=• —— - ■ : — 1 i The result was that a majority of the
I'HE STATE TREASURER. I c . ...
] Senate was opposed to talcing it up, until
The late investigation of the State 1 !l11 appropriation bills were disposed of,
treasurer’s office by a legislative com
mittee was u curious episode in Georgia
history. The two reports read more like
farces than State papers. The mind is
puzzled to understand the real nature
of tho disposition made of the affair.
The committee may understand it and
the Legislature may understand it, but
we defy any ona else to give atruo ex
planation as to how the matter was left. 11
seems to us that the whole affair con
stituted a series of blundering ns awk
ward as that of a poor old blind horse
hobbling over a pile of fence rails. And
we really question if there is a baker’s
dozen of the Legislature capable of giv
ing an explicit explanation of the mat
ter.
The committee has branded Colonel
Jones as a defaulter to the tune of868,-
183, at the same time making the ad
mission that he had offered credits
which would wipe out the amount, but
which they ‘ did not have tiino to look
into,” and in the face of this admission
they proceed to censure tho treasurer.
They algo admitted that the defects of
tho laws govjMjing Ip® office had en
tailed irregiilfflaies which Has existed
for years. In other words, the report
was made that Col. Jones is a defaulter
though he has vouchers to his credit
sufficient to wipe out the dehiloalion.
and at last the whole trouble has grown
out of defective laws and precedents
left by predecessors. If these facts be
true, wo do riot seo bow Col. Jones can
be censured for that which he could not
help.
The irst report recommended that
the treasurer should ‘‘be requested tore-
sign,” as though ho: would surrender in
disgrace when beheld vouchers to cover
all that was claimed to be lost; and the
treasurer was blamed for tho system and
precedents that have heretofore con
trolled the conduct of the office by his
predecessors, “unqualifiedly condemn
ing” him and leaving him in absolute
control of the treasuiy. They con
demned Col. Jones and then retained
him in the office'.
We believe, if we know how it is at
all, the Governor is authorized to em
ploy an accountant to straighten up tin
books. As Col. Jones fills an electiv
office, ho is not subject to the directions
of the Governor any more than Angier
was to those of Httllock. Thus holding
his office, under a bond of 8200,000, we
question if Col. Jones will allow any
other man to take charge of his books
or his offico.
11 l.V \V.J». IlAliRISHN.*
This reverend gentleman is quoted
in the Atlanta Constitution as having
said, in a lecture on the “situation,”
that—
He assumes that, when the colored
man pays for the privileges guaranteed
to him by the civil rights bill, ho has a
right to enjoy the same, and should re
ceive the courtesy and respectful consid
eration of the whites, so long as hois
civil and law abiding.
We have no personal acquaintance
with the Rev. Mr. Harrison, hut it has
always seemed to us that ho is a sort of
eccentric genius, one of his eccentrici
ties that of being constantly before the
public in the discussion of some kind
of vagary. If the Rev. Mr. Harrison
U correctly reported, wo understand
him to mean the encouragement of the
negro to assert his rights under the
civil rights hill and to condemn the
while people if they do not courteously
concede them. Mr. Harrison is again
reported, in the discussion of his sub
ject, with saying, unconditionally, that
tire status of the negro is permanently
fixed, and that he is a part of tho body
politic, and as such, should, in the en
joyment of the privileges guaranteed
to him by law, receive the same courte
sy extended to the whites.
Wc further understand by this that
the Rev. Mr. Harrison regards it as the
duty of Ilia whites to accord cheerfully
to the negro his right to exorcise the
privileges secured to the civil rights
bill — thereby effectually bloting out
the distinction of race or color,
spirit, practice, and truth, under the
operations of the civil rights bill, and
uot only invites, but encourages the
closest mixed association.
If these are the views of tho Rev.
Mr. Harrison, we must he permitted to
say that his eccentricities belong to a
different latitude, and that ho has been
permitted into association with a class
of people not of his kind—who would
scorn to endorse the social vagaries of
a man bo many of them have revered
for his p&sitiofi no long. Rev. Mr. Har
rison may yraeeJaUy accord these rights,
because he thinks' might makes right,
but ure tell him that his notions about
the matter is not very popular in Gcor-
aud indeed so solicitous were tbo Sena
tors to go on with the latter bills, that
they requested Mr. Morrill to report the
sundry civil bill, and therefore waived
the usual reading of the journal.
The Senate was engaged all day
Wednesday on the sundry civil appro
priation bill, and a large number of
amendments were agreed to, and the bill
was passed. It was then doubtful wheth
er the force bill would ever be called up.
Foster Blodgett has made a contract
with the Greenville (S. C.) News for.the
publication of his political reminis
cences, and the first parts will appear
