JOHN H. JAMES.
On our Aral page we print a signifi
cant article ou the subject of the cun,lid
icy of Mr.' John R. James for guberna
torial honors, from the unuatio pen of
Brother Ham, of the Warrenton Clip
per, and commend the same to the at
tention of our readers.
Brother Ham i* evidently iu earnest
end means business ; ami, although we
are ignorant of the contents of that
"memorandum hook," to which ho al
holes, we are more than confident that
he is ahle and roa’y to prove every
us.eition he may see proper to make.
If Mr. .Tamee persists in -forcing himself
upon the people of our noble old Com
monwealth aa a candidate, with a murky
record and doubtful capacity, he must
make his calculations to submit to . am
agiag exposures from the indep< ndent
press of the State,
centennial pare*.
As quite a number of people in our
section of the Bute contemplate visiting
the Oeutenuial humbug, regardless ot
the scarcity of mouey, the extreme pov
erty and actual suffering which exist in
many parte of the oouotry, we append a
list of pricee for tickets, as published iu
tha Atlanta (Constitution, so they may
aaa what an experiment iu cheap patriot
ism will cost them. These rates are to
be observed by all lines, and any reduc
tion by one will be followed by an imme
diate reduction by all. The tickets will
be good for sixty days. There are also

Rcivral weeks ago a bill, red.icing iho
salary of Site President to tl.e old amount
of • S2S?IXJO per annum, fewped both
Houses of Congress. On the 19th inst.
this bill was returned to the Senate
where it originated, with the President’s
disapproval and his reasons for the
same Re states th it 825,000, which,
when our population numbered only
! all'll!t 3,000,000, and the px.-enses of liv
t ing were proportional- ly small, was sal
i ery enough, ia now entirely immffieieut
to defray the vastly ittereased expenses
of the White House, and sustain with
becoming diguity the position of Chief
Magistrate of a gr-at Republic of 40,-
000,000 of people.
This, at all events, i- one act of the
President which we can endorse. We
think his reasons for disapproving a re
duction of the President’s salary are
eminently correct (Ad forcible ; and, as
he does not expect to fill the office of
President again, his opinions, founded
upon experience, are disinterested and
worthy of consideration. We do not be
lieve in cheap officers of any kind, par
ticularly whet* intellect, honesty and fi
delity are required. In endeavoring to
reduce the expense* of the general Gov
ernment, Congress has in this, us iu ma
ny other instance*, struck iu the wrong
direction. If they would confine their
efforts to abolishing the host of useless
officers, unearthing the rascality and ex
posing the frauds and stopping the thiev
ing which pervades every department of
the government, they would accomplish
infinitely more good than by reducing
salaries which are already too small.
If our Congressmen arc really anxious
to esti Wish eoonflSnv in the government
expenditures, let them adopt a sugges
tion which we urged (but without effect)
on our last-State Legislature. Lot them
abolish the present system of mileage, \
which is nothing but a legalized stoindle, I
and claim only ac uni traveling expenses j
to and from the Capital.
But, like the Georgia Legislature,
though rampant for ec nomy, they would
see their tnx-puying constituents steeped
to tho lips in poverty, aud ground to the
earth with taxation before they would
discontinue the mileage grub, aud refuse
to receive pay foraervices never rendered.
-
IN THE I* It EH I HEN r GUILTY f
The investigations which the present
Congress bus been making have rovealo 1
such startling frauds and corruption
among government officials that thepub
lio, ufter becoming disgusted, ha* Jgrown
callous, not to say indifferent. Nea-ly
every Department of this model Repub
lican government, when subjected to the
test of investigation, shows the grossest
corruption. ,
We have watched these disgraceful
disolnutos, mure ia shame than anger,
attributing much of tbeir seemiDg im
portanca to a Democratic Congress, bit
terly inimical to the Administration ; but
the proofs of almost unirersul venality
aud dishonesty ou the part of those oc
cupying high positions <vf honor and
rust, arc accumulating so rapidly that
even the most charitable or incredulous
cannot longer entertain reasonable
doubts.
We have been forced to see that tho
President, for nearly eight years, has
chosen for his companions and official
favorites men of no character whatever,
ami has shielded and defended them with
a devotion worthy of a better cause; but,
until recent dev elopmeuts, we have not
believed tlmt be himself was a party to
their rascality. The results of last
week's investigations, however, have
about annihilated our oonfideuoe in Geu,
Grant’s honesty.
