Should the Planters Use Fertilizers ?
It is difficult to see bow any other than an
affirmative response can be made to this in
qoiry.
The objections to plant stimulants are equal
ly applicable to all descriptions of manures.
Two years ago, the writer burnt up a promis
ing field of corn, by using cotton seed too
freely. And yet this is considered par excA-
lenet, the very best fertilizer for the cereals.
Tti Liberty county also, some seventeen years
since, be hauled out and spread upon the list
orridgp, just beneath the seed, twenty-eight
two-horse wagon loads per acre of well rotted
stable manure, which bad never been exposed
an hour to the weather. The cotton came up
sleek and vigorous, and grow off finely. But
marked the sequel. A drought of ten weeks
deration set in in June, and the plant never
reached a greater altitude than 2$ feet. An
examination of the Lills revealed the fact, that
the manure remained in a perfectly dry, inso
luble state, and had rather injured than bene-
fiited the crop.
If a pumpkin seed was planted on, or by the
side of the barn-yard dung hill, and copious
mins and a dripping season succeeded, the
growth would be like Jonah’s gourd, aDd ‘'some
pumpkins” astonish the natives. But let the
almost vertical sun of this low latitude beam and
heat upon the oreepiag giant, for long weeks,
end its anaconda folds would shrivel up and col
lapse, and “nary" pumpkin will reward the
expectant sower. But wbo doubts the value and
efficacy of good farm-yard manure ?
We lay down the postulate then, that just in
proportion that any given fertilizer abounds in
ammonia, potash, phosphatio elements, or other
plant food, will be the ratio of benefit or injnry
that inures, under certain conditions, to the
growing crop.
Wet seasons prcdace astounding results; pro
tracted drought will blast the over-stimulated
vegetation, and evaporate the turning sap which
gives vitality to its exuberant growth. The
oonelasion then is obvious. Cease to condemn
your guano, which, if it did not act in the man
ner described, would be spurious and valueless,
and learn to apply it to yonr lands judiciously,
both with respect to quality and the character
of yonr soil.
Used in combination with long, or nnrotted
manure as aa absorbent, the effects will be
more permanent, aud the bnmiog principle less
concentrated. It is safe to say that 125 pounds
per acre of any standard preparation, may pro
duce very satisfactory results in ordinary sea
sons, and in the event of dronth will not blight
the crop. Applied in large quantities the plan
ter must fake the risk, which as has been shown
A not greater than with barn-yard manures or
compost.
But w© will reserve for another article our
views as to the quantity employed, and the best
mode of applying commercial manure. The
present object of the writer is to urge the con
tinued use of these plant stimulants.
The country is now cursed with a system of
labor, ignorant, intolerant, and unreliable. The
freedman is a creature of to-day only. lie will
undertake no job where the returns are not in-
atcaianeous. Hence the fences of the country
are rotting down, com cribs in a tottering con
dition, and the farmer has no heart to plan and
execute improvements in the future. We saw
an AUamaha rice planter recently, whose plan
tation was stocked with negro laborers, taking
out from Savannah with him a force of Irish
men to open the ditches, construct trunks, and
prepare the way for the summer work of the
gentlemen oPcoIor.
In Liberty county where the^ soil is alluvial
and generally requires drainage, the negroes,
wbo are masters of the situation, cannot be in
duced- to- open the canals and vents to the
^vamps and creeks, but eke ont a miserable ex-
- tenee upon the worn out, and nut grass in
fested hills and old fields. The bottoms, teem
ing with fertility, are fast relapsing into their
original state.
For similar reasons, experience has shown
that under the system of joint cultivation which
*o generally obtains, the freedman cannot be
depended upon to collect and manufacture ma
nure on the plantation, even when, as is seldom
Uta case, the materials are at hand. Indeed,
how many farms have we seen where the clean
ings of the stable remain from year to year, be
cause Samoo won’t do tbe extra work needful,
to apply the precious substance to the barren
soil.
The only salvation of the country, then, from
sterility, and the constant diminution of agri
cultural products, is to be found in the intelli
gent nso of concentrated commercial manures.
At this important crisis a wise Providence has
revealed the rich and almost inexhaustible de
posits of animal petrifactions,aboundinginphos
phatio matter, in the delta of two of the rivers of
asister State. Avast array of evidence both at
home and abroad has demonstrated the incalcu
lable value of these mineral phosphates for ag-
rionltnral purposes, when dried, crushed and
properly troated with acid and ammonia to ren
der soluble and available their latent virtue.
