How TO DISCOURAUE DUELlNG.—Civ
ilixation, says the Clrcago Tribune, has
yet some work before it in this country,
when two men can deliberately, in
presence of witnesses, and under the
delusion that tncy arc doing an hono
rable act, stand at ten paces apart and
shoot each other to death. This is
what the two young Virginians did who
fought a duel near Richmond, a short
while since, tho cause of which was a
difference between them ooncarning
somo young lady. It was thought the
experiences of the war had blotted out
with blood the falso notion of chivalry
that formerly prevailed South of Mason
and Dixou’a line. If the war had failed
in any mannor to eradicate those ideas,
it was thought that intimate relations
with the carpet-baggers would havo
completed the work. As both these
ageneies seemed to have failed to break
down the duello as an institution, it is
time that the law should step in and
punish the survivors, whether principals
or seconds, in a manner that will dis
courage dueling in tho future.
Tiik Modocs Before the War.—
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin pub
lishes a letter from Mr. Elijah Steele,a
lawyer in Yrcka, in which tho Modocs
are partially described as they were
before the outbreak of the late f roublos.
Twenty-throe years ago they were a
numorous and powerful tribe, and those
who are left are not ronegades. They
were not, as has been asserted, in tho
habit of lounging about Yreka, but
went thither twice a year to trade furs
and goose feathers for supplios of pro
visions and clothing, and thus provided
themselves well. Their credit was good
with the merchants of Yreka, who trus
ted them from fall to spring. They
were however, always requested to
camp out of town. Captain Jack, who
was always their spokesman, never
drank any liquor, and invariably pun
ished any of the tribe for any wrong
doing, whether they were drunk or
Bober. They are according to Mr.
Steele, a superior race of Indians in
intellect and physical devclopemcut,
and they aro resolved to die rather
than yield. In Captain Jack’s own
words: To die by bullets does not hurt
inaah; starve to death on reservation
hart a heap.
How to Setllb the Indian Ques
tion. —The trouble that we have had
with the Modoos brings to mind a plan
for settling the Indian question, which
a frontiersman once imparted : “If I
wm the Gover’ment,” said he, “I’d buy
lots of barrels of whisky, and lots o’ big
knives, and I’d put ’em out somewhat
in the West, an’ invito every devlish
redskin in the hull land to what they
call a oonf rence. After they’d got thar
I’d knock in the heads o’ the barrels,
and scatter tho knives all round loose,
so they’d be handy. Then I’d go away
and leave the lujuna to themselves. Of
course they’d taket he whiskey and the
knives, and beforesuudown thar wouldu’t
be more than one redskin left, and then
I’d go and knock his brains out afore
he coull do any more damage. That,
air’s, the only reel way to settle the In
jun question. I’ve been among ’em, an’
I know. Plenty of whiskey an’ long
knives ’ll fix ’em out, an’ nothing else
will.”
Washington, May 28.—A letter
from a prominent English journalist to
a friend in this city, states that the re
cent remarkable article in the Edinburgh
Review, upon Cooke’s life of General!
Lee, was written by Colonel Chesney,
of the British army, to the gentleman
of the same name who is distinguished
as the author of the “Battle of Dorking”
in Blackwood’s Magazine. The same
letter says that Gen. CushiDg’s attack
on Lord Cockburn fell quite flat on the
English side of the Atlantic. The pros

THE BONDS.
LETTER FROM JOHN K. WART.
Tho boud question comes to the front
again. Tho Atlanta Constitution pub
lishes the following letter from John
E. Ward, of Now York, to I)r. West
moreland, of Atlanta:
No. 01 Wall StrIET, )
New York, May 23, 1873. $
My Dear Sir: My delay in reply
ing to your kiud noto of April 2d has
not arisen from of interest in
its subject matter.
You have very correctly stated that
“the bond question now before the peo
ple of Georgia is environed with doubts
and difficulties which demand wide ex
perienceand great deliberation to solve.’
Although my contribution may be but
a mite, if that can bo of any service to
my native State it will bo most cheer
fully made.
