\t gUm* i&ttMUt. ESTABLISHED IN 1843. M. DWINELL, Proprtoler. B. F. SAWYER, Editor. Tuesday Morning,- April 25,1876 We learn that the old Greeley man sion at Chappaqua wns burned re cently. Kate field says the Duchess of Edin burg haB gone home to her papa, and won’t come back, either. “V. R. B. E. T. I.” are the new eni- tials of the Queen— 11 Victoria Regina Britannia? et Tndorum Imperatrix. - ’ Governor Coke, of Texas, in his an nual message to the Legislature, favors a pursuit of the Mexican cattle thieves into their own jungles across the Rio Grande, and says there is no hope of any better condition of affairs as long as the Rio Grande remains the limit to which the thieves can be pursued. THE REPUBLICAN MEEI'INU. We publish by request the proceed ings of the Republican meeting held in this city last Saturday. The cutting irony with whioh it endorses Grant’s honest administration and turns bis own edict—“ Let no guilty man escape”— against him and his Cabinet, is refresh ing in this day of Republican toady ism. The resolutions in regard to a Consti tutional Convention are good and 2 long ways in advance of the Democra cy. Our Democratic friends must wake up, or else the Republicans will steal a very effective piece of tbeir thunder. The people want a Convention and a new Constitution, and if the Demo cratic leaders will not give it to them, they will look elsewhere for it. The Legislature has twice betrayed the peo ple on this question, and it cannot af ford to do it again. >< SLEEPY HOLLOW.” This old gentleman-wakes up occasion ally, and like a peevish baby or disap pointed old maid, temper-soured by hope ; deferred, he always wakes up wrong end foremost, with a spiteful kick and a puerile whine. His last whine is in the Chroni- icle and Sentinel of Sunday, wherein he patriotically bewails in the most approved manner of Pecksn ; ff, the selfish wiles of Democratic office seekers and discants upon the unselfish patriotism of the In dependent hankerer after the loaves and fishes. It it a characteristic whine and needed not the psuedonyme of “ Sleepy Hollow’ to locate its author. It is too thin, too, to deceive any one as to its object, and "Sleepy Hollow,” had he been thoroughly honest, would have said in much fewer words that he was the only man in the Seventh District fitted either for Govern or or for Congress, and the object of his feeble effort was to pave an Independent way to one or the other of those offices; he is not particular which. Well, we expect a host of patriotic Iu* pendents to deluge the next canvass, and we had as soon tackle the chip on the old gentleman’s shoulders as any other we know of, for we know of none whose record, as a politician or a patriot is more vulnerable. THE GRANGERS AND THE BUREAU. It is no pleasure to have to controvert the opinions of others or to expose the abuses of a favorite public Bystem. We are not expected to make friends by doing so and are always liable to incur the dis pleasure of some; for we care not how outrageous a system may be, it always has its friends and advocates. Our strictures on the abuses of the Ag ricultural Bureau were not mado simply for •- the fun of the thing,” but in an earnest cflbrt to correct, or at least expose, the imposition under which our farming friends were unjustly laboring, ha we anticipated, ourefforts were not kindly re ceived by all. There are some who are disposed to criticise us rather severely for our temerity iu attacking such a powerful and popularinstitulion. We are sorry to of fend, even the least. But while there are many to condemn us, we find a few to ap prove, and that few are found in the ranks of the intelligent farmers of the country. We are in daily receipt of en couraging letters from these, and they go a long ways toward lightening the weight of the contra-displeasure. Of these we give the following from Cedartown,notso much because of its words of approval as to set the Grangers right in a matter wherein our correspondent thinks we have done them a wrong. After enclosing a subscription to The Courier he says : 11 The people of this section are with you in your warfare against our "jackass” Legislature and “ de Buro’,” the Express to the ceuntrary notwithstanding. Al lowances, however, must be made for the Express. We who live in the county, know the why’s and wherefore’s. You are mistaken, however, in think ing that the Agricultural Bureau is the pet idea of the Grangers, at least in so- far as the rank and file are concerned. As an evidence of this, I would state, that at*'a meeting of Grangers not long since, the question was propounded : what benefit has the Agricultural Bureau been to the farmers ? The answer came, none at all.” I am satisfied that the Grangers in this section would vote en masse for the abolition of the Bureau the Agricultural not excepted. The truth is we are all heartily disgusted with “ de Buro’s,” and have been ever since “ de Freedman's 4 Buro” had such a run. Yours truly, R. North and South Railroad Meet ing. The Griffin News, in speaking of the refusal of Governor Smith to be a can didate for Governor, says, “The clem ency of the Executive passeth our un derstanding. He has just pardoned a man for shooting at another. If it had been a woman needing pardon, what then?” To this the Atlanta Times re plies: 11 We kpow the"cases alluded to—the JSberhait.ca3e : and.the.case of Tatum. The former we do not now propose to discuss, but Executive clemency never was exercised more properly than in the case of R. P. Tatum, of this city, He is a one-logged Confederate soldier, shot to pieces, almost, in the late war, and in a sudden quarrel with a gentle man of this city, fired upon him. There was no instance of malice in the case. Tatum having been assaulted on sudden provocation while he was seated in his chair, at his own door, by a powerful athletic man, resented the personal in jury and afirent, and while the blood drawn from him was fresh on his face, fired upon his assailant, fortunately without effect. Thousands of the best citizens in Fulton county signed the petition for hiB pardon,and the prosecu tor hod