Already many millions of capital are invested
for this purpose, and healthy and active compe
tition will effectually guarantee the public
against fraudulent adulterations. Tbe struggle
even now begins to assume the form of who
shall furnish the richest compound at the low
est price.
The use of these fertilizers, then, under the
new regime of labor, will prove an urgent and
growing necessity with the planters. Oar up
lands all require manure, rest, and rotation of
erops, to preserve them from running down,
and reducing the proprietors to beggary. This
fact is the more patent from the present ruinous
rates of taxation.
We advise our agricultural friends then, to
post themselves as to the constituent elements
of the sail they cultivate, and after ascertaining
tic peculiar properties and deficiencies, buy
such stimulants as are beat adapted to their
wants.
We propose hereafter to write upon the beat
method of applying these fertilizers, the quan
tity to be used, etc., as derived from personal
experience. Time and space forbid any farther
elaboration of the subject at present.
Poon Texas 1—A special Washington dispatch
to the Baltimore Gazette, of Thursday, says
that Akerman will be appointed United States
District Judge for Texas. We offer our sym
pathy to the people of that unhappy Stats.—
After having been cursed with anoh a Governor
ae Davis, and-such a band of robbers and thugs
as yelp at his heels, it seems almost fiendish to
aond such a malignant as Akerman to enforoe
(he infamous bayonet and handouff law after
the-fashion he has set In South Carolina. Surely
Texas has been selected as a special victim by
the Washington Commune. But what business
had she to go Democratic by 80,000 majority?
The Cohmxttee Undeb the Boas Bill, re
cently passed the Legislature, consists of one
member from the 8enate and two from the
House. Oar Senator, Hon. Thomas J. Sim
mons, is the Senate s representative on the
committee, and its chairman. Messrs. Gar
nett McMillan, cf Habersham, and John J.
Hall, of CpaoD, represent the House. The
committee will commence its sessions in At
lanta on the first, day of March, 1872, and sit
util the first day of May, following.
Collapse of the Reformers.
The civilized and Christian world were de
lighted last summer with the disinterested zeal
displayed by the Grant Radicals in the great
cause of political reform aud honest government
against Tweed and Tammany Hall. The severe,
and nnspaiiug, aud indignant virtue displayed
by these gentlemen in their onslaught upon
Tammany raised the hr pea of mankind of a
speedy return to the Spartan age when public
service was its own reward, and men refused to
take money in payment for official labor. Never
did people clamor so loudly as they for pushing
investigation into every nook where corruption
might lurk—from chimneypot to cellar; nor
so sharp to suspect or so prompt to decounoe
everything resembling whitewashing and con
cealment.
But we are Sony to say these fierce reformers
have suddenly burst their bilers. They are
collapsed. They have become dumb dogs that
winna bark. Tbe United States Senate and
the Radical cauccsses of the Senators over
Trumbull’s resolutions for raising a joint com
mittee to overhaul and expose tbe frauds and
corruptions of tbe national administration have
proved too much for the indignant virtue of
these gentlemen. They will not have the
hungry dogs of impartial and universal investi
gation nosing promiscuously round that sty.
There is a great deal about those particular
premises which they have no desire should see
the light.
Mr. Trumbull wants a joint committee with
full powers to push investigation into all the
charnel houses of corruption. He and others
bring testimony to the most monstrous abases
calling for tbe freest inquiry. But that is pre
cisely what these other Reformers will not
have. They insist only npon a Senate com
mittee with very limited powers and always
under the control of the administration ma
jority. . M|
The Month’s Revenge.
The New York Journal of Commerce says tbo
South is taking philosophical revenge on her
political haters by holding agricultural con
gresses. If many of ber ablest citizens cannot
be allowed tbe privilege of voting aud holding
office, and so contributing to tbe general public
good, they can at least make the men of Wash
ington feel bad by showing tbe tranquility of
disabled Southerners under such circumstances.
