Ql ITMAN BANNER.
QUITMAN:
FRIDAY. MARCH 14, 1873
“Slop Hint M ine!”
It i« under thin head that tin) Atlanta
Herald, of March 1 at, matte* the follow
ing very remarkable declaration :
"Wo slate moat emphatically, that
Oov. Smith never haa, in any sing'e in
italic, made a promiae to appoint any
man to office. In this matter he haa
been «o reticent and self-reliant that
not even hie privati secretary has ever
had the slightest intimation who tlie ap
pointees were, until lie was instructed
to fill ont their com missions. We know
this statement will strike many with
surprise who have heard it whispered
and asserted that there has not been an
i (lice within the Governor's gift which
be had not promised to at least twenty
different men. ”
The journal aforesaid, which makes
the foregoing unequivocal and. duration,
is conducted on the high-pressure sen
sation order, and tlni editors thereof
manifest a disposition to carry their
points by a display ol bravado. In this
instance they have gone a little too far :
for the article in question not only ii flu
encee the belief, that the Herald is a
paid advocate of the Executive, hut de
mands investigation if the charges pre
ferred against Oov. Smith. Asa parti
gan, we should have preferred that the
btunderinijg (to put a mild construction
upon his conduct) ol the Executive,
should be passed over in silence; but, as
one ol a number who preferred charges
against him, self respect dictates that
the lie be hurled back ul the Herald, cud
that facts be presented to establish the
charges preferred against the Executive.
The Herald says "that .not even
his private secretary has ever had the
slightest intimation who the appointees
were, until lie was instructed to fill out
their commissions.” No doubt this
statement is correct. He was profuse
in promises, mid really did not know
who the appointees would be until the
recommendations hail been sent into the
Senate. Wo opine that a certain Judge
in upper Georgia was correct, in his re
sponse to the query, ns to how lie hap
pened to receivo the appointment, when
he responded : ‘ 1 presumo I received
the lant promise!”
As to the direct charge, however.
The Herald says that "Gov. Smith never
has, in any singlo instance, made a
promise to appoint any man to office”—
and therefore, declares that journal,
those who assert to the contrary, must
"Shp that tying!" Now listeu to the
facta :
Ist. Alter the second nomination of
Gov, Smith by the Democracy, but pre
vious to bis election, did he not given
certain Representative from Southern
Georgia, to understand, that if his coun
ty rolled up her usual Democratic ma
jority, as the Representative of the said
county, lie would have the right to des
ignate who should bo the Judge of the
Southern Circuit? The county alluded
to gavo James M. Smith an unusual
heavy majority, and he failed to redeem
bis promise.
2d. Col. W. B. Helmet was an appli
cant foi the position of Judge of the
Southern Circuit. Did he not by impli
cation give a representative from said
circuit to understand, that Col. Bonnet
should receive the appointment? and to
a certain Senator did he not give the un
qualifii'd assurance, that if the General
Assembly did not inteileie witti the stat
us of this Circuit, Col. Bonnet should be
uppoinfed?
3J. The fiiemis of Hon. A. 11. Han-
Bcll were very uneasy iu regard to his
appointment to the Judgeship of this Oir
cuit, which lad also been promised to
esid gentleman, through his friends.
Did not a distinguished gentleman of
this Stute wait upon the Governor, and
receive sucli assurance as to authorize
him to telegraph to Judge Hansell, that
lie would certainly receive the nppaiut
ment?
4th. Did uot Gov. Smith most em
phatically promise a gentleman of North
west Georgia, that he would lecommcnd
G. M. Notheiland for the position of so
licitor General of the Western Circuit?
Oov Smith will uot, dare not, deny
making said promise to the gentleman
alluded to. And strange to say, he fail
ed to redeem Ids pledge.
Now, the foiegoing ate not mere as
sertions. They are facts—facts that
high toin and, h< notable gentlemen are
ready to qualify to; and when the edit
ors of the Atlanta Herald brand such
gentlemen as liais, they simply degrade
the diguity ol manhood, and force us to
