tion* of corruptionists, like Ames and Brooks?
Expulsion wu* to severe. Hawley, Brigham,
Alley. Colfax and Bchofield arc equally as repre
hcnrdhle in thsir conduct us the MaHsaelmactls
scape-goat, Oakes Arnes, and in common with
him will receive their merited disgrace in the dic
tum of public opinion. Our statesmanship is
sadly in need of purification. The old patriotic
scorn of dishonesty and corruption that existed
in the hails of Congress. Ims passed away with
the introduction of new material, and the iu
inovntions of reconstructionism.
May we not hope for a brighter politiaaljhorf>-
scope than the present seems to forecast. V’ill not
the pristine purity of the ballot be partially re
stored by purer laws and a stricter observance of
constitutional chicks. Let ns hope so; and
work to the consumotion of this end, by deli ga
ting our representative immunities to only such
men as have the interests of the country at
heart, and who will resist all attempt to subvert
the genius or republican government, by a per
fect devotion to duty, and all the demands of
County Taxes.
Now that the Supreme Court has decided the
limit in the aHKCHMnent of county taxes by the
authorities, we should accommodate our fiscal
necessities to the limitation. A tax ol over one
bundled per cent, on the State* tax cannot be
imposed by the county authorities,. The limita
tion ia ut ouco judieioiis and timely, and will
strengthen otir finances by lessening the but den
of taxation. A reasonable estimate of couuty
aemands, both fi r current expenses and public
works, should not exceed the one hundred per
cent allow ed, and in mauy instances should not
reach this. When there is no outstanding debt
or bonded obligation*, ns is the case in Talbot
county, our county taxes should be considered
mainly in the iutercst of public improvements,
construction <J roads, bridges, Ac., outside ot
tin necessary fifty percent assessment fi<rofficial
i expenses.
Our intention iu noticing this subject was on
pecially to cull attention to the liiet that the last
Legislature, while it did tunny acceptable works,
refused to compel holders of railroad bonds and
stock to remit r account of wine in the counties
where held ns assets, liable as other effects to
the county tax. There is uo good reason why
such holders of bonds should he exempt from
county liabilities, while their leas fortunate neigh*
hors ore compelled to to pay the full assessment
of their property for county taxes. Tin* reason
the hill was defeated is obvious. Too many ol
Georgia’s legislators held railroad stocks,
securities, and bonds, to permit such a piece of
machinery to lm lubricated by th* ir incorrupti
ble votes.
All legislation that bears unequally upon the
people’s interests should cease. All diserimiim
tious as to the character of property should ceaae,
where legislation is directed to the building up
of one class int rests to the detriment < t an
other. This class ot legislation is subversive of
the State’s progress, in ax much us an undue
precedence is given to s .nu int* rests over others.
Urns subverting that equilibrium so essential to
the iuteibgmit demands of labor and commerc e.
The Louisiana Civil Commotion.
No pomlell to tlui atrocities of usurpation ex
ists in modern times such as that shown by the
status of Loiuaiuxui at the present time. Tin
recent protracted, session in the llnitad States
Senate is indicative of the dot p concern awaken
ed bv the imminence of civil war. and the una
nimity with which the call of Governor Mc-
Knery for troops is received by the order-loving
citizens f Louisiuuu. The crisis is perilous,
tlcncml Grant has committed gross error in
! suHtaiuing the edicts of the usurping Judge

' stutfings of the Kellogg faction.
Tlui testimony taken by the Senate C ommit
tee is conclusive as to the corruptions of Kellogg,
backed by the moral force it the Administra