Partisans have their Congress at the capital,
where they can wrangle over the division of the
spoils, and plan new ways for reducing the
South to political nonentity; but the people of
that region find their solace in congressess of
quite another and more innocent variety, where
the prizes are for pumpkins and other gigantic
vegetables, and the eloquence of man finds its
loftiest flights m explaining the pattern of a new
worm fence, or the latest thing in churns. For
every political esnvention held at the North,
the South responds, as if by malice prepense,
with a “Fair” or “Exhibition,” and now, to
exasperate Radicalism to an unbearable de
gree, it holds a full blown Agricultural Con
gress. At this gathering nearly all the South
ern States are represented. Even South Caro
lina, harried in a part of her territory by
Federal troops, keeps calm enough to despatch
a number of delegates to Selma, where the
bucolic body meets. For several days, proba
bly, the Agricultural Congress will present
the maddening spectacle of Southerners talking
earnestly over the merits of rival cucumbers,
as if for the express purpose of shoveling coals
of fire on the heads of Radical law-makers at
Washington. The very name—Congress—it is
perceived, must be intended for a satire on the
other concern; the real object being, all the
time, to contrast the coolness and peace of the
one with the heat and fary of the other.
Under such nn enormous provocation, we may
look for the offer of amendments to the Kn-
klux act to make it more severe. Such audacity
must be punished.
Congregational Singing.
We were not a little struck with a set dis
course pronounced npon this snbject by one of
onr pastors on a recent occasion. The argu
ment in behalf of this branch of pnblio wor
ship was very pointed and elaborate. The
speaker fortified his position by quoting many
apposite passages of scripture, and insisted
that the duty was of a positive and binding na
ture. He was expected when entering the pul
pit to give beaten oil to the people, and the
other office bearers of the church likewise, had
their labors and functions - prescribed, which
they eonld not neglect, and be connted guiltless.
So with the department of psalmody. The
praise of God in the great congregation, was
most specifically and emphatically enjoined by
tbe directory of church government, and the
teachings of holy writ. This was not intended
to apply only to the few who usually couducted
this portion of divine worship. He was not op
posed to choirs; on the contrary approved of
them highly as leaders of the sacred music and
essential to proper harmony and unity of exe
cution. But God’s praise could not be dele
gated to others, or made the occasion of artistic
and formal exhibitions of operatic talent, as
was frequently the fact. AU were required to
join in the exercise, and aid in raising those
swelling anthems and joyous songs of thanks
giving which reverberate through the vaulted
arches of heaven and are wafted to the very
throne of a jealous bnt merciful God. He be
lieved. therefore, that general attention should
be directed to this subjeot, and individuals and
congregations ought to learn musio and im
prove themselves in church psalmody.
The writer had the opportunity some months
since, of witnessing a pleasing illustration of
the above reasoning in the choreh of that noted
and eloquent Sootch divine, Dr. Hall, of New
York.
At least one thonsand five hundred souls
thronged the seats, aisles, and galleries, (the
latter several tiers high,) of the spaoions taber
nacle, all hanging with breathless interest npon
the speaker’s solemn utterances.
After the reading of the first hymn, a single
individual, book in hand, asoended the stage
and taking his stand at the right of the [Sinis
ter, raised the tone in a sonorous tone. Tbe
whole congregation joined in, assisted by the
organ, and a mighty volume of sweetest har
mony rising load and clear from the vast as
sembly, went np like the shout of a host to
heaven. The effect was grand and inspiring in
the extreme.
Mnsio is indeed a powerful auxiliary in the
worship of God, purifying the thoughts, and
intensifying the devotions of believers. It
wields a magioal influence also npon the masses,
and we eonld wish that every choreh of *11 de
nominations in the country was blessed with a
cultivated ohoir and singing oongregation.
Thb Question op Meat.—The supply promis
ee to be abundant, and henoe lower prices may
be expected. At Cincinnati for the week end
ing December 18th, the reoeipts of hogs were
67,989, against 49,835 same week last year, and,
the total for the season was 350,287, against
239,474 last year same time, showing an in-
ase of 110,718 head. These are the figures
given by Kennedy, Eckert ds Co. Com is so
plentiful in some sections of the West that it is
being need for fuel.
Fob honest assessments, commend ns to the
“doomed city.” Only one-third of Chicago was
destroyed, yet tbe loss is estimated at $200,-
000,000; while, before tbe fire, the whole taxa
ble property of the city, and the county in which
it is situated, was only estimated at $102,000,-
000.—Ledger.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Capt. Little, a well-known pilot and steam
boat man of Savannah, died on Wednesday.