The Committee on Expenditures in
‘he Department of Justice, Thursday
*st, examined Col. 11. C. Whitley,
Chief of the Secret Service Division,
who reluctantly admitted that he had re
ceived, partly from Akerman aud partly
from Williams, ex-Attornies General,
more than $50,000 out of the Secret Ser
vice fund, which he had paid over to one
Davenport, a New York politician, for
the purpose of oontroUng the elections
in that city since 1871. He atso pro-’
dnoed his orders from the Government
to pay this money, and Davenport’s re
ceipts for the same. Davenport was al
so before the Committee, and his testi
mony, in the maiu, corroborated that of
Whit ley.
But the most important testimony is
that of ex-Attorbey General Williams,
who, under a rigid examination, admit
ted the payment of the public mouey as
-toted by Whitley and Daveupart, and
was also forced to admit that this had
been done by the peremptory order s of
the Preeident himself.
This is a brief outline of the proof so
far, and, coining aa it dues from the
Presideut’6 intimate friends and political
adherents, seems conclusive as to his
guilt The Telegraph and Messenger
says :
And it is disheartening to reflect how
many prominent politician* and public
men in the Radical party knew of this
black crime ngaiust tue American peo
ple and quietly connived at it—have nev
er opened their lips -on the subject to
this day. They knew of this fraud, and
they divided the proceeds among them
selves and the voter t without a word of
exposure or remonstrance.
Still more astounding is the redaction
that this hi probably only one of a great
many such fraudulent appropriations of
the public money. Their name, doubt
less, is legion. While the American tax
payers have been groaning under au
enormous burden of taxatiou, their tox
money has been worse than wasted in
corrupting the very sources of tree and
upright government.
We trust the committee will not let
Williams go till they have wrung out of
him the last fact connected with this
eoe-pvi-jcy *g-ri»M b-jne-t government.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Below we print tho full text of the
decision of the Supreme Court in a case
carried up from thia oounty, which, in
addition to its local interest, is cjuite im
portant. to all persons interested in
Bankrupt proceedings.
The case was ably argued before the
Supreme Court by Mr. Paul C. Hudson,
of this place. This was his maiden
speech bofore that lyigust body, umi we
are proud to learn that lie acquitted him
self with much honor and credit, and
received the hearty congratulations of
the Court and Bar on his able argument
of the legal questions involved.
Heard vs Jones. Claim, from McDuffie.
WARNER, O. J.
This is a claim case arising from the
following facts :
Heard is assignee of ft fu in which
Nolan is plaintiff. Jones is claimant,
having purchased the laud levied ou
from Griffin, defendant in fi fn.
Ou tho 7th day of September, 1808,
Nolan obtained judgement in Columbia
superior court against said Griffin aa
principal, and F. S. Griffin and Win.
Woodall, as securities, tor $1,187.27, and
this judgement was duly assigned to
Heard on January 10, 1878.
In the latter part of 1873, said It. G.
Griffin was adjudicated a bankrupt, and
the land levied on waa duly declared
part of his homestead exemption,
February t?, 1874, sitiA Heard p.rqyed
his judgment debt in bsSikruptey, and
iu Rind proof neither rested nor releas
ed his lieu. I '-* * t
Having bet*n 'Hnforme<f that, it Wm
improvident for him to have proven said
debt. Heard ou the sth of
January, 1875, sought to withdraw his
exooution which lie snopmed he had
annexed to his proof, bet leave was re
fused. He subsequently finds lie had
not attached the original, bnt it had been
lost. He therefore establishes an alias
fl fa which is levied on the land claimed.
The claimant, Jones, purchased said
land from said R. G. Griffin bv deed
dated April 1, 1874.
On the trial, plniutiff in fl fa (or Heard
ns assignee) pint iu evidence the fl fa and
levy, proved assignment, of same to him,
and title in the di.feudaiit at time of
judgment and until April 1, 1874, date
of deed to claimant, and closed.
Claimant thru offered in evidence ex
emplification of record of probate of
claim by Heard, ot exemption of bind
levied on to It. G. Griffin, by assignee
in bankruptcy, oi" Heard’s attempt to
withdraw proof of claim ami its failure,
deed from register to assignee iu bank
ruptcy, and of dis barged of said Griffin.