Tho probiein to bo solved is to ascer
tain the “true indebtedness of tho
State.” No one questions tho ability
of Georgia to meet that indebtedness
whatever it may b°, and her h'story
illustrates tho willingness of her people
at any and every cost to meet her just
obligations. The cry of “repudiation”
should terrors for a State that
has been tfue to every compact savo
when compelled by a force she could
not control. Nor should the clamor of
“ruined credit” in any manner affect
her legislation. That her credit has
been temporarily affected is undoubted
ly true; but when we remember the
constant and earnest efforts which have
been made to depreciate and destroy it,
and thus force her iuto an assumption
of debts never acknowledged by her,
the surprise is that so little has been
effected. The money changers of Wall
street and of Europe are too wise not
to understand and appreciate the true
value of securities when offered to them;
they arc too selfish to refuse long the
purchase of such securities for the bene
fit of their neighbors at a loss to them
selves. Any combination for this pur
pose must be very short-loved, exposed
as it is to the constant temptations of
self-interest to terminate it. Georgia
will, I am sure, be governed by a much
higher motive than some of the holders
of these bonds Lave preseuted to her
for the purpose of extorting payment.
She has a right to ask that every legal
defence’ which could liavo been avail
able to a private person should bo used
iu her behalf. As she cannot bo sued
before the courts, her honor requires
that she should bo strictly scrupulous
not to refuse tho payment of any obli
gation which would be recoguized and
euforced between individuals in a court
of law or equity. It seems to mo that
by the application of a few plain and
acknowledged principles of law to tho
facts of this case, Georgia may ascer
tain what, if any, portion of those bonds
Ought to be paid.
That most of thorn woro illegally
issued, that almost all of them were
fraudulently put is circulation, must be
conceded by every fair-minded mau
who has given any at-entiou to tho
evidence. It is alleged that there are
of these bonds two classos of holders :
First. Parties who have'received them
with a full knowledge of all the facts
connected witli their illegal issue; and,
second, those who hold them for a full
and valuable consideration without no
tice. For tho first class of holders, no
plausible argument can be offered, and
the State should carefully scrutinize
all propositions offered for settlement
to sec that no “compromise” confound
ing the just with tho unjust, any pay
ment whatever is made to that class of
meu who have aided and abetted her
pseudo rulers in this effort to pillage
and plunder her. More caro is requir
ed iu examining tho pretensions of
those who claim to bo purchasers with
out notice, and for a full and valuable
consideration. There should be a com
bination of the elements of full and
valuable consideration and of the “want
of notice;” and by the “want of notice”
I mean not only the absence of any
positive notice of the fraud, but that
there should have been nothing in the
nature of the securities taken which
eould have excited tho suspicions of a
reasonable man. Avery large, I think
much the largest portion of these bonds
are what are known as “endorsed — i. e.,
they are bonds of different railroads
that were to have been built, endorsed
by tho State. Assuming that the par
ties holding these bonds could not be
required to understand tho constitution
and the laws of the State, in direct vio
lation of which most of thorn were is
sued, can it be credited for a moment
that they were taken without any in;
quiryas to the condition of their prin
cipal or whether it had any existence
at all or not? Tho holders of theso
bonds claim that they hold thorn either
for supplies furnished for the building
of the roads in the nature of iron, etc.,
or for cash advanced to build the roads
or as bona fide purchasers Does any
man in Wall street or Europo furnish
iron or supplies to build a railroad
without ascertaining at least something
ns to its existence and locality, the
number of miles constructed, oto. ?
Docs any banker in Europe or America
advance money upon a railroad security
indorsed or uniudorsed by a State with
out some inquiry by himself or his
agents as to the condition of tho road,
the security of which he is taking ? If
he docs he is guilty of such carelessness
as to deprivo him of all right against
an indorser whose indorsement has been
fraudulently obtained. Vigilantibu t non
d-ormientibus jura snbveniunt. Tho pay
ment of an indorsement fraudulently ob
tained canuot be claimed by one who
had the means of ascertaining the fraud
and failed to do so only through his
own gross or wilful negligence.
