MACON, MAY S. i87S.
Col. Hardeman for Goremor.
The prospects of our talented towns
man continue to brighten daily. His
eminent services to the party in its dark
est days of adversity, his ripe experience
as a legislator, his big-hearted interest
in behalf of agriculture and education
his brilliant eloquonca and genial
manners, bis malignant persecution
by Farrow, in Bhort his superior claims
upon the people of bis native State,
are fast commanding that attention and
consideration to which they are justly
entitled.
Tn saying that Speaker Hardeman
ought to be our nest Governor, we mean
no disparagement to General Colquitt
and other distinguished gentlemen who
aspire to the same exalted position. By
no means. Bat they can well and grace-
Tally stand aside and hide their dsy;
nay, even units in doing honor to one who
b«« spared neither time, laborer expense
in the defense of the dearest interests of
the Commonwealth.
If General Colquitt lives, it will be a
labor of lovo with tho writer to aid in
elevating him to the executive chair;
and so also would wo delight to honor
several other worthy names now mention
ed in connection with that high ofHco.
But let our veteran friend have that
precedence his experience, age and an
selfish devotion to country, challenge at
the hands of a grateful people.
From numerous private sources, as
well as personal observation, we are
pleased to say that Col. Hardeman is
steadily gaining ground in all portions
of the State, and his chances of a nomi
nation are excellent. Jast, discreet, hon
orable and liberal in his demeanor to all,
few can resist the magnetism of his pres
ence, and that splendid eloquence which
carries everything before it.
The Bainbridge Democrat, a sterling
and representative sheet in Southern
Georgia, thns declares in his favor:
From this day until tho convention
shall have spoken, we shall urge the
nomination of the gallant Georgian
whose name heads thi3 article, for the
Governorship. We shall advocate him
zealously but fairly, and in which advo
cacywewillbe careful to disparage the
chances of no other aspirant in the field.
We take this position because we know
Colonel Hardeman to be a man of great
ability, of soundest honesty and strictest
integrity. His devotion to the State of
Georgia and to the South is known
throughout the land. For a long time
Congress refused to remove his political
disabilities because—we know of no
other reason—he held snch a high place
in the affections of the Southern people.
Col. Hardeman has held many posi
tions of honor and importance in Georgia,
in allot which he has given the most
perfect satisfaction. After his disabilities
were removed he was forthwith elected a
member of the Legislature from the
county of Bibb, and upon the assembling
of that boay he was elected to the Speak
ership of tho House, which office he ad
ministered with most distinguished abil
ity.
In every political campaign since the
war, the eloquence of Thomas Hardeman
baa been heard from the mountains to the
seaboard,and from one confine of the State
to another, upholding the cause of Democ
racy and the South, and nerving our peo
pie to the great effort which wrested Geor
gia from the hands of adventurers and
placed her under the control of her own
sons.
Before the war Col. Hardeman was
aligned with the old Whig party, in
which organization he received his polit
ical training, and we all know that there
was no better school. Since the war he
has been in the foremost ranks of the
Democracy, because that party has op
posed, step by step, the encroachments
of Badical misgovernment, and because
all true Southern men have aligned
themselves with it.
We feel confident that we are correct
when we say that Col. Hardeman is the
choice of the Democracy of Decatur
county for the Governorship, and should
he be elected his administration will be
one of the ablest and xno3t brilliant that
has thus far marked our history os a
State.
Governor Smith as a Delegate
For the State at targe.
A majority of the District Conventions
have designated our patriotio Governor
os one of the representatives of Georgia
at the National Democratic Convention,
and upon reflection, we can see no rea
sonable objection to his accepting the
appointment.
The Governor is virtually out of poli
tics, having declined the use of his name
in the pending canvass, and therefore,
with no present personal interest to sub*
serve, is peculiarly well qualified to act
as a calm and dispassionate adviser in
the councils of the great party of which
ho is a true and sterling member.
We trust therefore he may consent to
go to St. Louis, and will lend all the
weight and prestige of his official posi
tion as the head of the empire State of
the South, and the matured judgment of
a logical mind, to the success and f urtbor-
ance of Democratic principles, as contra
distinguished from tho rottenness and
coemption of Badicalism and tho present
administration. .
