FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1873
Governor Smitli.
The Executive ol Georgia, at the pres
ent lin*e, is about »f ptjjnilar as was Gov i
ernor Bn lock, just previous to the ialtei 1
official's dit-giaccful exit from the State. .
We and. m’t nn-un to intimate that Smith j
may seek a bomt-stewl irr Canada —hot ,
if lie should, there weuid be »h little re
gret expressed as in lie* esse of I* its i' - :
lastrioua predecessor. Ilia Excellency j
is charged with falsehood and treachery, |
and it is laid that Jos. E. Brown is the j
power behind the throne, and the real j
Governor of Georgia. Smith, accord
ing to our intormatii n, has proved false
to slniost every promise made to friends,
and Iras arrayed against him a hostile
power, that will make his administration
other tiisn pleasant. Ilia appointments,
in almost every instance, were in oppo
sition to the expressed w ish of Represen
tatives, ami without regard to the quail
filiations of applicants. If is true they
were approved Ry the Senate, but in
aacli a manner ns to carry with it con
dvmuatiou of the Executive.
MrHBAOK nX Tile GJVKLN ROF MaINF. |
We have received the annual message
of Govern*t StoNltY I’kioiam, of Maine, |
addressed to tin- L"gislalurc of tint
State. It is a sensible, practic tl docu
merit, devoid of politics, and gives evi
dence that tire Executive of Maine looks
litter the material welfare of Iris people.
Withal, Ins is o Xf'bcr Governor, (a rare
instance in these degenerate Jays), and
urges upon his Legislature a considera
tion of the question of temperance—con
tending that the use of intoxicating
drinks is the rea' caosc of crime in the
United Stato-s. We would like to re
publish his remar ks in reference to tc rp
pornecc reform, but our space will not
permit.
Oov Perhaps is a relative of our clev
er townsman, Mr. A P. I’erham, and as
on evidence of the esteem in which lie is
held by the people of Maine, the present
Is his fourth term in the Executive chair.
AN UNGRA’I EFlll PARTY.
End Douglass is unhappy! Ho is
always unhappy; lie vvus unhappy as a
slave, an unbnppy r nnnvvuj , and is now
a miserable, dissatisfied po'ilician. lie
has much cause fur his present unhap
piness—lor Grant, the zealous friend of
thn "man and brother, 1 ’ is not "testing
fair." President Grant permits the
"poor white trash”—the p«1o skinned
"bnckra”—to monop ilize the offices, mid
tho "colored hrethren” arc left out in flu
cold. Fred Dooglnss vouches for in
stances, where colored men, competent
to discharge lire duties of office, have
been forced to give way, to make room
for disrepntub'e nml incompetent car
pet-baggers. The color of the skin, ac
cording to F. D„ is nn important con
sideration with General Grant. The
Radicals cannot, and never will, appre
ciate the colored mail, except as u voter.
THE WHIRLIGIG OF .TIME.
Tlie Cincinnati Enquirer culls to mind
n bit ot history, iu commenting on tlie
Credit Mubilier villainy, which becomes
interesting at this time ns showing tlmt
"the whirligig of time brings in his re
venges.” In 1803, the lion. Alex. Long,
who then represented the Cincinnati
district, made a speech in Congress
against tim further prosecution of the
war. It was a dignified off it, and re
flected personally upon no one. hut it
was an anti-war speech. Mr. Speaker
Colfax ihuuglil proper to descend from
his chair nnd offer a resolution for the
• Xpnision ol Mr. Long. It was suppor
ted by General Garfield in an elaborate
speech, and only failed for want of the
requisite two-thirds vote. Ten years
have passed, and now Colfax nnd Gar
field arc in the same condition as Mr.
Long. Propositions for their expulsion
and impeachment are pending, with this
difference, and it is a big one, that in
Mr. Long's ease it only referred lo an
expression of opinion, while in their ca
ses it goes directly to moral corruption
and criminal villainy. 1 And thus tho
whirligig of lime tilings in his revenges.”
The Favanpati licpubtican says: A
barkeeper sued a man for a liquor bill.
Tbc man prov< and that lie was drunk on
one occasion when the barkeeper furnish
ed him with ttqnnr. The court decided
that the bar bill for tho whole current
year was null and void, on account ol
the law which provides that no barkeep
er shall sell liquor lo a man who is in
toxicated.