The residence and moat of. its contents, of
H. H. Parks, tax receiver of Muscogee county,
at Linwood, near Columbus, was burned last

The Chronicle and - Sentinel of Thursday,
says:
Specie Robb key—The Thief Abbested bx
Railway Conductor —On last Tuesday night,
when the down train from Macon to Augusta
reached Culverton, a negro man informed the
conductor, Mr. Thomas Turner, that a heavy
robbery had been perpetrated in Hancock
county that afternoon, and the robber might
get on the train at some of tbe stations, and try
to reach Augusta. He stated that Mr. Wm.
Dickson, who resided a short distance from the
town of Sparta, had been the sufferer, and
that he lost about tnree thonsand dollars.
Some time after this the train reached the de
pot at Warrenton, aud a negro man got on aud
took a seat in the second class car. When the
conductor went to him to collect his fare he
paid it in specie, and stated that he wished to
come to Augusta. This and other ciroumstances,
led the conductor to believe that this passenger
was tbe thief of whom he had heard at Culverton.
He determined to await awhile, however, before
making an arreet, and did wait until tbe train
reached a point between Saw Dust and Dealing,
when he took him in onstody. The negro gave
his name as Bussell Warren, and confessed his
guilt as soon as he was arrested. He was
searched aud two bags containing gold aud sil
ver were found secreted on his person. When
the train reached this city, Mr. Turner tnrned
his prisoner and the money over to the police.
The contents of the bags were connted yester
day afternoon. One contained one hundred
and three dollars and twenty-five cents insilvor,
and thirty-nine dollars in gold coin. The olher
contained thirty-nine dollars in gold—making
in all one hundred and eighty-one dollars and
twenty-five cents in speoie.
The thief will be held to await the action of
Mr. Dickson. He claims to ba from Charleston,
and went to Hancock to visit his wife, who lives
in that county, in the employment of Mr. Dick
son. He says that he was secreted near the
house for some time, waiting an opportunity to
perpetrate the robbery. On Monday, just after
dinner, Mr. Dickson and his wife left the plan
tation m a buggy, and be then saw the chance.
He entered the honse and took the tin box, con
taining tbe money, from a bed room. He made
bis escape undetected, and retired to the woods,
where he opened and rifled the box. After
wards he made bis escape to Warrenton, in
tending to take the train there, and go on to
Charleston.
A good size ohuok of a row oeonrred Wednes
day afternoon, at the Upper Cotton Press at
Savannah, between two or three white men and
over one hundred negroes. It commenced
with a fight between a white man and a negro,
which was taken np by some of the latter’s
friends, one of whom advanced on the watch
man of the yard with a cotton-hook, and was
shot and mortally wounded by the watchman.
We find in the Savannah News of Thursday,
long account of a bloody affair, which hap
pened at Station 8J, in Appling comity, on
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad one day
last week, the parties thereto being Matt
Ashley, of Coffee county, a well-known and
wealthy citizen of that connty, and two
brotho:s named Robert and Bryant Williams,
of Appling county, which resulted in the death
of Robert Williams, and the serious wounding
of bis brother. A fend has existed between
tbe parties for many years. After the shooting,
Ashley jumped into a buggy with the Sheriff
of Coffee county and has not been beard of
ace.
We find the following first rate advertise
ment of the two Conleys in yesterday’s Atlanta
Constitution:
The Conleys.—Georgia has a dynasty of
Conleys now in the imperial chair. Conley,
the father, exercises by the grace of an acci
dent the functions of Governor. He signalizes
his reign by a revolutionary opposition to the
Legislature constitutionally finishing the needed
legislation of the State. He also seeks to brand
the stigma of repudiation upon a mere act of
inquiry into the condition of our distressed
finances.
Conley, the sob, is a United States Commis
sioner, and uses bis authority to over-ride the
sacred writ of habeas corpus, and imprison in
nocent men without bail in ignominious con
finement. Having drawn from the Treasury
$11,500 for a pamplet, that valuable work the
“Analysis of the Georgia Constitution,” costing
at liberal estimate a thousand dollars, and worth
nothing, be has become emboldened to extend
his legal labors to the role of prosecution.
Conley the 1st inaugurates a warfare against
the Legislature through the offensive agency of
the State temples of CloacincL
Conley the 2d rearrests discharged freemen
and hold them in the toombs to await the testi
mony of alleged hog thieves and negro equal
izers.
Verily, the depths are being sounded. Geor

We elip this item from, the Columbus En
quirer, of Friday:
Goneebence Anecdotes.—While the question
of the insanity of a member of the Conference
was yesterday being considered, one pieaoher
stated the case was clearly not one of mental
nnsonndness, as the accused could at any time
preach an hour and a half to two hours. The
Bishop shook his head and remarked, “That’s
a bad symptom.” We think so too.
