. The amount, oi
damages to* be pr.id is left to a com
mission which recently assembled at
Geneva. The United States claims
payment not-only for .the actual de
struction of property by the Alabama,
but for all the indirect damage caused.
They edaiun that the war was prolong
ed over a year by the support which
England gave the Confederate States
by means of the Alabama, and that
consequently all the expcLse of the
last year of the war ought to be paid
by England. This exceedingly mod
est request lias aroused the indigna
tion of the English press and people,
though we believe there have been no
official utterances on the subject.
The Uuited States are hot much dis
posed to back down in the matter.—
President Grant and his supporters
are greatly puffed up, and doubtless
think this country can whip the uni
ted world in a fair fight. They are al
so emboldened by the fact that En
gland has consented to allow them am.
damages at all, to become exorbitant
in their demands.
The New York Herald estimates the
ilamages at one thousand million dol
lars. John Bull will not pay that
amount without a struggle. He raay

-An-HonestMas.—Among the cor-
- rapt men who went into office when
- Bullock was inaugurated,.the honesty
' of one shines out like a glittering star.
on the black-bosom of night. We re-
-•fer to Treasurer Angier. When all
around him yielded to the desire for
. plunder and theft which seems an in
' separable part of the character of ev
ery Southern Radical ofnee-hbider, he
stood alone in liis integrity—the only
honest one among them. Bullock
soon found out that Angier would not
-join him in his schemes of plunder
’ nor .connive, at them, and ignored him
as far ashe.conld. From first, to last,
1 Angier has been* trne to the interest of
.tho State whose treasury is under his
control. Tho State .has been plun
dered to an almost inconceivablv
1 amount, but it was all done-in spite of
Angier, not with his consent; if he-had
lent himself to the schemes of the plun
derers, we should have most probably
been bankrupt. All honor, then, to
this “lone star” of Southern Radical-
iam—the only one in all the ranks who
Maen-’t stolen all he could get his hands-
quietly see his coffers rifled.jto that
extent. Because he has had no war
in'a long time, he may have grown
inactive, but when a"-hand is put. in
his treasure-box, a tender spot is
touched ,; and be will ' do more than
wince.
The United States, because they
conquered the Southern.Confederacy,
by blockading her ports and drawing
recruits from the whole world, have
become arrogant and self-conceited.—
they think they have the power to
whip England, absorb Canada, Cuba,
Mexico, and perhaps the rest.of man
kind.. They think they have only to
make a demand of any power and it-
will be aceeded to. Holding such
hi^h opinion of themselves" they are
not likely to modify their demands.
If, then, neither party yields, a war
must be the consequence. This
country is in’ no condition for a war.
Gen. Grant, in his inordinate vanity,
may overlook its weakness, and not
see a great many things which others
see; .If he counts on any "support
from the South, he is just so far mista
ken. The people who have been con-
quered-in a long and bloody struggle,
and who have ever since peace was de
clared,‘been oppressed by the most
galling tyranny, will not strike hands
with their conquerers and oppressors,
iiud„; standj shoulder to*' shoulder
with them on the battle-field. A con-
ciliatoiy course immediately after the
war, would most probably have won ns
to heart-aUegiaBce to tlie'.Uiiitccl States;
hut the whole course of the Federal
Government has been one of opi.-res-
Sion,aud“?re7an'e it with a‘hatred, too
intense far expression. . No true South
ron will ever fight under the United
States flag
s controlling the State, and nowb
fc-urs that the nexbLegi ? latnre will re
pudiate these bonds and he will be
left to whistle for all the greenback
ha furnished Bullock. Treasurer An
gier stales most psoitively that a very
iarge amount of these bonds (we forget
just now how machjwere issued i»y
Bullock without having been register
ed in his office, as the law requires,
that they are therefore illegal, and th.-
the State is under no me-r.il or leg..;
obligation to pay them, because the}
were issued contrary to the law; tbs:
he notified Clew.s at the time he was
taking them nj> that they were fraud
ulent. and why they were so, and thui
they would not be paid.
Angier’s points were well taken.
The law prohibits the issuing of bona
without their having, been registered
m the Treasurer's office. Ciews ou,
to have known tnis ivitko-.t being tolu
by Angler, and doublxoss chd know it.
But he trusted too - ’ confidently in
.he permanence of the Radical pariy
in Georgia. If this party could have
continued to ho.d sway m this State,
if a Radical Governor ami -Legislatin',
could have kept control of the State
and her finances, these bonds wuuiu
nave been paid; but us honest' men
now have control, it is very UoUhtlh
if Henry Clews & Co., ever get a cent.
We consider Bullocks conduct in .the
matter as a misdemeanor for which h.
ought to be punished, and we believe
that CJtws <fc r Co., went into the tram
action wiih the intention ;ji swiiidiuq.
the State of Georgia.
A Committee of the Legislature is in
vestigalmg this wuoie uuuu business,
and tiiey wni report, to xiiat bony at
its assembling in July. The Com
mittee is composed of honest and
fearless? men; they will report what
they believe to be'right ;the L.gisiaturc
we feel sure, will act in strict accord
ance with justice. If the bonds were
lawfully issued they will* be paid; if
not, Clews A Co., will have to whistle
aud curse Bullock and their own tem
erity.

Governor Smith has appointed Wm.

Governor Smith lias refused to par
don a young man who. was fined ono
hundred dollars and committed to jai:
in Macon for swindling a warehouse
firm. The application for pardon was
endorsed by both the presiding Judge
and the Solicitor. We judge from
this that Governor Smith's pardons
will be few and far between, and then,
only in extraordinary cases.

had previously found §50,000 in notqs

Gush and cash items. The discount
balance of the bank shows §.)7,000.—
L’here is. about §15,000 yet to be
found. When "this is found it will
make the. sum of §122,000, comrid .'ring
all assets good.

s ius resorted to a singular device to
Irire C-iptain Wliit Anderson and
Captain John S. Wise from their dut ,
in watching the vault of the Georgia

hopes of freezing out the guard they
turned of the steam and left them “in

as’ ingenions.