the magnanimity to join in the petition. If Governor Smith has done wrong in other cases of like character, which we do not charge, this case can not be laid as a sin at his door. He was right in pardoning Tatum. This is the verdict of the community in which the parties live.” And a righteous verdict it is, and none but a man whose daddy has been disappointed in some little judicial longing would have the cruelty to object to it Lagrange, Ga., April 19,1870. A number of stockholders met in the court-houBe in LaGrange at 3 o’clock P. M. Col. Jas. M. Mobley was elected chairman, and Wm. Redd, jr., of Col umbus, secretary. On motion of Mayor Yancy, of La- Grange, the nameB of stockholders were called, and it was ascertained that 2456 shares, a majority of the stock, were represented. Remarks were made by Messrs. Nuckoll’s of Columbus Mobley of Har ris, Yancey of LaGrange, Mayor Cleg- horn of Columbus, Fannin of- Troup, and Shackelford of Heard. On motion of Mr. Nuckolls, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That an Executive Com mittee of six, consisting of W. H. Ban- non, T. J. Nuckolls, and S. B. Cleg- horn, of Columbus, Jas. M. Mobley, W. I. Hudson, of Harris, B. C. Ferrell, \V. C. Jarboe, of LaGrange, M. Shackel ford, of Franklin, and I). S. Printup, of Rome, be appointed by this meeting to call upon upon the former stock holders of the North and South Rail road to subscribe ten per cent, of their hitherto paid up stock for purpose of extending said road. Resolved, That the Executive Com mittee be directed to call together those who subscribe the additional ten per cent, in Columbus within thirty days for forming a company to make* a bid for the road. Resolved, That should any member of the Executive Committee resign, his place shall be supplied by said Commit tee. On motion the meeting adjourned. J. M. Mobley, Chairman. Wm. Redd, Jr., Secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Young. Cleveland Pialndealer] The registering on the hotel bcok at the Arlington of plain Mr. and Mrs. Young would never excite very much comment, but when other guests found out that Mr. Young was a sonof the prophet, and that Mrs.Young was wife No. 3, why ! that put a new face upon the matter, and people felt much more interest in the lady than in the gentleman. About thirty, slender, graceful and lady-like, faultlessly dressed and wearing a charming set of features, it was^difficult to imagine her sharing her husband with anybody else. She is a Philadelphian, respectably connected and well educated. Journeying across the Plains seven years ago she met her “John,” third son of Brigham. it was an unmistakable case of affinity, botli were desperately in love, but John had already two Mormon help-meets. In lier creed they were no wives at all, and she wanted John; so, reaching Utah, the conditions were made. It John would put away the incompatibles, she would be Mrs. Yong. John made provision for the females aforesaid; Miss • espoused the Mormon faith and John at the same time, but coming East again, she was re-married in or thodox fashion in a Gentilo church. John is perfectly devoted to her, and she is extremely happy. Touching the Columbus clerical scan dal the Sunday Enquirer says: Mr. K. claims he can entirely free himself from the charge, and all ho asks is a suspension of judgment until the case can be fully and fairly investigated. The theory of {he defenso is to prove an alibi by unimpeachable witnesses; the great intimacy of other parties with the one with whom it is alleged ho was guilty, and that the prosecution is the re suit of a conspiracy. On the other side are direct evidence, the confession of the girl and many cor roborating circumstances are agaiust him. The counsel for the defonse are Judge James Johnson, Thornton & Grimes and Williams & Thornton; for the prosecution McNeill & Crawford. It would be a matter of rejoicing if Mr. K. could provo his innocence, for it would also exonorate the alleged victim Mrs. K. visited her husband at the jail last afternoon. The Hartford rost wants everything cleared up. “Mr. Blain is seeking election to the office of President and he ought to be able to show a clean pair of hands. We will only add that our confidence in his integrity is bo great that we believe he will be able to put his accusers to shame, and we earnestly hope that he may do so; but this matter of the Arkansas railroad bonds has been floating in the air for a good while, and it is high time the cloud was dispelled once for all.” A Fine and Wem.

Rome, Ga., April 18, 1876.—tw-w2m rj\L General Marcy, in responding to in quires of the Military Affairs Commit tee made the following statement os to appropriations for the Indians in 1848 when the War Department managed Indian affairs, and in 1875 under the existing management: F.r contingent expenses and for fill ing treaty stipulations $8,851,631 06 Pot of officers end clerki In oomtnia- er’g office 75,530 00 Pay of sapsrlntenlenta, inspector!, .gent* and their clerks 136,100 00 Total appropriations in 1876-76 (7,663,301 06 The appropriations for the same pur poses in 1848 were: For contingent expenses, etc $343,100 Officers,' t etc„in commissioner’soOlce 18.700 00 Superintendents, agents, etc. ..... .. 13,673 00 Total appropriations In 1348 $874,478 00 Difference $5,188,733 06 There appears to be some economy in theWar DepartmeDtmangement accord ing to General Marcy’s statement, and when it is considered that, according to the testimony of Hon. William Welsh, who has given the keenest at tention to Indian affairs, the Indians received only 25 per cent of 87,063.210 96, it is apparent that the ring pocket ed at least 85,000,000 of the public money. In 1848 there wete 418,000 Indians under the War Department, and in 1874 the records snow only 379,000 whioh suggests, very forcibly, that the so-called “humane” Interior Department management has been a fatal management for the Indians. The transfer of the Indian bureau, in view of these facts, is certainly a measure of the strictest economy, and .undoubted ly in the interest of humanity. New Advertisements. County Maps.