It is surmised by some, that in the
event of the election to the Presidency of
a Democrat, the Governor will be ten
dered a seat in the Cabinet. This is
certainly not impossible, and it would be
hailed with satisfaction by the people.
His head Is level on questions of econo
my, and in no OTent w.ould ho consent to
screen the gnilty or connive at dishonesty.
The small vote he received at Milledge-
ville, as has already been stated by the
writer, who was present^ was due to tho
honest conviction of some of his besr
Mends that the chief magistrate 01
Georgia, while in office, should hold him
self aloof from Federal politics. Bat so
do not his constituency deride, ns has
been shown by the action of the recent
ooaventioBs.
We hope the Governor will go to St.
Louis and work like a heaver to nomi-
nate Bayard, Tildes, Hendricks, Thur
man or some other good Democrat, we
care not whom, if he he only anti-Grant,
and honest and capahls.
Moulton to Beecher.
Francis D. Moulton, in an open letter
to Henry Ward Beecher, says« "I will
so amend my complaint that the iasne
shall be, if it is not so offered, that by
yonr perjury yon caused me to he in
dicted for libel for saying you were an
adulterer, you thon well knowing what
I said was trao.” Moulton offers to sub
mit this to a jury summoned in tho or
dinary mode, or by cx-Preeident Woolsoy,
of Yolo College, or by Deacon George C
Robinson, of Plymouth Church; or to a
jury, half selected by Thoma3 <5. Shear
man and Edward K. Beecher, and the
olher half by himself, tho verdict of a
majority to bo accepted na a final de-
candidates.
The friends of Governor Tilden are
pushing him very strongly just now in
all directions. The Courier-Journal of
the 25th prints a very long and elaborate
biographical sketch of the Governor, and
editorially presses his nomination on the
people. That paper marvels that so
pronounced a Jeffersonian Democrat—so
upright and pure in public and private,
and possessing such extraordinary ad
ministrative abilities, should not havo
attracted a stronger personal adhesion
in the Southern States.
Well, we think there is no very strong
personal partialities among tho Southern
people for any one of the candidates; or
if there bo an exception to this remark,
we might say that the strongest personal
leaning in the South is for Bayard, of
Delaware. Bayard is a peculiarly at
tractive man—personally, intellectually
and morally. He is of snch noble tem
per and bearing that his very presence
carries assurance of elevation above tho
party groundlings.
Bnt the South will not be controlled
by personal partialities or prejudices in
the support of candidates before tho
convention. Given that the man is
worthy, the controlling question will he
his availability. Judgment on this point
will he a good deal modified by the selec
tion mado by tbe Radicals at Cincinnati,
and we are only sorry that in fixing tho
dato of the St. Louis Convention, a later
day was sot named, so that we might
have the benefit of the popular thought
on the Cincinnati nomination.
But we are glad to believe that the
one great aim and end of tbo Southern
Democracy will be the priceless achieve
ment of a pure, honest, patriotic and im
partial administration. There will be no
trading or bargaining—no pledges of
personal advantage demanded—or if
there should be, woe to the man or clique
who are detected in it.
What can alone command the hearty
respect and enthusiasm svpport of our
people will be clean hands and upright
purposes. Tho spectacle now presented
by the contestants for the Badical nomi
nation is simply disgusting. Candidates
for the Presidency plotting and counter
plotting with such venom and reckless
ness-playing their electioneering games
"so low down," show, in advance, that
they are capable of almost any prostitu
tion of the Presidential office should they
win it. The Sonthern Democracy will
feel no pleasure in supporting any can
didate who shall he suspected of compro
mising hi3 manhood or his dignity as a
statesman in intrigues for the nomina
tion.
Ktlbourne.
It will be seen by the Washington tel
egrams that the Honse has been tricked
ont of the possession of Hilbonrne by
Cartter’s court, and now stands in a sort
of thumb-sacking attitado before the
country. Cartter’s court belongs to the
Washington rings — at least so it
charged by the newspaper correspond
ents—(we know nothing about it person
ally,) and it is also said that Cartter
himself belongs to the Beal Estate Fool.