In relation to the bonds in which the
Stuto is principal and not indorser, if
they aro signed and tested by the pro
per officials of the State, it may well be
that some of them are in the hands of
bona fide holders without either actual
or constructive notice, because those
aro formal acknowledgments of an in
debtedness on the part of tho State to
tho bearer thereof, without anything on
their face to excite the suspicions of a
reasonable man. Evon here, however,
the question would still remain, did the
holder give or pay for them a valuablo
and adequato consideration ? An ad
mitted badge of fraud is the obtaining
securities or goods for a consideration
grossly inadequate to tlioir value. At
the time that these bonds were put in
circulation, the credit of the State of
Georgia was better than that of any
other Southern State—so good that her
bonds should almost have commanded
par. If it shall be ascertained that if
any of the holders of these bonds have
paid for them or advanced ripon them
sums of money, entirely inadequate to
the amount of bonds which they hold,
it would taint the transaction with fraud
and justify the State in refusing to pay
them. Tho burthen of pro ofisj think,
upon the holders of these bonds to show
that they have paid for them a full and
valuable consideration. My opinion is
that tho State should give them an op
portunity of proving this, how or in
what manner the wisdom of the Ligis
lature can determine. Upon tho pay
ment to every holder who can furnish
such proof, and only to those, of tho
principal and interest of their debt, tho
State will have discharged every obli
gation demanded by the most rigid rule
of law or the most sensitive honor.
Very truly, your friend,
John E. Ward.
To Dr. W. F. Westmoreland, Atlan
ta, Ga.
ls the Neouo Race Becoming Ex
tinct ?—A gentleman, whom casual
circumstances induced to make some
calculations on the subject, informs us
that mortality among the negroes in
this vicinity,*as compared with that of
the white population, is disproportionate
as to awaken some interesting physio
logical speculations. Since the colored
people established a grave yard of thoir
own, it has been rapidly filling up, aud
it is evident that the freedom, which
so-called philanthropists in the North
invested with so many charms for negro
auditors, is, to say the least of it, prov
ing fatal to the poor creatures upon
whom it was so rashly conferred. No
cpidomic—no prevaling disease fs the
cause of this mortality—it appears to
result from physical retrogression alone,
superinduced, no doubt, by change of
habits, want of former comforts, and
utter disregard of those laws of health,
which white masters invariably enforced
among their slaves. It appears, from
what may be oalled a pretty correct
estimate, that ten negroes are dying to
one white person, which fact of itself is
calculated to arouse the inquiry : “Is
not tho race gradually becoming ex
tinct?”—Fayetteville ( Term.) F.vprcss.
The bloom of youth will fade away,
the brightness of tho eye will grow dim
with age, but a miserable Corn will
not pass away.
How Kellogg Proposes to Murder the
Citizens of Louisiana—Blood and
Extermination.
A Now Orleans Herald reporter
waited upon Mr. Kellogg and asked
him what he intended to do in the fu
ture, when quoth the King :
“I am going to uso force , sir, and
show the pooplc of this country what I
can do. in the first p’-ice, I aiu
going to orgattizo, and mu now organ
izing, a company of one hundred men,
armed with rifles, and
splendidly equipped. These I will send
into the lied river country as soon as
possible, and kill the last d—d tnau
that opposes my government,”
llcportor—But, Mr. Kellogg, how
can you do that ?
Mr. Kellogg—l will show them how
[ can do it. I have got an appropria
tion of one hundred thousand dollars to
back me, and tho very merchants who
are on your side purchase my warrants
for cash. You bettor believe they do,
because they make mouey out of it.
Reporter—Well, Mr. Kellogg, if you
have so much money, why do you fix
up jobs to obtain possession of it from
the Treasurer ?
Mr. Kellogg (excitedly)—l dou’t do
it, I don’t. And listeu : Do you go and
tell those friends of your’s iu Graut par
ish, and anywhere else, that oppose me,
t' at I won’t stand it; and if they con
tinue their tax resisting and riots, I
will make them leave the country. I
know what sort of men there are in the
Red river country, and in a few weeks
will have a boat armed, and hang every
man I find with a shot-gun aud revolver,
and clean them out. By G—d, I will—
mark me !
Reporter—But, Mr. Kellogg, dou’t
• ou know that the gentlemen under
Sheriff Nash were a legal posse, and
were suppressing a riot; and, besides,
there were only 125 men to 250 ne
groes, and did you suppose they would
quietly submit while your men were en
gaged in the oeeupation of cutting
throats ?
Mr. Kellogg—By G—d, sir, they
would run the last one of them. They
can’t shoot ata decent white uuu—only
at a negro.
