Till-: EXFOsdTOK • WAYNESBORO’, GrJK. ]. e. frost, *• a. niuv, k. r. LAWSON, 8. £ corkkr. Frost, Lawson, Corker & Cray, proprietors. Independent —Not Neutral! SATURDAY, APRIL 12. 1873. C. M.'S AND B. P.’S Our Debatin'/ Society ’ lifts gravely undertaken to dispute over the ques tion, “Is C. M. worse than P. Con pressmen ?” Most of our reiideis may not understand that B. P. stands tor “Back Pay,” while they may readily perceive that 0. M. means Oaks Am us & Cos. The inchoative Demosthenes of this learned association may find aigu ments for both sides of the question proposed, but for our part we can only perceive, whether applied to the nation or to Georgia,a most one-sided set of ar guments. With the profouudest shame we yield, in this one instance of a fail test, the palm of honesty to the northern part of the “Glorious Union,” and are ready, iu these solemn words, to pro nounce judgmeut, when called to tho chair of “ Our Debating Society' u Young gentlemen , the D. D.s have it! Unquestionably C. M. was a most vil lainous piece of business, but tho un scrupulous act of the B. P.’s is certainly “the rankest compound of villainous robbery that has ever yet been perpe trated on the American people. This we are obliged to confess was peifoimcd mainly by Southern Congressmen. The dire earnestuees after pelf is the most alarming symptom of the whole thing. If we oould have possibly met with the excuse that, it was misguided judgment, and had seen recantations after an in dignant people had Bpoken through the scathing rebukes of the press, we may have been ablo to say, “go, and sin no more but, woe to Southron honesty ! there has been no retractions, and the eviscerated treasury is a silent monu ment to the decay of our sectional in tegrity. The grasp which pallida mors is said to hold on a defunct descendent of Ham has been successfully rivalled by the grasp of Southern members on the li demnitwn cash" obtained by the B. P. act. Young gentlemen, we must again solemnly insist that the B. P.’s have it. But. if your ingenuity can summon up one palliating argument to plant as a sweet-scented grass over the grave of our entombed reputation,in the name of Honesty, let us hear. We do not say we will never vote for a B. P.; because we did, to be a Democrat, vote very strangely in the last Presidential contest —but we pray now that the God of Politics may save us in future from such damnable heresies. COTJNTY REVENUE. We understand that the Supreme Court of Georgia have decided, in a ease carried up from Suuitcr county, that but one hundred per cent, on the State tax can be levied for county pur poses. The grand jury of that county, at the May term, 1872, recommended that 295 per cent, on the State tax be raised. We suppose that most of these taxes have been collected. But in the face of the decision referred to, what is to be done in the future ? The whole amount of property re turned as subject to taxation in the county of Burke is $1,892,503. Four tenths of one per cent, (which is all that can be collected for county pur poses under the decision referred to), wonld only realize the sum of $7,570. Upon inquiry we Lam that $7,000 or SB,OOO is exhausted annually in de fraying expenses of Superior Court; $3,000 in keeping up bridges; $2,000 for jail and SSOO for support of paupers. Twelve thousand dollars of county bonds are now in judgment, and six thousand dollars more are due, but have not been sued. Allowing $3,000 for the payment of County Treasurer, Receiver, aod Collector, and $l2O in terest on bouds, we have a sum total of $16,000 or $17,000 for current ex penses of the county for one year, and not including the $12,000 of bonds now in judgment. W* think this estimate is correct, after carefully examining the subject, and desire to call the attention of thinking men to the financial affairs of our county. , From inspection of tho tax books wo arc convinced that property is returned at much less than its market value.