We have a cordial and hearty respect
for that traditional Democratic reverence
for the sanctity of the writ of habeas cor
pus, which has betrayed the House major
ity into this error; but all of them will
new admit that it teas an error and a
weakness to have permitted the secret
agents of public wrong and iniquity to
wrest a material witness ont of the bands
of tbe representatives of the people of the
United States in Congress assembled, by
the intervention of a corrupt court in the
hands of the wrong doera-
Tbe threats of the President, (if any
snch were made), as reported by some of
tho papers, that he would take Hilbonrne
ont of their hands with a force of marines
from the Navy Yard if the House re
fused to give him up, made it more im
portant that the House should main
tain its high perogatives, if it ha3 any at
all.
And if the House has none—if indeed
it cannot maintain possession and control
of its witnesses against the action of the
local magistracy of Washington City,
then there is no available remedy for
official malversation in Washington, and
the elaborate provisions of the Constitu
tion for tho trial of high crimes and mis
demeanors by the Senate, with the House
prosecuting in the name of The People,
are a barren farce.
For, in respect to Washington sur
roundings, the Executive arm of the
Government is almost necessarily master
of the situation, and tho more corrupt
the administration the moro perfect its
control. This single case shows conclu
sively that the House is really powerless
to pursue the very investigations which
are now its most overruling duty and
obligation to pursue with unsparing
vigor, and in weakly surrendering the
high prerogatives with which they have
been armed by the people, for tho all
important pnrpoBO of vindicating the
purity of the public administration, they
have practically put themselves in a
strait jacket, which will be fatal to all
efficient action, unless, in some way they
can recover the ground so unfortunately
lost. That should now be done or
attempted at all hazards.
A Millennial Straw.
In Japan a magnificent Christian taber
nacle haa recently been erected from the
ood and other materials of demolished
Budhist temples. This looks like true
evangelical progress, and the harbinger of
a glorious reformation in that ancient Pa
gan country, whero for several thousand
years idolatry prevailed, and no foreigner
dare set foot upon its shores. Indeed, of
late, the Gospel of Christ has been the
open sesame" in all countries to tho pio
neers of civilization and the arts and sci-
Once touch tho hearts and con
sciences of the most untutored people, by
an appeal to that religions principle
which exists in all of God’s creatures and
is the truest test of tbe immortality of the
sonl, and the most magical consequences,
temporal and spiritual ensne. Witness tho
present condition of the once warlike and
bloodthirsty inhabitants of the Island of
Madagascar, tho opening up of China to
missionary labor, and the general spread
of the Gospel throughout the world.
Let this work continue in the same ra
tio, and sooner than wo may imagine the
auspicious day' will arrive when all tho
kingdoms of the earth and the isles of the
era will acknowledge the truo God of the
universe, and tho millennium epoch dawn
upon the children of men.
Tlie Infamous Kendrick.
The Columbus Enquirer of yesterday,
devotes several columns to the reproduc
tion of the exact evidence submitted by
the prosecution, in the first day’s trial of
thi3 arch offender against Church and
State. The details wo cannot permit to
bo seen in the columns of the Tel**
a bath. It might have boen necessary
for our respected contemporary to print
them in response to the imperious de
mands of tbe community, and because
the facts wero already in possession of a
large portion of its citizen*, who were
eye and ear witnesses to tho testimony.
But for us, there is no such excuse;
and the Police Gazette never vomited
forth more sickening and repulsive para
graphs, than wero made up from the
sworn utterances of the parties who ex
posed the crimo of this apostate minis
ter of Christ.
They are unfit to meet the pure vision
of maiden innocence, or wifely chastity.
Nay, if such relations are to become a
part of the daily mental pabnlum of the
rising generation, then in vain will he
the teachings of Christianity and the
Bible. Poison the sourco of a fountain,
and it3 bright waters are converted into
gall and worm-wood, and carry disease
and death to all who imbibo them. So
it is with the young mind. Corrupt its
pure instincts with recitals of crimo and
obscenity, destroy its confidence in tho
goodness of mankind, familiarizo it with
deeds of darkness and villainy, and dis
play humanity in its most hideous sur
roundings, and the transition from purity
to degradation is not difficult. Faeilis
descensus Averni.
Hence, the press of tho country, as far
as possible, should maintain intact, and
as spotless as Alpine snows, the virtue
and purity of its columns.