Reporter—Mr. Kellogg, if you were
ever in the Federal army and met any
Louisiana troops in line of battle you
know very v\pll which way they ran.
Dou't you suppose the e same men are
up’there now ?
Mr. Kellogg—Yes, but they would
run. My moil are all Northern soldiers,
and they will fight, and they will shoot
and kill the last otto of you Red river
tax resisting cut-throats. In two weeks
you will see.
SPREAD OF THE MANIA.
Wo have almost despaired of South
western and Middle Georgia on tho
provision question, bit we did hope
that North Georgia would not swing
from her safe anchorage of plenty of
corn and wheat, with cotton us an inci
dent only, in her agricultural business.
But it seems that the cotton mania has
seized that people, also. They are just
as crazy as the folks drw.t bore, and a
disastrous season this year will land
them just where the latter are—at tho
foot of the ladder and with a.heavy
load of debt as an accompanimeut to
their re-ascentiou.
The Cartersville Standard Sf depress
says a ride through the rich Etowah
Valley showed onjy about fifteen acres
in wAieat, and a woful diminution in
tho c3rn area; but cotton to the right,
cotton to the left, cotton everywhere
and all around. What monstrous foliy !
It seems that the farmers of Georgia
have just made up their mind to sntkc
everything ou this one crop, and estab
lish perpetually their craneries in
the West. Of course—as they very
often reply to impertinent newspaper
suggestions—they know thcro business
best, but can they point to a similar
state of affairs anywhere else under the
sun ? Do tho farmers of Europe, or
any other country, put all their eggs in
one frail basket aftor this fashion?
Give a fatfeire of the cotton crop this
seasou in upper Georgia, with short
wheat and corn crops, where in the name
of common sense is the money to come
from to pay their heavy bills for fertil
izers and keep tho pot a boiling until
they can make another crop Sf

An Indian Ag&iit PI otographel
*
A congressman by the name of Shiu
bono or Shanks thus photographs to life
an Indian Claim Agmit. It is nearly a
life size picture. Shanks must have
been ono in time himself:
.“An Indian claim agent is unlike
most other people. He is generally
bankrupt in morals, religiou, and poli
ties. He will muke unconscionable de
mands for tho most imaginary services;
will make any kind ot representation
to tho Indians against the character of
his own people and Government that in
his judgement will overreach hisclients;
will magnify his own importance and
. traduce others; will impudently claim
an exclusive knowledge of public re
cords that are really known to every
one; will threaten others in order to
carry his point; will accept pay on
both sides of his case, and the last and
best pay is the best servod. lie will
buy or sell, corrupt or bo corrupted,
which ever promises the most money to
him. lie will attaok any other of the
same class of operatives if not permit
ted to share in the spoils. He will
marry a squaw and become an Indian
to secure an influence among them, and
will abandon his victim and children if
necessary for grip, lie will abandon
American citizenship for that of a band
of Indians, solely to divide their prop
erty with them. In short, if there is
anything an Indian agent will not do
it ‘is that he will not treat his clients,
the Indians, honestly.”
How SIIOUI.D JuHYMEN B PAID ?
Judge Strozier, of the Albany Circuit )
answered this question as follows at the
last session of Court:
“The taxes of the State are raised
for revenue, and the idea of taxing the
people for jury purposes, etc., is an in
novation upon former usage and is an
expense to the county by taxation which
I do not think legitimate, and as a sub
stitute upon tho principal of right and
just ice the parties who use juries should
bo compelled to pay them and .not be
charged to the public, who have no in
terest in the civil matters of issue be
tween the parties. Parties who use the
county officers, such as clerk-: and tiicr
iff-t. and who require extra service of
those officers other than their regular
duties, ahd for which no compensation
is allowed, should be tax'd with the
cost of such exfri services, and not the
public taxed who have no interest in the
matter. This is justice.”

Grand Jury Presentments.
MAY TERM, 1873.
BURKE SUPE’R COURT.
We,the Grand Jurors, sworn for the May
Term, 1873, of Burke Sapericr Court, do
hereby make the following
PKKSKNTMKNTH!