in his paper about tho loth inst, The
book will be “red-hot,” the fugitive
“Senator” venting his wrath in un
measured language upon his enemies.
It also contains letters from prominent
men, receipts for money, and other
matter equally damaging to those con
cerned.
When the force bill came up in the
House for a final vote Mr. Stephens, be
ing ill, was paired with Butler, who,
though present, did uot vote. Freeman
did not vote, but it is not known wheth
er he was paired with anybody or not, or
whether he dodged or uot. Messrs. Sloan
and Whiteley voted iu favor of llic bill,
and Messrs. Bell, Blount, Cook, Harris
and Young were present and did their
best to defeat it. ♦
The Radieals huve been anxious to ad
mit Colorado and New Mexico as States
into the Union ; but on Wednesday, a
motion to suspend the rules and pass
bills for the admission of Colorada and
New Mexico, us stated, was defeated by a
two-thirds vote—yeas 164; nays 84.
In the affirmative it was almost a paity
vote,
Senator Gordon and Mr. Lamar, of
Mississippi, were to have' left Washing
ton on Thursday last for New Hamp
shire on a stumping tour.
Mr. Stephen- will probably pass Atlan
ta in return'ug home from Washington.
Grant and his Cabinet Lobby ing
Washington, March 2.—Full cabinet
met this afternoon and adjourned at
- i - o’olm k, when they went to the
■i;iiti-i in a body and miulo personal
appeals in la imlf of the tariff.
Tho Star says: “The President, with
several members of theCubinet, includ
ing Secretary Briftow and Robeson and
Attorney General Williams, was at
the capitol to-day, and while there had
•i conference with the leading Repub
lican Senators relative to the tax bill,
'aid on tho tulbo yesterday.
“The President and members of the
Cabinet present urged the imperative
necessity of taking the bill from table
and passing it, and, if is understood, re
ceived the assurance that an effort in
that direction would be made.”
Negro Jurymen in the South.
After Senator Carpenter had clearly
shown that the civil rights bill is in
■conflict with the constitution of the
United States as expounded by the Su
preme court, a colloquy took place be
tween him and Senator Morton in re
ference to the jury clause of the bill.
This colloquy led to the following re
marks on jurymen in Georgia and Con
necticut:
Mr. Gordon, (democrat,) of Georgia,
said no senator could point to any law
of any southern state which prohibited
colored men from sitting on jur
ies.
Mr. Patterson, (republican,) of South
Carolina, inquired if any colored
man could sit on a jury in Geor
gia.
Mr. Gordon replied that any man
could sit on a jury in that state who
was upright and intelligent.
Mr. Patterson said it was a fact that
no colored man ever occupied a seat in
a jury box in Georgia.
Mr. Gordon—Probably the senator
is better informed than I am about
Georgia, I say colored men haves.rved
on tho jury there.
Mr. Patterson inquired when and
where they had served.
Mr. Gordon—Judgo Schley, one of
our judges, has had colored jurors.
Mr. Patterson—Is he a democrat. ?
Mr. Gordon— He is a democrat.
Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut inquired if
colored men were allowed on juries in
Indiana.
Mr. Morton—I understand they are.
Mr. Eaton—When and where ?
Mr. Morton- -Well, I can’t snv. I have
not practiced law in Indiana for some
years. [Laughter.]
Mr. Eaton then explained how jurors
were selected in his own state, and said
the passage of such a bill as this would
be utterly useless. It would not com-
pol the persons whose duty it was to
select jurors to select colored people.
Men were selected there according to
their Alness.
Mr. Morton said it would not moke
men of the same political faith as tho
senator (Mr* Eaton) select them, but
men of a different political faith would
do it.
Mr. Eaton said he did not say men
of his political faith would not do it,
but that the passage of this law would
not compel them to do it.
The Louisiana Question.
This question has been finally settled
by the passage of the House Resolution
condemning the Returning Board and
authorizing steps to seat the lawfully
entitled members of the legislature.
And secondly, recognizing Kellogg as
Governor until tho end of his term.
It took a two-thirds vote to get the
resolution before the House. This was
done by a strict party vote, except Mr.
Stephens, who voted with the Republi
cans. Much surprise was expressed
among the Democrats at Stephens’ vote.
He justified his vote because, he said,
ho believed the questions affecting Lou
isiana ought to be settled by a majority
of tho HouBe, who were responsible to
the country for the legislation. The
resolutions gave to the Louisiana Dem
ocrats the House. Mr. Stephens says
he condemns the iniquity of tho Re
turning Board, from which all the late
military interference has sprung. A
great point, has been gained so far. So
far as Kellogg was concerned, nothing
could be hoped for, os it was predeter
mined to recognize him. Mr. Stephens
is against Kellogg’s recognition.—Special
to the. Atlanta Herald 2nd inst.
Nfvv Orlfans, March 2.—Eight Con
servative Senators took their seats at
tile State house to-day.
A man in Bangor is spending his
money in the building of a fishing rod