In the case before ns, tbe largest char
ity and blindest zeal of blood and friend
ship, can find no palliation for tho con
duct of the accused. Even granting that
those who appeared as direct witnesses^
had been snborned, and gave false tea
timony, the artless tale of the child vic
tim alone, backed up, as it is, by an irre
fragable chain of circumstantial and cor
roborative evidence, oral and otherwise,
would suffice to convict and overwhelm
the prisoner.
Not only does it appear that ho ruined
an innocent and confiding Sunday-school
scholar, the child and sister of his own
chnrch members, bnt with devilish cun
ning sought in advance, to destroy by
foul means the evidences of his guilt,
should they transpire.
Such turpitude and wickedness, envel
oped too, as the facts show, in a perfect net
work of falsehood, rarely have had a par
allel in the annals of crime.
The trial will be resumed to-day at 9
&. sr., and highly connected and well bom
as the prisoner doubtless is, still we trust
the utmost rigor of the law will be visit
ed upon his head.
His deserts, alas! tho penal statute
falls immeasurably short of reaching.

Reform in tbe Right Direction
We clip the following from the Nash
ville American:
Varions advertisements having ap
peared in Cincinnati papers, offering
attorney services in the procurement of
divorces without publicity, and on the
sole ground of incompatibility, which
cannot be done legally, tho bar of tne
city took the matter in hand, and after
tracing nearly all the advertisements,
bearing different signatures, to one
member of their profession, have secured
the filing of information by the Prosecut
ing Attorney with a view to his disquali
fication from practice. The case has
been set for hearing May 1G.
If this course should be adopted, it
will go far to check the monstrous and
growing evil of marriage separations for
trivial causes.
The sacredness and indestructibility of
the marital relation, is tho strongest
bulwark and protection to civilization
and good morals, that can bo devised,
Just in proportion as tho attempt to set
aside or weaken the force of that tie
which is a direct emanation from Deity,
proves successful, will man be brought
nearer to the level of tho brute creation.
It is tho corner stono of society—the
palladium of chastity, tho salvation of
thousands of young men—the hope of
tho country.
The scriptures lay down the only ex
ceptions to the life long obligations of
the marriage contract, and mac may not
contravene or annul God’s laws.
Hence, these jackalls in society, who
pander to tho depraved and fickle tastes
of individuals seeking to cancel their
marriage vows from alleged incompati
bility, sated appetites, and other eqnaUy
flimsy pretexts, deserve to he read ont of
tho legal profession and scorned by their
more honorable associates.
The enticing cards pat forth by such
unscrupulous practitioners, servo as baits
to the weak and thoughtless who are led
to believo that the law is on their side,
and therefore if divorces on the above
grounds are legal, they are also right and
proper. And moreover, the indneements
of secrecy, certainty and speed are offered
to the discontented couple.
To realize the baleful effect of these
subtle but falsa arguments, one ha3 bnt
to read the multitudinous annual record
of divorces in several of tbo Western
States. There, the sacred rite of mar-
riago is little moro than a conventional
agreement between two persons of oppo
site sexes, to livo together, until one or
tho other tires of tho bargain. Could
anything bo moro destructive of pnblio
morals, or ruinous to tho best interests of
society ?
Long may it be, ere the South can be
ind iced to embrace snch degrading opin
ions concerning the holy institution-of
marriage, which is the origin and con
servator of all domestic peace and hap
piness.
Enoch Arden with a Variation.
From the New York World.]
John Drysdall, of New York, in 1866
was possessed of property in Missouri and
went to look after it, leaving his wife and
two children behind. The properly sold
and the proceeds in his pocket, he took
the Mississippi river boat to New Or
leans, intending to stay a few days, bnt
having been fleeced by a gambler, be
landed in that city withont a cent. He
went- to work at his trade, printing, bnt
in 1863, although he had made some
money, he was ashamed to go homo, not
withstanding he had written to let them
know ho was alive. He went to Colorado,
began mining, made a fortune, and
thinking that his family had discarded
birn, as he had received no answer to his
letters, he went on a tour through Eu
rope. On Saturday ho returned to Now
York, found that his wife liod thought
him dead, married again, lost her second
husband, and -was living is Bergen,
' hither he at once went ana found her.
A grand party was given to tho fri«-nd«
pf the family to commemorate the happy
reunion, and they will shortly removo to
j New York.

What tbe South Wants.
Washington Special to the New York Herald.]