By appropriate committees, we have ex
amined into the atlUirs of the county. We
have examined the Jail, and find that it
needs a general overhauling, it being in an
unsafe condition. Wa recommend that the
leaks in the Court, Houi and Clerk’s office
be at ouca attended to ; the Coutt House,
we are glad to see, is now in good con
dition, except the leaks, and we recommend!
that the Slieritf will not allow it to be used,
for any purpose, in which it will he abused;
we find that the Records in the Ordinary a
and Clerk's offices, are all kept in neat aud
good style, and the tiles of office papers are
properly placed; we would respectfully
call attention to the Record of bonds fur
parties licensed to sell spirituous liquors ;
wo find the hoods of parties licensed to,
sell, in severnl instances, with only the
names of the licensed parties signed to it,
and several with minors and other irrespon
sible bon Ismail; we lind the county finan
ces to bo in a very complicated condition.
The tax digest for 1872,f0r county purpose*
calls for $21,954,21
Tax Collector paid Trease
lrr, $12,800-
Tax Collector p’d Rover. 896.
Am’ts cart ’d for and. $12,090 $21.954,2d
Amount of | roperty Re
lieved by Ordinary $12,880
Tax ou the same, 381,40
Balance due the county
by Tax Collector $8,876,84
We have found from Examination of
Judge 11. H. Perry’s report, that the county
has sustained a loss of $174,53, bv'errors
made by the former Tax Receiver, and we
recommend that the County Attorney or
proper autlu ritv, proceed to collect tho
same out of his bond. We have examined
the Coumy Trasure r ’s books and find
them neatly kept, and amounts correctly
added up, and books correctly balanced, as
far as it was in our power to ascertain. ll©
reports the finances as follows :
Ree and from all sources, $13,358,15
P’d out as pr books \& 11 13,488,6 3
Bal. due County Treas’er, 80,48
We further find from examination that
the present indebtedness is ns follows,
Registered Bonds, $20.000,01'
“ Bridge Claims, 3,500,00
“ Jail Claims, • 500.0n
Other Regist’d Claims.- 2,000,00
Total liidcbterßiess $26,000,0 l
To meet this indeMness we recommend
that the proper authorities, levy a tax of
one liu .dred per cent, on the state tax,
which is as much as the law will sustain,and
that those ere liters, who pieter it, will
maintain ns the Ordinary or proper author
ity to levy a 1 iittoual tax to pay off their
claims.
We have advised with the present Tax
Receiver, and rj-jotiim mr that lv take oo
return for land, at less linn five dollars per
acre for all oak and hickory, four dollars
for mixed, and three dollars for pine lands.
If all the ciii -.en* of the e u i’y will fur this
year acquiesce in t 1 is recomnn n lation, we
believe the incemi m taxes this year will
he about ten thousand dollars. Amlif the
judgment debts are paid as above, recom
mended, the county will get nearly, if n >t
altogether out of debt.
We recommend that the law in regard to
the regulating of Weights am Measures, he
enforced by the proper authority of the
county. We find that the law in regard t>
the establishment of a County Court for
this county, as it now stands, will not
prove beneficial to us.
In regard to roads and bridges, we have
to report loads in had condition in the fol
lowing districts of which the names below
mentioned are Commissioners,
60th and 62i and District —Wesley Jones, U
W Banks, and G A Ward

across Brier creek.at Farmer’s bridge
70th—F W Godbee, R H Cates, J N Ap

74th—J M McCullers, H IV Jones, and R
II Burton
The Magistrates of the 60th, and 62d,
615t,63d, 64th, and 71st dis’ts, have handed
in their books for our inspection, and have
been found to have been kept in a correct
manner.
Tho Magistrates from the remaining dis
tricts have failed to bring up their books
as the law requires. We find that W J &
R A Ilatoher, have paid their license fee
for retailing spiritious liquors, tu> twenty’
five dollars to the Ordinary, and the county
has not received the credit for tho same. —-
We respectfully suggest that he be
to pay over the same to the Treasurer at
once, and receive the censue of this
body, for not having done so before. We rev
commend thit the Clerk and Sheriff be.
paid the sum of live dollars each, per day,
for extra compensation, and ihat their deyr
uties, and baliffs of the Court, be paid two
dollars each, perday. We return our thanks
to His Honor Judge Wm Gibson, for his
usual courtesy extended to our body; And
