is at present without u Treasurer, cmise
ipiently all linnucial trmrsuctious with
the Htute are being had through the
Governor. The cause of the suspension
of Treasurer Jones may be stated briefly
as follows :
Alsint two weeks ago it was brought to
the Governor's notice that the Treasurer
wus holding office under insufficient
bond—indeed lmd never given any but a
temporary bond. Accordingly the Gov
ernor notified him that Ik must not only
give a ucw bond within teu days, but
that the same must he strengthenod.
The ten days having expired and the
Treasurer having failed to comply with
the law, the following order wus issued
from the Executive Department;
Atlanta, Or, November 20, 1875.
Jons Jones. Esq., Atlanta, Gil :

There is one department of the gov
ernment which shonld at least receive os
much attention a* the hands of reformers
as those heretofore prominently alluded
to in t hat connection. We allude to the
powers and pay of officers of the govern
ment uuder direction of the United
States Courts, so far as relates to the
arrest of psrties who aid iu illicit distili-
I ing. We would not defend those who
openly violate tlie Federal statutes but
i think a limit should be hud to the au
thority for the arrest of those employed
by the principals in the matter. There
Is no doubt but that innocent citizens
iof Georgia have suffered greatly in
the manner openly complained of iu
Tennessee, where it is suid Federal offi
ecs have been prostituted end those who
lihed them have grown rich. The New
York Sun has the following iu regard to
I this matter iu Tennessee :
Hundreds of poor men, whose sole of
fence i» that tiny have made a lire nmler
a kettle, or cut a o.rd ot wood it may tie,
| simply as employee., of others, the prin
cipals in the ru.s •, are modi to share with
tutor employers in the joinings and req
iiisitions for bail couw queut upon dis
! covery and arrest, though perfectly inno
. cent of any intentional v.long doing.
These meii in nine cases out of ten are
so poor that even in the immediate
neighborhood of their own homes they
would lie utterly unable to furnish bonds
j for their appearance to any amount. But,
I list they might, it is the practice usually
io take them as fur away us possible
from any menus of so doing. Thrown
into jail, away from bonus, ignorant,
poor to ragged ness, amt utterly unable
; to escape me process, these poor devils
1 arc then subjects to a ay-stem of terror
ism for weeks, which Ims this result—
when brought to trial they are induced
j through fear of the mighty name of the
United Blutes Court, and tlpur inability
jto employ counsel, seconded by the
strenuous efforts of the District Attor
ney and his assistants to induce them to
, HO do, to submit their eases with a plea
! of guilty, and usk for sentence without !
; the formality of u trial by jury, with the I
j hope of a lighter sentence.
I And here comes in the profit of the ,
i officials. For every trial by jury, end-!
| ing in oonvieiioo, the District Attorney's ;
| fees are fixed by statute nt. 820. For a
' submission without trial, ou a plea of ;
| guilty, his fee is <*lo only, and the roe-
I ords of this one court alone for the post
j live years show that over a thousand
! eases that were submitted without trial
! ire euicied of record as having been !
| tried by jury, and bills tor services of
i .he District Attorney and his assistants, *
: audited and paid by the department at

The ('ourirr-.hjnnuil sayH the death 1
if .Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, has ,
allied renewed attention to the political)
j diameter of that body. When full it
j -onsists of seventy-four members. The
! Democrats have already twenty-eight
j nom) ers. If Governor fngersol, of
Uonoectiout, convenes the Legislature to i
•laiimo a Bomtnv in tin- place of Mr.
Ferry, some Democrat) will bo elected
who will hold over till 1875). This makes
twenty-nine Democratic Benators. In
addition to this, the. vacancy from fami
sinna will prolntbly be filled this winter
by a Democrat or a liberal Republican.
Charges w ill be filed against Bponoer
1 Rep,, Ala.,) and one or two other Re
publicans alleging corruption in their
elections, and it i.\ said the proofs will he
strong enough to unseat at least two of
them. Mr. Booth, of California, is un
indt'pehdout, and Messrs. Robertson,
(Rep., 8. 0.), Himvou (Rep. Nov.),
Clinstiaocy (Rep., Mich.), and Conover
(lteb. Flu.), arc far from being ultra and
unscrupulous i artisuus. The Senate is
thus Republican, Imt there is no longer
a violent partisan majority ait in former
years, The Democrats have an excel-
I lent prospect of gaining control of the
Btinute on the 4th of March, 1877. They
have gullied ,me Senator in Mississippi,
j mnl will certainly gain oue iu Arkansas
1 and one in Texas, with good chances for
v.teiiu' cs occurring in Louisiana, New
Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin and New
Hampshire ere March i, 1877. The dan- |
gcr of losing control of the body may
lead the Republicans to scat Pinchbock,
right or wrong, thus winter.