If the'State accepts this proposition,
it will have to issue about $1,000,000

This proposition ia made on the part
of banks and capitalists, who own m -re
of tlie valid Ronds of Georgia than of its
discredited —one ol them ufono, (Mr.
Russell Sage) holding over $1,000,000
of good and acknowledged bonds, while
he owns only $50,000 of those which
have been declared null and void.
Irr this matter I represent the foreign
ns we’l ns lie Am rican bondholders
and am uutherz-d to express li e acqui
escence of tho holders ol every on -of the
discredited bonds iu the prop sand set
tlement Tit mas L. Snead,
Agent of tho Bondholders.
Atlanta, Feb. 12, 1873.
The foregoing is tlie full text of lire
compromise proposed by Col. Snead, or.
tlie part of the holders of tlie Bullock
bogus bonds of Georgia; and vve present
it for the pnrpos •cl defining the posi
tion of the Banner in regard to the vt xc-d
question. For a month past the press
of Georgia has teemed with lengthy ed
itorials, and letters from eminent citi
zens—lawyers, bankers and politicians
—each giving his peculiar views, in ex
tenm. Tire discussion lias become mo
notonous, but now since the Legislature
lias adjourned without taking action in
the promises, vve presume there will be
a suspension of the discussion until tlie
next session of the f/ gislaturo.
Our views on the question cun be em
braced in a nut shell : If tho State of
Georgia is I onestly and legally indebted,
in any sum, to tho holders of tlie spuri
ous bonds, it is her boumk-n duty to pay
every cent of the same. (f she is not in
debted —it tlie entire $8,425,000 in bonds,
held by Northern ami foreign capital
ists, and proposed to bo sealed by their
| agent, Col Snead—are illegal ami
I fraudulently issued, then not one cc i
should be paid.
N vv, as to the Illegality cfsaid bonds.
Tlie first ses-ion of tho Legislature ot
1872 appointed a committee to investi
gate the financial condition of the State;
said committee was dilligent in its la
bors for months—it was impartial and
just—and made a detailed report to an
adjourned session of tho Legislature,
wherein tho bonds represented by Col.
Snead, were declared fraudulent nnd
illegnfty issued. After a full and tree
discussion, tho Legislature solemnly
proclaimed tho said bonds as worthless
—and not to be redeemed by the State
of Georgia.
The agent of tlie bondholders afore
said no«v steps forward witli tlie propo
sition of a compromise, to wit : that if
the Slate ol Georgia, will pay $1,000,-
; 000 to him. as the agent of the toudhold
| ers, ho will return to tho State every
bond that Inis been declared null and
I void.
j Tlie Legislature, which adjourned on
tin: 18th iast., took no action in regard
to the coin promise proposed—and ii
[done right. A previous Legislature
t od declared the bonds illegal and fraud
ulent, and therefore if it bad consented
: to tlie compromise, it would have placed
■ itselt in the position of a compounds of
fraud. As we stated previously, how
ever, if it Can be demonstrated that any
of the bonds declared illeg il, were issued
in good faith and for a valuable consid
eration, they should bo paid their full
face value—but never enter into a dis
reputable compromise fur the purpose of
obtaining a financial standing in the
stock markets of the world.

A Concreaslonal Farce.
The report of Judge Poland’s investi

Important Decision in rrgaut to
County Taxation.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has ,
very reccut'y made a very important
decision, os to the authority of county
officials to assess and collect taxes. In
some of the counties of Georgia illegal
taxation has been assessed ar.d collected
for scvi ral years passed. This .decision
of the Supreme C-iurt will put a check
on future exactions. The Court declares
that the County authorities may, with
out the recommendation of the Grand
Jury, levy a tux oififty per Cent, upon
tho State tax for ordinary county pur
poses; and upon the lecommeadation of
t (, Grand Jury, they may levy an ad
ditional fifty per ci nt, for extraordinary
expenses, such as tho erection and re
pairs of public bulldb'gs, but the
object of the additional lax must lie dis
tinctly slated. Beyond this 100 per
cent, the County authorities connol go;
and li e County sola aside a judgment
against the snrities on a defaulting tax
collectors bond, on the ground that the
Ordinary having levied a tax of 150 per
cent, on tho State hex, thn tax vvus ille
gal and void, and the suritieS were not
I liable for if.

Tlie Legislature and the Governor.
The able correspondent of the Savan
nah Advertiser, in his last letter to said
journal, from Atlanta, thus speaks of the
adjourned Legislature. [lu says :
THE LEGISLATI'RS
adjourned in fair order c«usidei ing the
bad temper it was in. It remati »to be
seen if it dal much mischief. It cer
tainly did tittle good. As vve have be
fore ot served, tho members individually .
; are in the main good and ii folligmit men.
| But lln-y are taw and inr-sporh a;- and and j
■do not vvotk well together. Tory were i
so frightened at the financial condition!
ot ti e State that they would not touch
! money save in tlie shape r.f pky-i-oßs
! For Hie last two days the TrcasUiv of-;
fico resembled an util's nt-st. Ttu-v!
took good care of themselves. They i
kept a punitory tax upon tlie pi ess , cut
down the pay of tho poor clerks, killed j
railroad projects, and established a mill
tary institute without a dollar, lo view I
of probable future contingencies con-;
noclod with their own comfort, they took
steps to provide for an inebriate asylum.
VVtien they come back again, after rub
bing against their constituents, they will,
tie in better temper aud do much better, t
it iK to be hoped.
The body is too large and its rules for!
doing business too cumbersome. Ac on
[ vent ion should le held, if for nothing!
! else, to correct this evil aud lo curtail
! its great expense.
the govern, r and the senate
l parted on bad terms, notwithstanding:
most of tho Executive appointments;
I were confirmed. Nothing like it has
been witnessed in the history of Georgia
In tore. There was never before seen
such an array of disappointed men and i
I men who took their disappointment so i
much to heart. The Advertiser claims
credit for political sagacity or prophesy.
With no peculiar facilities sot inf titra
tion, it named every appointment, save;
one, iii advance, and in that one we
were dtceived by our own too confiding!
nature.
The Danger of Radical Ideas — A gov
ernment without restraint is simply a]
despotism. To this tlie present Govern
ment of the United States is swiftly,
tending. Qe of the prominent evi
dences ot this fact may be found in tlie
reckless appropriations; the corruptions
in Congress, growing out of them; the
general demoralization and corruption
so apparent. .HI Hits comes from a de- (
partore from the Constitution. Loose
legislation, unauthorized acts by Con
gress; money wrongfully takeu from the i
Treasury for objects not authorized cr j
justified by tlie Constitution, beget cor-|
rupt practices and demoralize pnblic effi
ceis. Tins loose and corrupt legislation
also comes from the idea of "a strong |
central government” outside of the Con
stitution leading to tyiannica! acts over j
Stales and tlie people.