— Section 1121 of tho Code makes it the duty of the Receiver to take the re turns under oath or affirmation. Sec tions 83") and 836 make it his duty to scrutinize all returns made to him, and if,.in his opinion, property is returned at les than its value, ho is required to place an estimate on said property, from which estimate, the tax payer has an appeal by arbitration. \\ lien the Receiver takes oath of office he solemnly swears to carry out these re quirements of the Code, which are par ticularly mentioned in said oath of office. As Receivers neglect to do their duty in this particular, the result is a most unequal distribution of the burthen of taxes, and an amount raised by taxation ridiculously small for the extent and wealth of Burke, and totally inadequate to defray the current ex penses of the county. We call the attention of the grand jury to this subject that they may have time to devise a remedy, and in their capacity as guardians of the public, prevent the wrong done to conscientious tax payers, and provide a remedy for our financial difficulties. Either the Receiver must be required to do his duty or a bill passed by the legislature authorizing the election of a board of commissioners, whose duty it shall be to assess all property. We prefer the first method, on the ground of economy and because we think it no more diffi cult to compel the Receiver to do his duty than it would be to compel the commissioners to do theirs. The law is ample if you will enforce it. Let us see if the next grand jury will do its duty, by remedying this injustice and providing for this emergency —or end their .sittings in a farce, by making general recommendation?, high-sound ing and meaningless. f [communicated.] A PUBLIC CALAMIIY. HOMESTEAD AM) RELIEF. NUMBER I. Mr. Editor: —The recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, iu the cases of Walker vs. Whitehead and Gunn vs. Barry, have fallen like a thunderbolt upon our distressed and struggling people; and are destined to prove Pandora boxes, from which will spring almost interminable evils. The whole people of Georgia, by gradual reaction, had reached a point sufficient ly remote from the losses and disasters of war, to encourage tho hope of pro gress and prosperity iu the future.— Men Were beginning to feel safe in their homes, and were no longer oppressed by fears of starvation and death. They could look upon their wives and children without dread of immediate destitution; j for whatever may be said of our Ilotne i stead and Relief laws, in a strictly tech i meal poiut of view, they have been the sal i ration of the people of Georgia; and pub j lie opinion should sustain them as great j Acts of Peace and Settlement. These decisions will inflict a blow scarcely less | severe than that which followed the j closing scenes of tho war itself. Inline -1 diately and remotely both debtor and | creditor must -suffer under this unex l pectod shock. Trade, agriculture and finance will tumble and fall. The old i judgment creditor may reap a tempora ry benefit; but he will paralize and de stroy the very means from which alone he can hope to derive advantage in the future. He is killing, in his hot desire, the goOse that laid the golden egg. De strop the family , and the State dies; pro tect it, and the people prosper. These truths should be solemnly pondered by our whole people; and tho lawyers— those noble guardians of public liberty and private interests, should move to mold opinion in this alarming crisis.— Let them advise clients to leniency and moderation; promote compromises, and, if possible effect settlements. They may lose a few paltry fees by such a course, but their reward will come hereafter, and their philanthropy and patriotism be remembered and cherished by a grateful people. TULLY. A Louisvillo liquor merchant has sent a thirteen year old barrel of Bour bon to the Vienna Exposition, with in structions to his agent there to keep it for tho special wetting of Kentucky whistles.

At a meeting of the Ladies’ Memo rial Association, held this day, Mrs. S. A. Corker, President, tendered her resignation; and Mrs. M. Mackenzie was elected President. Mrs. A. G. Whitehead was appointed Secretary pro. tom. This business being arranged, an elec tion for orator, to deliver an address at the floral decoration, on tho 26tli inst., was next in order, which resulted in the unanimous choice of Mr. It. O. Lovett. A resolution was then introduced, that, this meeting stand adjourned until the close of the exercises on the 26th of the present month, when each and every member was earnestly requested t) meet iu tho cemetery, to transact such business as may come up for the advancement of the Association. Each member present greitly regrrt cd tho lethargy exhibited on the part of tho members. Mrs. 111. Mackenzie. Pres’t. Mrs. A. G Whitehead, Sec.pro. tern. [From the Charleston News.] A LEAF FROM HISTORY. Why the Federal Government Did Not Prosecute Jeff'. Davis. A distinguished party of gentlemen from Massachusetts, who arrived in the city last Wednesday on their way far tlier South, and a elect party of Char leston gentlemen, -vho had been invited to meet them, were entertained by Col. Richard Lathers, at his mansion on tho South battery, yesterday afternoon.