M kssks. Kiuroits :
Knowing you to he jolly, good- '
hearted fellows, ever ready to drop a
sympathetic tear in behalf of oppressed
i humanity, 1 ln-sitate not to ask a short
: space in the columns i.f your elegant
j loritVAt, ; not that 1 expect, or even dn
j sire, to present to yon and your many
1 leaders a loug, juicy, sweet-scented epis
tle- one fraught with the quintesceut
elements of mi elaborate description of
cyclones, earthquakes, etc., but I come
I before you without ostentation, and
I shall speak with fearless emphasis in be
! half of a fragment of unmercifully
| abused humanity, namely, the ‘Renters,’
with which unfortunate class your hum
ble servant claims a common brother
i hood.
Now, what no complain of is, that we
\ cannot sustain ourselves mnl families,
aud pay the high rates of rent extorted
from us by some, and 1 might say a ma
jority of the supposed, or self-styled
gentry of this country, whose ancestors
bequeathed to them a few acres of red
lulls and sandy planes for an inheri
tance, that they might, by tin “sweat of
the face” obtain a livetyhood. Bn; to
| obviate the necessity of so much labor
ou their part, they propose to rent these
hills and planes, and for a tme-horse, or
mule farm, os the case may be, they de
mand one thousand pounds ot lint (sit
ton, and in many instances, if the agree
m at is not very explicit, the whole
pound of flesh will be peremptorily de
manded, skin and Wood thrown in,
claimed, perhaps, as a recoLrJpnS* for ?
bagging end tics, {lacking and {irompt i
delivery at the railroad station. Now,
don’t every renter in McDuffie county 1
know that lit ea**t ufake ends meet and
pay such exorbitant rates ? Don’t he
know that to continue to do so is equiva
lent to absolute suicide aud utter star
vation of his family ? Then, why will he
eoniinue to pursue a course that he must
know will inevitably leiul to such results'/
To al! such I would say, strike—strike
now, as y'our humble servant ha., done,
and swear by the “holy fathers” that
you will never pay such rates again.
Y’ou can get a home, never fear. These
hills and planes are worthless without la
bor, and the -landlord’ is compelled to
employ you, for the present, at least, or
starve himself. Generally eight hun
dred pounds of lint is as much as you
can afford to give for a one horse farm,
and the landlord should pay you for all
new rails put upon his fence, and all oth
er substantial improvements besides, and
even at this rate tlie land should be good
and seasons propitious, or you might be
visited by George Langford, or some
other seemingly ostentations official when
you might swear that you were not pre
pared to receive company stall. You
iiave, no doubt, observed that quite a
number of persons arc leaving Middle
Georgia and seeking homes in tlie far
West ; and wliy is this so 7 Because of
the oppressive rule of the landlords of
this country- This is inviting emigra
tion to Georgia with a vengeance. Now,
Mos srs. Editors, 1 have had my say, aud
if 1 have offended anybody, I hope you
will intercede ami bring about a reconcil
iation if you can reasonably do so ; if
not, just say yon don’t think i care a—•
Now T will Iml you adb-n, by wishing
that your list of subscribers may soon
grow to the extent of yotir desire.