There are Democrats here wbe do not
agree entirely with what was sent you
by yonr special correspondent last night
on the subject of the Democratic candi
dates. The Herald’s dispatch was dis
cussed this evening by several of these,
one of whom remarked: “You must
not forget, as yon appear to, that to carry
Indiana in October is as necessary as to
carry Now York in November, and
whether any Eastern Democrat can carry
Indiana is very doubtful. Mr. Tilden
certainly could not Mr. Hendricks
could, and he is a stronger man than
yon think. Senator Thurman might
carry Indiana, but he might also loso
Ohio, which would be bad. Tho prob
lem at St Lonis is to nominato a ticket
which would certainly cany Indiana in
October and New York in November,
and it is not easy to namo tho men who
will do it nmeng tho prominent candi
dates.’* ,v.
"As to Judgo DAyik.” said another, "no
doubt ho would conciliate and draw a
good many independent and dissatisfied
Bepublican votes, but bo would probably
lose a good many Democrats at tho same
time. Oar people don’t want to repeat
the Greeley movement. Such a plan
wonld bring about greater disgust and
failure this time than four years ago.
Thousands of Democratic voters all over
the country would stay at home.”
"Bayard would fill the bill better than
either Tilden or Davis,” said a third
Democrat. "He i3 as popular a3 either,
and has few or none of their drawbacks.
He is a growing man, and if be were to
be nominated with enthusiasm ho conld
probably poll the whole Democratic vote
and something over. If the election were
to be held to-morrow I’m sore he could
win the day. Bat there is a good deal of
time for things to happen between now
and November, and there is nodonbt
that the dark horses have an uncommon
ly good chance at St. Lonis. Suppose,
for instance, the convention should nom
inate Senator Randolph, of New Jersey—
he has an excellent record and is an able
man—or Clarkson Potter, of New York.
He made an extremely fine record in
Congress, is a remarkably clear beaded,
Eound man, with no extreme or nonsonsi-
cal notions on any subject, and his ser
vice on tho Louisiana Committee last
year mado him well known throughout
the South. Or Senator English, of
Connecticut. All these are demoorats,
which is certainly an advantage; none
of them are extreme men, and Randolph
and Potter are very favorably known in
tho South. Then, if you look WeBt for a
dark horse, there is Col. Morrison, of
Illinois; not 03 well known as he deserves
to be, for ho is a very able and sonnd
man. He grows rapidly in everybody’s
favor who knows him or sees his work.
Morrison could carry Illinois and Indiana
in November. Missouri and other West
ern States wonld support him in the
Convention. If the dark horse is to
come from tho West an abler one than
Morrison could not he found. And he,
too, a Democrat. Ho fought for the
Union, his record 1‘s unexceptionable,
tbe Germans like him, and, though you
Eastern people do nob know him very
well, he 13 mighty well known in the
West, whero it would not bo difficult to
get up a very lively enthusiasm over the
honest and modest fellow.
"All your dark horses are sound on
the currency, I mJfce,” said a listener.
The reply was: *
"Yes, and all the- prominent candi
dates are sound on tho currency. The
inflation movement is making no head
way among the Western Democrats. It
was a fever, and there are signs that it is
dying ont. Our platform at St. Louis
will depend, necessarily, somewhat on
the shape of tho Cincinnati platform,
but our currency plank will not differ
materially from that of tho Republicans,
unless they make a blunder. It is not so
much his hard money record which will
kill Tilden there, it ho is killed, as a gen
eral belief in the West that the shrewd
Governor played for his own hand last
fail, and was too ready to let Ohio be lost
in the hope that his own strength in New
York would then make him master of the
situation. Our people do not readily
forget a suspicion of this kind. Besides,
Tilden lives too far East; ho might lose
both Indiana and Ohio, and might, after
all, leave New York uncertain. But Til
den and his friends are working, and, if
hard and skillful work will do it, he may
get the nomination. He is the smartest
and the most driving politician in tbe
Democratic party. Ho learned his trade
in New York.
"That sort of thiugwill not work so
well this time,'* eaid another speaker.
" We are going to try to carry this elec
tion, and wo can’t afford to nominato
anybody because ho works hard for it.
If Mr. Tilden, in the general belief at
St. Louie, can most certainly win, then
he’ll bo nominated; but we havo got a
good many other men as sound and with
as clear a record a3 he; and there will be
men at tho convention who know how
the conntry feels.”-
‘As for us,” said a Southwestern man,
"we do not mean to have any favorites.