If the I'resident see* he has committed an error

Tlv Ho ml Discussion.
fnr our article on “The Allignment,” in a re
cent issue of this paper, we quoted the Atlanta
Constitution, a* we thought correctly on the
bond question In its issue of the 2d. it furnishes
the paragraph defining the position of the
bond-holders os stated by themselves, which
must have been overlooked in making up our
article. Tie difference is this: What the Isind
hoiders assert relative to their innocent poaeet
sion of the liogOM bonds, we inadvertently at
tribute! V) the Constitution. But we submit
that the subjoined paragraph does allow at least
a quasi endorsement of the bond-holders' state
ment:
“This" (the confession of the bond-holders os
to the fraud of the bond*,) “puts a different as
pect on the case and constitutes o stronger claim
upon the State's consideration.”
Wc cannot conceive how the confession can
alt* r the status of the bonds ns to validity or in
validity. The equities in the question cannot
come under the purview ot individual acknowl
edgement as to fraud, nor should they be influ
enced by irrelevant developments in the further
prosecution of the matter.
In stating that the Constitution “was of opin
ion that the holders of bogus bonds should not
be allowed to suffer loss by reason of the com
pliment,” Ac., we did not intend to make a po
sition for him, mnch less would we misrepre
sent any position taken by the Constitution.
Nor was it our intention to “hunt up” inconsis
tencies or misrepresent, but to present the matter
in a clear and intelligible light.
When the bond question was presented to the
people it wpk thought that the Bond Committee
had so completely performed their work, that
but little remained to be known. But when
Snead's proposition was made and additional
fact* gradually cane* to light, notably among
which was the reported innocence of certain
bond-holders, in common with some and our most
distinguished cotemporarid, wevror* >f opinion
that the interests of the State demanded a quick
disposition of this vexed question, on the basis
of common equity. That such equities exist w
cite the arguments of Gen. Toombs and Hon.
David Irwin. But this principle of equity exists
in tftis case more in an esoteric than open man
ner, throwing it rather into thu u).*tnu t forms
of civil jurisprudence.
While we re not opposed to further investiga
tion, or opiniouing, wepercieve as yet no mark
ed results looking to a satisfactory basis ot settle
ment, or the solution so clamored for by the d
-tra iimstigationisU. This while bond matter
should be disposed of in Hitch a way as G< orgia
will not suffer in purse or financial standing, or
receive a blot upon her moral escutcheon for
h rali, or ungenerous dealing. In the meantime
if there is any additional light to be thrown into
the discussion let it be received for what it is
worth. Judicial opinions determine the legal
Hiatus of questions, but opinions should not con
travene the well defined rights of a sovereign
State. The tax payers of Georgia,through their
exponents, must determine the final disposition
of this question; and none appreciate* better than
they the moral power of honesty in the adjust
ment of all questions of a local or nalionul sig
niticauce. We give credit to our eotemjKimry lor
having elicited a greater amount of legal acumen
iu the bond discussion than any journal in the
State. Its enterprise is commendable; and while
its expression has been full, it has been able and
judicious. Like our eotempomry, it is our cus
tom to discuss the merits of questions, ns they
effect government and society, before subjecting
them to the crucible of opinion; aud in the future
discussion of the Laid matter wc shall insist on
w hat wo conceive to be light aud for the welfare
of Georgia.

It is said that Amadeus expected to be recall
ed, when he r $ > *d the crown of Spain, by the
army whose cause ho had espoused against the
ministry. How sadly he has been deceived sub
aequent events have proven. Amadeus was ve
ry silly to trust bis cause to the monarchist of
ficers of (he army. He has Lftaerown; who
shall wear it ? Or will it Ih> disposed of amoug
the decaying relics of the blackened F.scuriid?
Royalty fines not walk in flowery ways in the
erst lesplendent dominions ot Ferdinand and
Isabella. Iu many respects Spain has not ma
terially changed since the uuinorblc flight of
Boabdil from the besieged Alhambra Then the
restless, fiery Moor was a child of plots and sedi
tion; now his descendants are not less noted for
their intrigues, hatred ot domination and love of
faction.
Can Spain be Republican and be Spain ? Can
Emilio Castellar lay the wand of his consum
mate eloquence on the public discontent and
calm those seething elemeute which light the
fires ol rebellion and pilhvge in Vullambrosix and
the outward provinces ? We do not think it
likely that the monarchists, Os and
other factionKts, will permit a Republic, lull
fledged, to spring into life without resisting the
authority on which its life is predicated. Al
ready Don Carlos, with five bat tuitions of infan
try is moving on Madrid. Other factions being
divided, it is m >ro than probable he will st- p in
and assume supremo control, possessing mom
adherents, aiul sustained by the sympathy ot
contiguous powerful monarchies, who are inter
ested in perpetuating monarchy around their
borders. Some disturbance has already growu
out of the Republican uprising in Spain; and
should it not be speedily overthrown, may re
sult in important modifications in the govern
ments of Portugal and Italy.

! The Putnam House is crowded to overflowing
with Northern visitors, aud under the new man

most perfect satisfaction. Col. Hart, a resident
of this place is know n all over the Union, as
having the finest orange grove in Florida; and
for the other gentlemen, we must say they can
not be surpassed as proprietors and genial land
lords; tor this morning we have received at their
hands much kiudness, with others at the Fut
imm. that will long endear them to memory. For
comfort and elegant living, the Putnam is most
excellent and wo advise the travelling public to
give it a trial and be* convinced.
There arc thousands of Northern visitors in
Florida and they ara spending a great deal of
money m this section.
The orange crop, not much damaged by the
cold, premises well for the future and as there
are thousands of young groves coming into bear,
