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.