A preacher from one of the lower counties
asked to be dismissed from the Conference, on
tbe ground that his horse had died and he was
not able to wade through his circuit. The rea-
Rons for withdrawal were deemed good and suf
ficient.

The fine for driving a dray too fast through

Judge Alexander in thb Huntbb Case.—The
Thomasville Enterprise offers tbe following ex-
traordinay argument in behalf of the action of
Judge Alexander.in commuting the sentence of
Hunter from death to imprisonment for life,
after the Supreme Court had refused anew trial
and the Governor a pardon. We agree with the
Savannah Republican that if there be merit in
the plea, better burn np the law books at onoe :
and abolish Legislatures, and swear all Judges
tc decide all cases according to “conscience!”
Says the Enterprise:
Judge Alexander is known to be a eonRcietioua
Christian gentleman, a lawyer of fair ability and
a Judge of firmness and dignity. Whatever
may be the feeling of the. citizens of Brooks
against him, with all due deference to their
opinions, we venture to say that if ho erred in
the case of Hunter, he erred on the side of con
science. Conscience has something to do with
Christian men, and the fiat has gone forth as
irrevocable as creation itself 1 thou shalt not kill,”
and what creatnre or corporation shall presume
to annul the law of God ? We admit that if men
accept the positions of Judge they are bound by
the laws of men to pronounce the sentence of
death upon the criminals of that law; nor do
we mean to imply that Judge Alexander was
governed in ibis’ way by any considerations of
tho Divine injunction, for we know nothing
whatever of his opinions on tbe case ; bnt we
merely design, in jnstification of onr remarks,
to bint at the invincible strength of the dtfei.ee
that may be set up in favor of all who shrink
from executing the highest penalties of our
criminal laws.

We clip the following items from the Atlanta
Sun, of yesterday:
Isoendiary Wobk.—A gin house belonging to
Obediah Thompson, near Bolton Station, on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was set on
fire about 9 o’clock on Thursday night The
building was fired in three places. In tbe build
ing were 125 bushels of peas, 500 bushels cot
ton Bced, a small lot of wheat and some farming
utensils, belonging to Mr. Thompson; also,
eight thousand pounds seed cotton, belonging
to Mr. J; W. Spink, son-in-law of Mr. Thomp
son. Nothing was saved from tbe building.
The loss by the fire ageregates some $1200 or
$1600.
Probable Attempt at Assassination.—Yes
terday, immediately after the Senate adjourned,
four buck negroes approached the door of the
Senate Chamber and inquired for Capt. Whit.
Anderson, the door-keeper. Capt. Anderson
soon appeared and asked their business. They,
in a very insulting manner, said they had come
to demand an explanation and satisfaction for
his conduct at the polls of the Third Ward on
the day of the election. The Captain, to avoid
an altercation with them, said he had no ex
planation tc make, and quietly admonished
them to leave. At this moment one of the
party stepped back, and placing himself in a
threatening and defiant attitude, cursed Capt.
Anderson, and said if he would step down stairs
he would very soon have satisfaction. The
Captain stepped back into the Chamber to get
something-to defend himself. When he re
turned he could just discern the tops of their
heads retreating down tho Capitol steps “double-
quiok.” He followed them down stairs, but
when he reached the door they wero far down
the street, running for life.
Sonth Georgia Conference.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger. ]
The annual session of this ecclesiastical body
is now being held in this city. The represen
tation is unusually large, and from the reports
of various sections, tho past year has been ono
of great aotivity and wonderful snocess to the
obnreh.
Bishop WightmSn, of Sonth Carolina, is in
the chair, and dispatches business with an
energy and smoothness rarely excelled. It was
remarked by many members of the Conference
that they had not witnessed such progress in the
regular business of the session as was made on
yesterday, in one day’s lime.
Rev. J. Blakeley Smith, of Macon, was ap
pointed to his old post, as Secretary, with
Revs. H. D. Moore, 8. D. demon and' I. H.
Hopkins, as assistants.
There were about eighty members answered
on roll call,' and many more came in on tbe
noon train.
