tjtJTJiAfl mmi\ QUIIMAW: 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. I ltorfe Island KtrKlttx. A man by the name of Essex, residing at N.wport R. 1., Las been guilty of incest, and he has been hunted from town to town, and many iflorts made to lynch him.

Tlie Bond Question—'The Coinpro ■■rise Proposed t>v Snead.

If the'State accepts this proposition, it will have to issue about $1,000,000 ; seven per cent, currency bonds to the | holders of the outstanding gold and J | currency bonds, who undertake to there upon return to the Treasury for collec tion— 81,880,1500 vohl bond* and interest, equivolent to,, $2,hi0.000 .

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. Thomas O’N- at, who was sentenced to be hung ior murder, but who finally succeeded in getting the sentence com inul-'d to Imprisonment for life, was shot a> and killed on Friday last while attempt ing to escape from his guard. A Concreaslonal Farce. The report of Judge Poland’s investi gating committee on the Credit Mublier scandal, is »s complete a t ireo as was ever prepared lor the pnblic par. Al though the evidence elicited by the in vestigation implicated a nr. hi fur of Sen ators and Representatives, tlie Commit tee have white-washed tieentiro crew | witli tlie exception of Oakes Ames and James Brooks. These two Reprcs-r.ta- j tives are to be cupelled. No aiinsitiu is made to the infamous OolfuX and Wilson. They -urn shining lights ia tho Radical j wigwam, ar.d must not Lo cxlinguisncd. 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. Civil (Rights mill Social Equality in Alabama. Tho Montgomery Advertiser, of Friday, prints the Social Equality BUI, intro duced by llio nogtor-s of that delectable i body, the Alabama Legislature, as it states, without any consultation with' their white part zans, whose noses Sam- ; bo means to bring to "do grindstone on j dis question.” The bill provides a fine ] of SSOO and five years’ imprisonment to j whatsoever common carrier by land ot water —innkeeper—showmau—school of-; floor or trustee—cemetery trusten —b- : ncvolcnt association chattered by the} Slate, etc., etc-, who shall presume to j set up any distinction on account o! col or, and requires tho judges to give the; act in special charge lo the Grand Ju ries ot tlie State. Ttis Advertiser de fines Lis (position in tcspect to the bill j uud the negro iri a column and a half. It does not say what tho infamous white crow who} train with tho negroes are going to do with tlie hill. 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. NEWS ITEMS.