Ai,EX ANURIA, Va., March 2.—In con
sequence of the passage of the civil
rights •bill, and fearing trouble, both of
the principal hotels here have cancelled
their licences and closed.

Louisville, March 3.—The follow
ing was telegraphed to Judgo Poland
in Washington to-day: “Tho under
signed wholesale merchants of Louis
ville. who have closed business rela
tions with tho citizens of Arkansas, de
sire to thank you for your successful
efforts in behalf of quiet and good gov
ernment in that State.,’ Signed by
fifty-seven firms, representing all class
es of business. A largo amount of
merchandise has been waiting here,
ordered by Arkansas merchants on
condition that congress would inter
fere with tho present state government.
Had the action of congress on Thurs
day been different, none of these orders
would have been filled.
Arkansas Carpet-Baggers.— The
following summary of the exploits of
tho carpet-baggers of Arkansas istakon
from the New York Herald:
In 18G8 the whole bonded debt of
the State was 83,230,000. It had no
lloating debt, and had over 8300,000 in
the treasury. From July 1868 to Octo
ber 1874. the treasury received over
86,500,000, a floating debt was incurred
of nearly 82,000,000, and the bonded
debt wiis increased $8,750,000—that is
to say, in six years the men who ruin
ed Arkansas spent 817,000,000 and this
in a State which lias less than half a
million people.
Little Rock, March 3.—There was
very general rejoicing here and else
where throughout tho State last night
and to-day over the action of congress
on Poland’s resolutions.
Salutes were fired at Pine Bluff and
other points. Joint resolutions passed
both branches of the legislature to-day,
thanking those members of congress
who voted for the Poland report, pledg
ing the government to see that equal
and exact j ustice is done to all men
A colored gentleman of Montgomery,
Ala.,has, we notice, unexpectedly left a
vacancy in the jury-box to accept a posi
tion on the city chain-gang, kindly ten
dered him in consequence of misun
derstanding about tho ownership oS
some hogs.—New York Commercial-Ad-
ratiscr.
Tim Emperor Alexander has given
Patti a set of fur* worth 810,000.
Our Great Canal,
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette, says :
“The Georgia delegation is muoh
elated over the survey, just completed,
of what is known as the Sand Moun
tain route for the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal, by which the waters of
the Tennessee river aro to be connect
ed with the Atlantic ocean, on tho coast
of Georgia. The proposed route re
quires but seventy-five miles of canal,
and renders available nine hundred
and twenty-five miles of river. It is
estimated that the con viols of tho state
would build the Georgia portion of th6
canal in two years. It is proposed to
amend the river and harbor bill in the
Senate so as to give the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal 8600,000 to inau
gurate the work.”
Prophetic.— In 1834, when there
were threats of assassinating General
Jackson, then President, George
McDuffie, in course of conversation,
said:
“I will make one concluding remark
on the subject—God forbid that itshould
be prophetic—and it is that if, in the
midst of a violent political excitement,
it ever should occur that a President of
the United States should be assassina
ted, he will be the last Constitutional
President, and his blood will cement
the despotic throne of his successor.”
Linooln was assassinated. Grant
was elected by negro votes—his throne
cemented by blood. The force bill is on
the carpet. McDuffie was a prophet.
■Constitutionalist.

the fact that William Mumford, whom
Ben Butler brutally murdered in New
Orleans, was a native of Onslow county.
North Carolina, where ho has many
friends and relatives still living. His

Portland, Me., March 2.—The Dem

The State debt of Louisiana is 848,-
000,000, piled up by negroes and car
pet baggers. Luckily, the State Courts
have enjoined 827,000,000 of this
amount as fraudulent and unconstitu
tional.

THE ROME COURIER!
PUBMSHED
WEEKLY .INI Ti’iI-WBERLY.
The Oldest Paper in Cherokee
Georgia.
Tlte Largest Ulrcnlatlou.
TriE Courier is the oldest paper pub
lished in Cherokee Georgia—it having
been published 31 years, twenty ot
them by the present Proprietor. During
this long period, the influence of The
Courier has been directed [to the end
of promoting the great interests of this
section of tbo State—sparing neithor
pains or expense in doing all it could
to advance the same. The result is
that its career has been prosperous and
its influence very decided in the discus
sion of all questions involving the in
terests of tho people and of the country
As in the past, so shall the influence
and labors of The Courier be in the
future—never swerving from the advo
cacy and maintenance of all measures
looking to the development of Cherokee
Georgia and the interests of the people
thereof.
Its Politics.
In politics, The Courier shall, as al
ways, be firm, but conservative and
respectful to those who may differ with
its views; but, in defense of the hon
or of the people and of their rights it
will be neither laggard in "hr indiffer
ent to the maintenance of thesej In a
word, The Courier, political! , is an
advocate and defender of tho*"masses,
the hard-working people, whether mer
chants, professional men, tillers of tha
soil, mechanics or laborers. To these
we look for support in the maintenance
of the right
Its Circulation.
Perhaps, there is no paper in Chero
kee Georgia that has a finer circulation
among the people who trade at Romo