exclaim with Pope—
" When to mischief mortals bow'theirwill,
llow soon they find fit iastno nents of ill!”
We would here remark, that if any of
the toregoiug inquiries are denied, we
are ready and wi'ling to substantiate |
the same.
In this connection we deem it neces
sary to say, that iu the appointment ot
Hon. A. II Hansell to ttie Judgeship of
this circuit, we enter no words of pro
test. Judge llauseli is an honorable,
Christian gentleman, a lawyer of eminent
ability, and preside* on the bench with
dignity and impartiality. He was an
applicant for the position conferred up
on him by Gov. Smith, but resorted b
none blit honorable means to secure it.
We, tin refore, have not a solitary ob
ject ion to bin, personally, or us the
piesiding Judge of the Circuit, and ex
e< edingly ri gret t! at the policy of tin
Atlanta Herald, fotced on us the neces
sity of refprei.ee to the mutter.
Our Era.
It is Fe'dom we find so much truth ex
pressed in bo few lines as the following
from the New Orleans Timex. There is
more food for thought iu this brief edi
torial than is contained in some long
sermons. The writer saya: “The world
is enlarging and society is loosening in
every diicclion. In old times every
thing was done with deliberation. There
was less speed, less impulse, money,
haste, than now. Life is not shorter,
hut there is more to do in it. Enjoy
ments cornc in larger supplies and are
compressed by mental process. We im
bibe instruction and delight from elec
tric wires. Wo arc startled daily by
outpr ini s—in science, discovery, amuse
ment, crime. Every tiling is fast and
loose. Race-horses are worth a hundred
thousand and iliars—a tehscopn is about
to cost a million. A leg’slator may be
quoted at from five to ten thousand dol
lars—a kingdom is thrown away. IS c
have more living to do than in old times
The w hole world is crowded close annum
us and in part of us. \\ care in an hour
of Paris and Berlin, and half a day of
Singapore and Calcnlla. The whole of
civilization is moving in our mind con
tinually. We grow weary of helping
up with things. Indeed, l.fe so abounds
with extras that we neglect its regular
editions. We live outside of ourselves
more than in, and when we shall be dead
we are to be interviewed by spiritual
ists.”
Georgia's Example Commended.
An cffoi t is being made in the Virgin
ia Legislature to secure the enactment
of usury laws, which, if successful, must
have the effect to prevent the introduc
tion of foreign capital into that State.
Iu an editorial on the subject, arguing j
against rcstiicting the price of money, '
as prejudicial to the best interests of the
people, the Norfolk Virginian cites the
policy adopted by our own Legislature
in reference to the question of usury as
an example worthy of imitation. The
editor says: “Just now we may turn
with advantage to Georgia. That, gloat j
cornmr nwealth, which boasts itself the*
Empire State of tho South, has j.ist re
pealed its usury laws, and under circurn- j
stances which should give ns pause here j
in Virginia before we move in the oppo- j
site direction, Georgia aspires, and not
without reason, to become a great man
ufacturing State; to advance this object
she proclaims free trade in money,
Georgia is attempting to secure a water
line connecting Savannah with the North !
west, and has called the cotton States
to meet her in convention to secure Ibis
end; to advance this objost she proclaims
free trade in money and abandons the
preposterous theories ol a by-gone age-
Georgia is endeavoring to establish di
rect trade with Europe, and moves witli
energy and emphasis in this direction.
To aid it: seen ring this she has wisely
abolished her usury laws.”
B®. Iu response to the "Reign of Ter
ror" letter of " Wanderer” (?) in the Sa
vannah Republican of the 12th, wo have
merely to say, that the facts as publish
ed by us, were the basis on which the
warrant for the arrest of McGregor was
issued; said facts were communicated to
us by Mr. Crews, in response to an in
quiry for information; ami it was entire
ly beyond the pale of our duty, as a
journalist, to enter into, an argument
for or against the prisoner. Tho defence
ought to be satisfied, as "Wanderer’’
proved a zealous professional advocate.
Our positions were materially different :