Several documents from tho Nashville Pub
lishing House were read, showing that estab
lishment in a prosperous condition. ±
Dr. E. H. Myers, the newly eleoted Presi
dent of the Wesleyan Female College, of your
city, resigned his position as Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Orphan Home, and
the Rev. J. W. Hinton was elected to fill his
place. erf;
After the variouscommittees were announced
the Bishop entered upon the examination of the
character of Elders. Ninety-one names wero
called and their characters passed. Rev. James
Jones, of Macon, was retired from the active
list, and granted a superannuated relation. The
Bishop remarked that it wsb a sourco of gTeat
gratification to see that there were no complaints
made against a single one out of so large a num
ber. , “
There have been only two deaths among the
membership of the Conference—the lamented
Dr. J. M. Bonnell, aud Rev. J. S. Ford, both
of Macon.
Among the visitors are Dr. L- Rosser, of Vir
ginia, Dr. A. G. Haygood, Sunday School Se
cretary, of Naahvi'le, and Dr. Jesse Boring, At
lanta.
Tbe superannuated list of preachers, whioh is
comprised of the worn out men who by disease
aud the infirmities -of age have been disabled
from active labor, and are placed on the retired
list and supported by voluntary contribution
from the people. Three members of the list
were plaoed on the effective roll and will be
given regular work.
The following applicants were received into
the Conference—R. M. Lockwood, George C.
Thompson, Wm. J. Green, John Domingas, J.
F. Mixon, B S. Key. LeReye.
Columbus, Deoember 14,1871.
.The remainder of yesterday was taken np
with tbe examination of oharaoter of the under
graduates and their eleotion to Deacon and
Elder’s orders. Three were admitted into
membership, and before their admission, Bishop
Wightman made a most impressive charge—
eloquent and clear. One of the most impor
tant duties of a Methodist minister is to resign
his own will as to the ohoioe of his appoint
ment. As the organization itself is a volunta
ry association bound together in the bonds of a
common dependency, the congregation Bur-
renders their right to choose their own pastor,
and the preacher to choose his own congrega
tion. Another, that he must go wherever ho is
How Ho Was Cornered.
We see that Senator Reuben Jones, from the
Ninth Diatriot, put Brook, Radical, (and “light
ning calculator") in a very dose corner daring
tbo debate in tbe Senate on the report of the
Committee on the State of the Republic. Brock
said he never -wasted to see Georgia under
military rule again—that he longed to see the
day when peace and prosperity would reign all
over the State. Senator Jones got ont of pa
tience wiih his whining hypocrisy, and imme
diately asked him if he (Brook) had not signed
an address to the “Republicans of Georgia” in
which the Legislature was denounced as an il
legal and revolutionary body, and the declara
tion made tj^at Republicans could not have pro
tection at the polls—whioh document had been
forwarded to Washington, and the plain pur
pose of which was to invite military interfer
ence by the Federal Government? This ques
tion pnt Brock in a regular horse sweat, and
made him torn several different oolors all at
once, bnt after a fit of the dry grins he made
answer that he had signed such a document,
bnt that he did not know what was in it at the
time of signing!
As a “lightning calculator,” and where his
pocket is oonoerned, Brook is a grand sucoess,
but we don’t know a more decided failure as an
answerer of a plain question. As old John Go-
vode used to say, he is a “frod,” in that line.
Official Politeness.
That suavity whioh should mark the inter
course between the co-ordinate deportments of
government has been put to some rude shocks
by Uouley, and the last one of them is set forth:
The committee charged with communicating
the action of tbe General Assembly in relation
to adjournment to the acting Governor,reported
that they had performed tbeir duty, and had
been informed by Hon. Benjamin Conley that
he did not reoognize the fact that there was any
General Assembly in session, bnt that if he
did he probably would have something to com-
munioate.
That is decidedly corl, to come from a man
who has positively no legal right at all to the
Executive chair he occupies. What Mr. Conley
might have had to commnnioate to the General
Assembly, supposing be bad not struck their
flag, stopped their pay and disowned them alto
gether, we suppose may have been Bullock’s
confession of eight pages, that all the bonds be
bad been issuing were illegal or fraudulent.
Be that as it may, Conley was not polite, and,
indeed, it is said he has been in a chronic fret
all the session. He is ont of temper, generally,
and will get worse, we fear, before he begins to
mend.
Light Breaking In on the Bonds—Bnl-
lock Heard from at Last.
The bond inquiring bill is working. The in
formation is coming in. Bullock was in Albion
the first of this month. He writes Mr. Conley
about some of his issues. He charges that our
over issues of bonds were made in Gov. Craw
ford’s term, twenty years ago.