j COMMUNICATED, j
iffHWt Editor* :
Will you allow a few lines in vmir pa
per for the purpose nf'calling the atten
tion of eitizejis of the town to v.b'tit we
regard ns the disastrous ef!-. -t of th-- late
Ordinance licensing the vending of fresh ‘
meat ?
We will first premise by f rying that
we have no doubt but that the Commis
sinners thought it would util, i veu use
ful purpose, but they are honestly mis
taken. If the citizens of the surround
ing country are allowed the unrestricted
privilege of disposing of their meat in
such quantities mt they may see fit, who
does it injure? Oertainly i*o one. On
the contrary whom does tlm restriction
of this rigiit benefit? No one but tin
'l’mvn Council t i the amount of ten do!
[srs, the license fee, and the party who
tukes out tlm license. How does it ben
efit him ? By giving him a monopoly.
How many does it injure, and win arc
they? In the first place by licencing ]
- .■.omperiGrnOnmmig the buyers, it forces
the fiit-z.i i in the couibry to take the
i fixed price of the monopolist or drives
i him to some other market. It also forces
- the Citizen of the town to give whatever ;
\ juice the monopolist may ask regardless
lof the market value of tin article. Now,
' Mr. Ivuox is a special friend of your cor
respondent, and wo would do quilling to
' injure him ; but wo pivttuuc Mr. K nox
| iH both able and willing to compete with
: others who may wish to , .11 fresh meat
|in this market. If ho iu not, let him
I “sell out” to someone who is. We arc
| the enemy of monopoly 1,0 matter
; whether it aspires to the dignity ol a
Ring for the control of millions, or mod*
| cstly confine.' its operations to the selling
|of fresh meat in a country village. It
might do for the Town Council to rent
! its meat stalls if it had any, hut iu a
town the size of this, to license the juiv
ilogc of selling mt articln of prime ueoei
aity, is not only impolitic nail unwise,
but unjust, not only to tlm m u t consu
mers of the town, but the aues-.t raisers of
the surrouuding country. We hope,
therefore, that the Council will refund
M". Knox lus money, and m-uu :.i. r its
action on this question. We cun hear
now the low mutterings which betoken
the coming storm, and as sun- us it is
that trade, like water, is continually
struggling to find its own level, so sure
this town will be deprived of its daily
supplies of fresh meat, if this O.dimiuee
is not repealed.
Wo merely throw out these sugges
tions for what they are worth, and to in
vite the attention of the citizens to the
subject. Thomsoji may bo strong—
. Thomson may be povv iful, but she ean
- not control the everlasting and immuta
ble law of supply and demand.

Concluding words of Hon. Porter In
gram’s remarks on the occasion of the
tribute to Gen. Benning’s memory, in
Muscogee Superior Court by the bar of
Columbus ;
A monument would you ereet to the
memory of Can. Benning? Brass is not
durable enough ; marble not white
enough ! Let the sVrhng traits of his
eburacter, as stamped upon the memory
; of his countrymen, stand as his monu
ment. Truth, integrity, courage moral
and physical; unimpeachable vev -ty ;
: honor and honesty untarnished—all these
were eminently his—and these will en
dure forever ; and let them stand as an
imperishable monument to the memory
of nu Aoaesf man !

Centennial year. It is tlso the year in
which an opposition House of Representa
tives. the first since the war, will be in pow
er at Washington: and the year of the
twenty-third election of v President of the
United States. All of these events are sure
to be of great interest and importance, es
pecially the two latter: and all of them and
everything connected wiub_ them will he ful
ly and freshly reported ana expounded in
The Huk.
The opposition House of Representative-;,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years

be hoped, lay the foundation for anew and
better period in our national history. Os
all this ihe StN will contuin complete and
accurate accounts, fnrmshiig its readers
with early ami trustworthy information up
on these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant s aspirations
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still wore as deciding who shall be the can
didate of the party of Reform, and as elect

subject*, those who read The Sun will have
the constant means of being thoroughly
well informed.
The Y»’i:f.kly Fun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every Mate and

will see their numbers doubled. It will
continue to be a thorough newspaper. Ail

trust, treated in a clear, interesting and in

It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun
the best family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of nfiscellauecuA reading, such
us stories, biles', poems, scientific intelli

: fertilizers largely for the last two years. Its value :s greatly enhanced by its long years
of service, acting as it does for years after its application is forgotten. In soils abound
ing in vegetable substance* the manuzia! quality :n l ime is morn fniiy recognized. Ni
trogen abounds tn ail soils of common fertility, but little of it is available Lime un
| looks this storehouse of Nitrogen and renders it readily available far plant food.
A splendid and economical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one
! bushel of Salt and three of Lime, and let mixture stand 6 to 8 Weeks before using.
This is specially adapted to using in drill for Turnips.
The cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderful renovator of tb. soil ought to
i milk* it one of the first objects of the farmer ( who desires to improve bis huid) to ob
j tarn it. Nothing in the way of a fertilizer or renovator has l>een found equal to it. an
j proved by the increased yield of crops aud permanent improvement of the sail, at as
; cost less, bv far, than any other manure.