lic's most obedient servant.
The increase ol salaries voted at the
eleventh hour in Congress is, says the
Philadelphia Age, open to the most seri
ous objections. Every man who voted
for it was votiug as much in his own
interest as Mr. Hooper, of Massachu
setts, when lie was made to recall the
vote he had given on the Pacific Rail
road, in which he is a stockholder. Tho
President's salary is raised in violation
of the spirit, if cot the letter of the Con
stitution, which Is only evaded by a
quibble Tin’s advance is given to the
President at the very opening of Ins
term, by uu obsequious Congress, which
does just what tho Constitution intended
to prevent, f. r reasons that are sound
and obvious. It this money dors not
burn and blister the fingers of those who
loucli it we shall be greatly mistaken.

"Order Reigns in Warsaw !*'— The
news from New Orleans, says tho Sa

bance that has followed a flagrant usur

been quenched in blood. The following
significant communication from Gen.
Badger illustrates the l’icsideiit's mrs
sage, which says he lias dofle in the
Siates of the South only what he claims
a right to do in any State:
"I have just arrived with my gun and

New Oki.eavh. March s.— Tlie seventh
precinct ntaliou wns qnietly taken png
segsion of 'ast night hy tlie MrEnery
militia. No resistance was made by the
Metropolitans on doty there, and no el
lorts I ave been made to-day to displace
the militia. It is understood that fnrtli
|er aj/pressivc moves will he made by
the militia to-night. For 20 squares to
I night only one police was fund on duty
They have been called from their beats
l and concent rated about the stations,
i Mechanics' Institute, etc.
I Later. —At about half past nine o'clock
j to-night a squad of perhaps fifty men
I attacked the third precinct, firing into
I the building. They were repulsed by
i the police, but wero quickly reinforced
by about three hundred aid fifty meD.
These were atlacked by General Badger
by about two hundred policemen and a
piece of artillery, and for about five min
' ntes a sharp rattle of musketry ensued .
1 Both parties maintained their position
during this time, hut at the second dis
charge of the cannon the militia retreat
led through Jackson square, and half an
hour later the militia relieved their com
raihs. who remain'd during the coifLct
within the building. One man, a Mr.
Uurlman, was killed and several were
wounded,
ANOTHER account.
Between nine and ten o’clock to night
the McEtiery militia attacked the third
precinct police stßtion They commenc
ed the atiaeli by firing into the I uilding.
The firing was returned by the police.
! Soon alter Gen. Badger, Chief of the Me
trepolitan police, m veil down Charles
etn et from Canal with about three hun
dred men and one piece of artillery.
Quite a large crowd had by this tilm
collected about Jackson square and on
the Ktru-lH leading thereto. \VI en near
the crowd Gen Badger ordered them to
disperse The militia refused to give
way, when the police fired a blank car
tridge, and soon after another shot was
fired. This time the gun was loaded
with grape. By this time one man win
killed and several wounded. Another
charge of grape was fired out i fSt Ann
street. Some ten or twelve are report
ed wounded, but only o: e man is re
ported killed. As lar as known only
one policeman was w< undid during the
entire fight. At one time the firing was
quite I risk, resembling somewhat a
picket skirmish. For the powder ex
pended and the lurs made, the damage
was remarkably light. The grape ol
the Metropolitans was more than the
militia bargained for and they are re
ported to have weakened readily. Many
of them are repored to have skedaddled
in great disorder.
The United Stales troops about eleven
o’clock reached the scene of conflict, and
the r< maiding militia retired, leaving
them in possession. The Kelloggitrs
are jubilant and (he McEnoryitos quite
the reverse. The United States troops
now occupy Jackson square and other
points in tho city, and will no doubt pro
vent further disorder.

We bad the pleasure of receiving a
call from Col. J. 11. Lippaid, agent of

Barbatd VVarkculin, ol llussia, and his
translator, Mr J. 15 Smith, ol Summer
field, Jill. Mr. Warkentin represents
40,000 of his countrymen, members of
the meniionite Church, and l.is object in
visiting our country is to select a lo
cality for their c denixati. n These peo
ple, like the Hunkers ol the United ‘states,
are opposed to war, but if they remain
in lli.ssia tin y will be compelled lo bear
arms and contribute towards the main*
tenance of the established church. Their
government has given them eight years
in which to remove, before this demand
goes into effect, two of which have al
ready expired. These people are resi
dents ol S .utli Russia; many of tin m are
very wealthy, ami are largely engaged
in raising cattle, sheep, etc. They wish
to locate where the climate and country
is adapted to this business, and where
a large tract if land can be secured in a
body. Texas is, without question, the
place for them, and we trust such steps
will he taken as will secure their immi

Mr. Steptieii-'iu Congress.
The Bostou Advertiser, an ultra Rad
ical paper, speaking of the election ol
lion Ahxandi rU Stephens to Congress
(rum one ot the districts ol Georgia, says,
and we believe it has much truth in its
assertion :
It will be remembered that he is a
hunker p( the hunkers, and utterly re
fus'd to favor the party submission to
the Cincinnati movemeut. Ti e nation
lias drifted away from the id. as which
Command his approval, and he wi'l find
himself as much out of place io the Uni
ted States to-day as if he were a relic ol
the li i.es of Thomas Jefferson.
To which the Baltimore Gazette adds;
Asa certain county in Peuusylvaura
cannot forget that Jackson is not a can
didate for tho Presidency, so Mr. Ste- j
phei.e canuot believe that Jefferson is
dead. In his announcement of his late
successful candidacy he avowed himself
a "Jeffersou'an Democrat,’’ true to the!
principles of the time of Jefferson, and
unprepared for, and opposed to any
change, or tlie admission ol the possi
bility that the world could have moved
a hair's breadth out of the Jeffersonian
orbit without damage. Enfeebled by ill
health, Mr. Stephens will not be able to
take much part in the debates upon a ■
floor where, as a debater, he was once
thought to be the superior of any that
entered the arena against l-im. He'
will nut, therefore, become io any meas
ure a leader.
There is something even sad in the
old man, tossed about for many years by
the storm of civil war— protesting, yet
unable to breast the heavy current of*
popular passion—now going back to the
old, yet changed scenes, with all the old
ideas, all the old prejudices; with dim
med powers, yet stem and true to duty,
and with the same noble heart and on
