Donation of the Ajcrlcultn*
ral Land Script,
We regret exceedingly to nee that several of onr
cotemporeriea, especially onr Orifllin friend*, are
no lavish in thoir eenanre of Oov. Smith for do
nating the Agricultural Land Script to the
University of Georgia, Under the act of the Gen
eral Assembly, approved December 12, 1866, the
Governor of Georgia was era|>owored to aell the
land script donated by Congreaa, and to lnveat and
appropriate the proceeds of eaid acript for the
maintain&nce of such a college on waa contemplated
by act of Congreaa.
lly a proviaion of the act thie fund would have
necessarily been forfeited if not appropriated be
fore 2d July, 1872, Prompt action waa therefore
necessary to aave the fund.
The provisions of the act prohibited Governor
Smith from endowing any denominational
college, and as Dahlonega, Marietta, Milledgeville
end the State University were the most prominent
Aspirants for the fond, and the three formor not
being regularly incorporated, and consequently not
entitled to the donation, the Governor very wiaely,
we think, gave the script to the State University.
The OriSn News aays:
“Another thing that will strike the public who are
outside of‘Rings, 1 as a little remarkable, it why
was there ao much secrecy about the whole matter ?
Why was not the matter advertised and other places
given a showing at it ?”
The indirect charge of the Nows, that tho Tma
tcoa and Faculty of tho Univondty organized them
selves into a “Ring” to socure this donation ia a
very grave one- and one wo helievo to be utterly
groundless. Did not tho GriiOnitos, who ao great
ly desired the location of the Agricultural College
at that place, have the same ‘ ‘showing” at the land
s ript fund, oven if it wra not ‘ advertised,” as the
State University ? We think so—and, moreover,
think that tho mutterings of the News, and other
paporß that tho whole matter was conducted with
“secrocy” for evil purposes, is all a great piece of
tora-foolery. There was bnt ono college to be en
dowed, and how the Governor wns to satisfy the
clamorings of all those claimants with the limited
means at his disposal, and do his duty under the
restrictions of law resting on him, is a problem that
we are notable to solve. Weendorse tlie action of
Gov. Smith, fully and emphatically, and believe
that the location selected is tho moat favorable one
fur tho carrying ont of the object intended, and
t tat in the end it will provo the most advantageous
to the State.
No Thx -No Vote.
It is reported that It. 11. Whitley, a
so called Representative in Congress
trom the Third Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia, has brought for
ward a bill in the House, practically re
pealing section 2d of the second article
of the Constitution of Oeorgia, which
requires that the voter ‘shall have paid
alt taxes which may have been required
of him, and which he may have had the
opportunity of pacing agreably to law,
for theyd&r next*t2tt*‘.e<iing the election.’
Whueley’a bill provides that the rr.an
und brother may vote in Georgia wheth
er ho has paid any taxes or not, and yet
Whiteley helped to frame and voted for
the Constitution which prescribes that
equitable condition of suffrage. What
right has any man to vote under a gov
ernment to which he refuses to contrib
ute the smallest pecuniary support by
the payment of a poll tax, and that tax
to be expended in the education of his
children? Yet, for three or four years
was this reasonable provision of the Con
stitution practically annulled by the Ex
ecutive orders of Bullock, and now Bul
lock having fled to parts unknown,
Whiteley invokes the intervention of a
Radical Crongrcss to continue the work.
Let us see whether Congress will listen
to his appeals. If they do not, let White
ley apply to Grunt—he will perhaps is
sue the necessary order. Failing this,
Whiteley should apply to the Central
Republican committee and get an appro
priation to pay the tax. It is only a
dollar a head, and forty thousand dol
lais would fill the bill. —Macon Tele
graph.
Tkmpkrance Law in Illinois. —The
following are some of its leading feat
ures:
1. No man shall sell liquor without
a license, and no man shall have a li
cense who will not give a bond in the
penal sum of $3,000, with two good
securities, to repay all damages that
may arise from either selling or giving
away such liquor. 2. No liquor shall
be sold to minors or to persons either
intoxicated or in the habit of becoming
intoxicated.
3. All places where intoxicating liq
uors are sold contrary to law shall be
shut up and abated as public nuisances.
4. Any man who causes the intoxica
tion of another, with or without a li
cense, shall pay a reasonable compensa
tion to the person who bikes care of
the inebriate, to be recovered in an ac
tion of debt. 5- Every person who is
injured in any way, by any intoxicated
person, shall have a right action against
any man who caused the intoxication
in whole or in part, and against the
owner or owners of the building in
which the sale took place ; a married
woman having the same right to bring
suits, and to control the same and the
amount recovered, as a feme sole- The
giving away of liquors to evade the
provisions of the act shall be held to
beau unlawful selling. The remain
ing provisions relate mainly to the en
forcement of these above enumerated-
A Nice Point.— During the war, a
man named Smith bad a mule taken
from him by the United States military
authorities for use in the army. Smith
subsequently died, and his widow
made application for payment. Pend
ing the application of the with w, the
guardain of Smith’s infant children in
tervened, claiming that payment should
not be paid to the widow, but should be
paid to him. The guardian's allegation
is that, after Smith’s wife died (who
was the mother of these infant chil
dren), Smith married again; after
which Smith died, leaving this widow
(the applicant above described). But
it is alleged that when Smith married
this second wife she had another hus
band, and, therefore, her marriage to
Smith was void. The guardain conse
quently claims the money on behalf of
the minor children of Smith. The ap
plication, says the Washington Chroni
cle, is in the Third Auditor’s office,
and the e’erks there are puzzling them
selves over the conundrum.— Savannah
News.
B’orty years ago, says a New York pa
per, a blooming young girl of sixteen
married an old man of sixty for his mon
ey, expecting that he would soon die and
leave her a wealthy young widow.—
Last week, the lady died, ai the respect
able age of fifty six, leaving a husband
aged one hundred, and four children to
mourn h< r loss.