It was admitted by counsel that Heard
bad received no dividend from It. G.
Griffin, but the evidence iu the record
shows that the plaintiff. Heard, secured
from the assets of Woodall, one of the
defendants iu the judgment, the sum of
$49 .10 which was awarded to said plain
tiff's claim, and paid over to him.
The court instructed the jury to re
turn a verdict for claimant, which was
doue, ami counsel for Hatml excepted.
The only question mad« and insisted
on here, was whether Heard, by proving
his judgment debt iu the bankrupt court,
thereby lost his judgment lien ou the
bankrupt's lam! which had been set apart
to him aa ac exemption by the bankrupt
court iu the administration of the assets
of tha bankrupt's estate. Tho plaintiff's
judgment was a debt due by the bank
rupt It was also si debt of record, which
by the statute law of this state, created a
lieu ou the bankrupt's property. When
Griffin waa adjudicated a bankrupt, it
was optional with Hear •, his judgment
creditor, whether he would go into the
bankrupt court aud prove his debt iu
that court, and share in the distribution
of the assets of the bankrupt’s estate, or
keep out of that court and rely ou his
judgement lieu for the payment of his
debt. Jones vs Lillyet A- Smith, 39th
Geo. Rep., 64. It appears from the ev
idence in the record, that the plaintiff
Heard, weut iuto bankrupt eourt aud
proved the amount of his debt as being
due on a judgment, and afterwards,
wheu it waa ascertained that in tue ad-

be nothing for him to get
in paycont of hia deb* so proved by him
in f’sf the bankrupt court out of the
assets of tbe defendant G .ffin, although
he did receive the sum of $404.10 out of
the assets of Woodall, the other defen
dant in tbe judgment, which waa paid to
hie chum, nf prffFed by him in the bank
rupt court, the said Woodall having been
also adjudicated a bankrupt, though the
debt does not appear to have been proved
otherwise than a- against Griffin, he pe
titioned the Register to aliow him to
withdraw his claim from that court in
which he had proved it. Tie Register
refused to allow him to withdraw it, aud
at the request of tbe plaiutiff, tbe Regis
ter certified tbe facts to tiie District
Judge for his judgment thereon. The
Register in his report of the facts to the
District Judge, states that the plaiutiff
had proved bis debt iu the bankrupt
court. The District Judge approved the
decision of the Register iu refusing to
allow tbe plaintiff to withdraw hi- prov
en claim from that court. Tbe record
from the bankrupt court, establishes the
fuct, that the plaintiff did provo his debt
against the bankrupt in that oourt, aud
, that it w*c. uot withdrawn therefrom
; prior to the bankrupt's final discharge,
i It was however,insisted on the argument
: hereJd.uXaa the piijiutiJtLhad proved ins
debt a* » debt due da a judgment, that
. it would not have been entitled to share
iu tbe distribution of the assets of the
, bankrupt's estate because lie did not re
issue lot lien created by the judgment to 1
the assignee.
i A debt due on a judgment is not any j
i the leas a debt due by the bankrupt to
I the plaintiff because it is reduced to a
! judgment, aud if the plaintiff chooses to •
prove that judgment debt in the bank- 1
‘ nipt cflurt, for the purpose of obtaining j
his pro rata share of the bankrupt's es- j
i tats, be will be at liberty to do so, but :
: when he does that he will be considered i
as haring waived his lien created by that j
judgment on the other property of the ;
: bankrupt, for it would be unjust to the ;
I other creditors of ‘lie bankrupt for Inin j
! to reertve hie pro rata share of the bank- j
j rnpt's assets to be applied to that judg- j
j ment debt, and then to be allowed to i
en{iree his judgement lien against the
| property of the bankrupt iii satisfaction i
i tWWWfr TTtc pfsiutiff wad received all I
j the mosey lie could find iu the bankrupt j
I court due on his judgment debt either i
l>v Oiiffi" or Woodall, including the j
8104.10 arising from the sale of Wood- !
all's pPipertv, and that was doubtless j
the reason why the bankrupt court re- ;
fused to allow him to withdraw his claim, j
In view of the evidence disclosed in the j
record we affirm the judgment of the !
court tielow.