— The visitors from tho North were the Hon. John 11. Clifford, who has held successively the positions of Attorney General, Governor and Supreme Ccprt Justice of Massachusetts, and who is now the President of the Boston and Providence Railroad Company ;• the lion. John C. Iloadlcy, of Lawrence, Muss.; Major 11. C. Brooks, and one or two other gentlemen. The Char lestonians who were invited to meet them included a number of the most prominent gentlemen of the city, mud the meeting of these representative men from the‘political antipodes of the country proved an exceedingly pleasant one, both parties taking occasion to ex press to their host the pleasure that the meeting afforded them. Judge Clifford is one of the most distinguished jurists of Massachusetts, and has bucu prominently connected with several events which have become matters of national, history. The fa mous Wcbster-Parkman murder oc curred while he was the Attorney Gen eral of Massachusetts, and lie conducted the prosecution of that case to its final result in the execution of Dr. Webster for bis atrocious crime. Another event of great historical interest in which Judge Clifford partcipated was the solemn consultation of a s nail number of the most able lawyers of the North at Washington, a few months after war, upon the momentous question as to wlmtner the Federal Government should commence a criminal prosecution against then Hon. Jefferson Davis for his par ticipation and leadership in the war of sect.-don. In this council, which was surrounded at the time with the utmost secrecy, and which lias never yet been described, were United States Attor ney General Speed, Judge Clifford, the lion. William M. Evarts, and perhaps half a dozen others wiio had been se lected from the Northern profession for their legal ability and acumen, and the result, of thuir deliberation was the sudden abandonment of the case by the Federal Government in view of,the in surmountable deffiouities in the way of getting a final conviction, which were revealed by their patient study of tho law bearing upon the ease. Mr. Hoad hy, thou and now a near neighbor and intimate friend of Judge Clifford, re lates that before thA latter set out for Washington to join this- conference lie paid him (Mr. Headley) the compli ment of calling upon him to consult, upon the momentous questiou which he was about to assist in solving, and it was agreed between them that, unless it was clear that the conviction of Mr. Davis would follow his trial, and that the law and the facts on the side of (he prosecution would be irresistable in the Supreme Court as well as in whatever court of original jurisdiction the case might be initiated, it would be tho part of wisdom and true statesmanship as well as policy not to begin the prosecu tion. The conference took place and was long, learned and profound. The Fed eral Constitution, the law' of nations, the decisions of the Supreme Court in the trial of Aaron Burr, and other causes | celebre , having more or less bearing on | the case then under consideration, and the whole list of State trials in the his | tory of the civilized world, were studied ; weighed, analyzed and dissected. The council was divided upon some points ! and agreed upon others. Some were at | first strenuous for prosecution, others who had weighed the subject more care -1 full insisted from the first upon the futility of such a course, and finally the wiser counsels of the latter prevailed and the proposed prosecution of Mr. Davis was, as will be remembered, sud denly abandoned, although it may doubtless, be news to many of our read ers to learn that this sudden change of policy was the direct result of the solemn conclave, After tin* council liad adjourned, and Judge (llilford had returned to hUhoine. | Mr. Ifofidley ii:quiml*tlie result of tlioir deliberation*, and Judgo Clifford made a striking and characteristic reply ii) something like the following language: “ Romarkublo as tlie facts may appear, wo tiud that the laws of the United States are not so constructed as to af ford any certainty if punishing high treason or re bell ion, and Mr, Davis, if I arraigned under them cannot bo brought to conviction. Perhaps it is that the men who framed our fundamental law and system of government, ucd who were thm flighting for liberty, with, baiters about their necks, end not pay much attention to the , question of punishing in the futrre the acts which they were committing themselves.'’ Another reminiscence illustrated the swftimcnt of the thinking men of tho North, in 1805, was related by Mr. lloacßey of the Ron John A. Andre v, tile Governor of Massachusetts. It was on tiie day of the grand review of the federal army in Washington ; a number of gentlemen were being enter tained at the residence of Gen. S Ij. M. B: irlow in that city, and tho conver sation had turned to tho subject ot bringing the lenders of the Confederate cause to punishment under the criminal law of the land, when Gov. And ew ex pressed himself as follows : “It can not be done—the cri initial law has no application here. Why, it is proved by its very title that tho criminal law is a law for law or code of laws formed by the great body of tho people, who are in the main good men, for the regulation ami punishment of the bad men scattered here and there throughout society, “But when a whole people commit an act rash, impolitic and direful in its Consequences though it may bo, and the best and wisest men and woman of the whole people participate therein, en courage and lead it, it is impossible to consider the criminal law as being framed to meet that ca-c, or as being in any way applicable thereto. “These people appealed to the arbitrament of war, and they have suf fered bv tho war —ihat is their punish ment. 1 believe in giving them war, when it was war they wanted—yes, and I gave a captain’s Commission once to a Massachusetts sergeant for no other reusou than that he had with his own hands hanged seven guerrillas. That was war—that was the metstirc of their puuishment—■•bnt criminal law* has no thing to do with this case.” Ttiis declaration of the emphatic Gov ernor of Massachusetts caused the re mark, when related yesterday, that it had an historical parallel ii the fcnmis words of Burke, when lie told the Brit ish Parliament, in reference to the American revolutionists, that lie “knew of no way to write ail indictment of a whole people.’ A number of similar reminiscences of Northern and Southern history were related, and after an hour or two of plea.-aat conversation and mutual ex pressions of a desire tor better acquaint ance and a fuller appreciation of the condition of both scctttVi' 3 ot tire emm ! try. the' guests separated, Judge (1.1 if* ford proceeding with his family to Si.- I v annul), v, hence lie expects to return in a few days, to make a longer stay in this city*. How it Wokks. —The American Newspaper Reporter has the matter about correct, in the following : “A. and B. both go to N w York at the same time and buy a similar stock of goods. On returning, A. change' the Advertisement which reads: ‘Will be received in a few days anew assort ment, 1 etc., to ‘received a now and fresh assortment, just from New York,’ etc, which is offered for sale at t e lowest, cash rates.” The advertisement comes out the next day, and in a 0 wu of 15,- 0(10 inhabitants, 10,000 will know of A’s stock of fresh goods before they hear of B’s arrival. In fact, B. not being an advertiser they will be likely to doubt if he really has a fresh stock at all. The consequence is apt to be that A. is off to - New York lor another stock before B. has half unloaded, and the public being already supplied he may have to carry over a part of it. There are very different ways of doing business, but any one who understands advertising would be apt to sny that the results work in about that way. TboPbiladelphiaZealycr, in a thought ful article upon the prevailing epidemic of crime, says: ‘-The mistaken lenity of modern courts and juries, and the ill-judged exercise of the pardoning power, are merciless to society, while tender to criminals. The community has aright to protec tion, both in the nature of things and the compact between the people and their agents, the legislative and execu tive authorities. This compact is vio lated and "government” becomes a mockery and a delusion, when the ban ditti of modern society are favored to the peril of the peaceful and law-abid ingeitizens.” —— Genc-al Duerot, who commanded at Sedan, and at Paris during the siege is said to have recently stated that he considered the Republic a failure; that the only safery of Franoe was iu the restoration of a monarchy or an empire; that site must tight again, and that in his opinion President Theirs would at tempt to prolong his term until his death.