He uses tbe following paragraphs, rather re
markable ones, it must be confessed;
‘The only bonds of the State marketable and
saleable, and for which the State is liable, issued
during my administration, are tbe bonds pre
pared and executed by Gov. Jenkins, the quar
terly coupon gold bonds, tbe semi-annual gold
bonds given in exchange to the Brunswick and
Albany Railroad.
“If the latter the State shonld only recognize
them as binding when the road is complete and
in operation to Cuthbert; the same is true as
to the indorsement given to that road.”
He further says that only one issue of the
Cartersville and Van Wort Railroad bonds are
legd.
He observes a discreet silence about his ever
issuing bonds, and simply goes back on them
by saying they are no account.
The information given shows that $600,000
of currency bond? weie issued in 1868, and
$2,000,000 in 1870, for temporary use. Of the
$000,000, $332,000 have been returned cancelled,
and $268,000 substituted for tbe school fund.
Of the $2,000,000 issue, $500 are cancelled in
tbe Treasury, and the rest are in the following
hands, where they have no business to be :
Clews & Co., New York $800,000
J. Boorman JohnsoD, New York 120,000
Fulton Bank, of Brooklyn 50,000
Russell Sage, New Fork 530,000
Bullock had engraved $4,000,000 gold bonds
in 1870 Of those $3,000,009 wero issued and
$1,000,000 are in the Executive office unissued.
The $3,000,000 are in the following hands:
Henry Clews & Co.. $1,750,000
Russel Sage... 500,000
Fourth National Bank 300,000
A. L. Whiton, New York 100,000
H. I. Kimball 250,000
J. H. James. 1 100,000
Bullock took $614,500 of Gov. Jenkins’ issue.
Of these $175,000 were returned to the State
Treasurer, $175,OCO exchanged for old bonds,
and $261,000 sold aud paid in interest on State
bonds.
Bollock issued $880,000 of lithographed gold
State bonds of the second indorsement of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, and after
wards $1,880,000 of engraved bonds to be sub
stituted for tbe litographed bonds. Of the
$880,000 Clews & Co. sent back $598,000 some
time back, and reported tbe other day that they
bad bad tbe other $282,000 unknowingly in their
office, which their clerk failed to send as in
structed.
These are the facts so far obtained. We have
not space to comment. We Bhall say something

Another Hint to Mb. Vance.—The demo
cratic Senators have united in a letter to Sena
tor elect Vance, of Notth Carolina, asking him
to withdraw his claims on the ground that there
is no probability that he rrill be admitted, and
therefore be ought to give the North Carolina
Legis 1 ature an opportunity to send a man in his
place who will be admitted.
We find this paragraph in a special Washing
ton dispatch to the Baltimore Son, of Thurs
day, and for fear the editor of the Columbus
Sun may not see it in his Baltimore namesake,
we reprint it for his special consideration. It
seems the representatives of the Democratic
party in the Senate do not agree with our Co
lumbus cotemporary as to the wisdom of being
“forever unrepresented,” eto. They are in a po
sition to know bow much good one vote and one
voice can do thtm and the country, and being
practioal men, with no torn for theatricals,
they want that assistance if it be possible to get
it They also knots that they can never get
it through Gov. Vanoe, and therefore, like hon
est men, they tell him so. There can be no
other course for him to pursue now, as a pat
riot, than to promptly return bis credentials to
the Legislature aud allow that body to send
somebody to Washington who can represent
North Carolina inside the Senate chamber.
Suspension or the Habeas Corpus in Floexdj .
The New York Herald of Tuesday, has the fol
lowing special from Washington:
The President has determined to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus in Jackson connty,
Florida, and bis proclamation to that effect is
expected to-morrow after the Cabinet adjourns.
This determination has been pending for some
time, but its execution has been delayed by the
assembling of Congress and the preparation of
the message. Jackson oounty has about four
teen thousand inhabitants, and rejoices in a
record of one hundred and seventy-nine un
punished murders since Andrew Johnson an
nounced that peace and good order reigned in
all the borders of the United States. Repre
sentative Horace Maynard, Chairman of the
sub-Ku-klux Committee, to whioh Florida was
assigned fair investigation, submitted his re
port to Senator Soott two weeks ago, and the
Utter laid it before the President, with the re
mark that it offered strong grounds for Execu
tive action than waa ever presented in Sooth
fhwJiwa. The President thinks so too, and
