We hope our readers will greatly miss

with our temporary suspension,—for
then we will feel sure they appreciate
it. When we return we will endeav
or by harder work tbun ever to make

Atlanta, Ga, July 6th 1874.
J. O. A. Houser, T. C. Houston

Dear Snt.—It appears from the
books of thia office that you have
overpaid your tax account for the
year 187?, nine hundred and thirteen
dollars and 50' cents.
Yonrs truly,
W. L. Goldsmith, Comp. Gen.
Communicated,
Mn. Edstok.—While we are looking
around for men to represent ns in the
Legislature, Let mo sny that my
choice for one is B. M. Davis, Esq.,
of Perry, Though a young man, his
high character. - and his rapid prog
ress toward the top rank of his pro
fession, his stndions habits, logical
mind, sound principles and happy
gift of eloquence, render him pecu
liarly fitted to do honor to his county
ns well as to himself. I think it but
just that wo who have passed the mer
idian of life should give the young
men a showing, especially as we re
ly mostly on their efforts to achieve
success in onr electious. He has
many friends who will give him tlieir
earnest support. Let ns give him
the nomination. Respectfully,
A. Citizen.

were appointed Road Commissioners
in the place of Judge J. M.. Davis and
Ur. J. M. Simmons.
The salary of the efficient Clerk,
Mr. Edward: Jnokson, was fixed at
5400-a; year.
The jailer was ordered- to keep a
hook stating ta$ time prisoners were
taken in and discharged!
The board then adjourned, to; meet
"Wednesday, the loth'instant;
of the books, accounts, etc.) of Coun
ty Officers. For wbat pul-pose Would
you have this done, I Would respect
fully ask? Simply to know how they
were using the trust imposed in them,
ami recommending that in the future,
they slionid do better.
I tell yo nr, such has been the case
too. long and often for the good of our
county, and I am of the opinion that
had proper steps been taken in mat
ters of this kind, ere this, onr taxes
would be less burdensome tban at
present You aro aware that this is a
very grave charge for yon to make
and endeavor to sustain.
The idea that you would have your
readers believe that men, under the
oath administered to Grand Jnries,
wonhl, for malice or some similar
cause, find a bill against an innocent
party, aDd that, too, for no better rea
son than the fact that the money,
then aud for some lime, had been due
the county for . tuxes collected had,
after repeated demands from the
Treasurer, and threats from our pre
decessors, since been paid in! I might
add, however, that not until this bill
had been found, was the deficiency
made up.
You say we should have given Mr.
Houser sufficient time to correct this
unfortunate mistake and refunded the
money. We claim that if the money
had ever been collected, there should
have been uo time wanted.
I notice that Mr. Houser, -with the
a'dof his efficient ConstabV, Mr. Brun
son, k; 8 ai.d is still causing considera
ble trouble amongst the defaulters on
the tax list, and which I consider
right and proper; but at the same
time, what is “sauce for the goose
should be for the gander.”
I felt it a duty, Mr. Editor, incum
bent upon some one to reply to ibis
said severe charge, nnd I being one of
that jury, I feel it a duty—no less
mine than others; hence this effort.—
And, now, Mr. Editor, whether 3 on

We thought our position concerns
ing the Tax Collector, was plain
enough to bu understood by every
one. As it is a matter of no individu
al interest to ns, wc dislike to have
the matter again brought before our
renders. Yet, it seems we were not
explicit enough to satisfy all.
The only point objected to by. Mr.
Killen is the charge that the Grand
Jury acted without du : coi sidemti n,
and that we have denounced the Grand
Jurors for their sworn duty.
By the rules of pleading we shall
not answer the communication, but
will pnt in a plea of the general issue

language was exc**ptionably good.
After which G. Washington Allen
was introduced by Bass as the orator
of the day; and for nearly an hour ho
waded through a tedious written re
view of the history .of America. He j
lacked just about a drink and a half of
being in eloqnent tune, and said little
or nothing relating to politics, only
alluding once or twice to “the bast (?)
government the world ever saw.”—
The negroes did not appreciate it, and
wln-n he concluded most of his audi
tory were sound, asleep. We should
have stated that he began by prancing
around to one corner of the table,
spreading out his manuscript, stri
king au attitude, aud crying i,i deep,
sonorous tones, “Fellow citizens.” .
The exercises closed aud Belcher,
thc Macon negro postmaster, was m-
rtced to speak oti general politics.
He is rather a good-looking octoroon,
about thirty-five years of age. He
made the best Radical speech we ever
heard. He said he ignored all issues
between the Democratic and Republi
can parties on finance, etc,, and rested
the issue of the campaign on-the civ
il rights bill. The colored men
should b ) placed on the jnry list-, and
he attacked our officers as construing
the words “upright and intelligent”
in our jury law to mean “white men.”
Colored men had the right to ride
with the whites in cars and boats*
and stop at the same hotels, etc., etc.
I have no ehmUy or prejudice against
the Democratio party or the white
people; I am in favor of universal
amnesty, ana the removal of every
■disability from the whites who the
world (lcciqes were lately in rebellion,’
thb’ if they had been victorious they
would have beeu patriots; lint I want
them to grant me every right they
demand. As to. schools he wanted
equal, access to :ill, ;uid lioped the day
would soon come, when Athens would,
be open to colored youths, like Glas
gow, Oxford and Bonn. He defended
Freeman a-s justifiable iu entertainin;
the negro delegates at Griffin. Said
at one time lio was afmul Freeman
would not stand up to his colored
constituency, but now he had voted
for the civil rights bill and p.iactically
illustrated his faith, he recommended
him-to the support of the colored vo
ters: • He had read in Goldsmith’s An
imated Nature that the difference of
men in-olor was purely accidental, as
were white anil black liorscs, dogs,
etc. He wanted the day to soon come
when thoie would truly he. “no dis
tinction as t.or:iee. color o' previous
condition.” He advised the negroes
sert that with the farmers here, there
will be more fall crops put in tbis fall
than has been for any single year in
ton. Let cotton demand twenty cents,
and the case will stand the same.
The farmer has begun to change,
and he is iu earnest. Already they
are seeing and feeling a difference in
the one crop plan, and that of diversi
fying. This state of things will soon
bring peace and plenty iu the laud,
lift debt from our shoulders (for we
are determined to pay our jnst debts,)
nnd once more place os on the high
road to su ecess.
I must not omit to tell you, onr lit
tle burg has quite a come out. On
last Monday, the “picter”.man come
along and spread his tent, and opened
his door wide, as the good patriarchs
of old did, and invites the weary pil