You of the North-must mako the ticket.
It iB easy for us to see that nobody in
the North likes us rebels. You people
are not nearly as well reconstructed as
we are. It is a good time for us to stand
aside and let tho Northern men pick
ont the candidates. Ail wo want is an
honest and able man who can.be elected,
and the stronger Union man he was dur
ing the war the better for us. It won’t
hurt the Democratic candidate in tho
South if he fought in tho Union army. 1
This ended the conversation, which
gives somewhat roughly tho views of
several Democrats, so mo of them not
withont influence in their party.

Editorial Correspondence.
Washington Citt, April 25,1876.
TH* CLAIM
Of your city for the refunding of certain
money which was paid &b Federal tax
between the years 1867 and 1872, and
which has been before the Honse Com
mittee on Claims, has been reported upon
favorably by that committee, and will
certainly be endorsed by tbe House.
What its fate will be in tbe Senate re
mains to be seen, though I have no donbt
Messrs. Gordon and Norwood, with the
facts in hand to sustain them, will make
it good there also. The amonnt to be
refunded is $4,178 97 which, though not
exactly a bonanza, will help ont some,
and very acceptably these hard times.
The report of the Honse committee—a
copy of which I enclose—is very clear in
its statement that tbe tax was improper
ly collected, not being authorized by any
statute of the United States.
dlainb’s explanation
yesterday of that $64,000 matter was lis
tened to very attentively by a full House,
and tho general impression seems to be
that ho has como as near cleaning bis
skirts as was possible. He admitted a loss
of $20,000 by bis speculation, bnt if half
what is said of his present fortune be true,
it was a small matter. Ho was listened to
very attentively by all present, and when
he concluded was greeted by applause
from bis side of the House, and received
general congratulation in which some
Democrats joined. It was expected that
he wonld, perhaps, take a shy at Morton,
in whoso interested at whose instigation
the story is believed to have been started,
but that expectation was not realized. He
read his defence instead of speaking it,
which practice seemB much more common
nowadays than in antebellum times. I do
not like it, myself, bnt that is a mere mat
ter of taste. Perhaps the old time cuatom
seems to smack too much of the rare old
days of Southern ascendancy, when Con
gressmen could, and did " think,” os a
matter of course and custom, "on their
legs," as somebody haa felicitously
phrased it, and therefore should be aban
doned.
Apropos of Blaine, tho30 who seem to
know, represent him as feeling exceed
ingly sure of nomination at Cincinnati,
and even more confident of election, but
many-shrewd folk are confident that be,
Morton and Conkling will destroy each
other, and leave the way open for an en
tirely new man. I am assured by prom
inent New York Radicals that if Blaine
be nominated he must be elected with
out tho vote of that State. They declare
that he cannot and will not carry it in
any event. Conkling is represented as
determined that shall not happen, no
matter what the effect upon the grand
result, or his own political future.
A MOST GRATIFYING BBSULT
was reached last Friday, in the passage,
by the House, of the bill transferring the
Indian Bureau to the War Department.
There was warm work on both sides ot
the debate, but the argument was
clearly and powerfully in favor of the
transfer.. There was considerable senti
mentalising of tho played ont, puling,
mawkish kind on the part of some Rad
icals who seem to have tears to shed for
everybody in tbe country except the
Southern whites whom they have robbed
and ruined, but tho House paid little at
tention to their mannderings. Justice
and economy seem clearly on the side of
tho transfer, and if it is sanctioned by
the Senate it will save, this year, not less
than jive, and probably eight million dol
lars, to say nothing of preventing tbe
anneal Indian wars, which absorb so
much of Uncle Sam’s money. The fate
of the measuro in the Senate is doubtful.
The Indian "ring” is said to be pecu
liarly strong in that body, and if the bill
becomes a law some of its members
might have to curtail their expenditures
and spend less timo clipping coupons.
There are many more "solid” men in
that body than m tbo House, tho differ
ence in numbers of course being consid
ered, and one of their richest bonanzas is
said to bo located in this same Indian
business as now conducted.
THE FEItDaSN’s BUREAU
rottenness is in full stink, just now,
under the stirring of a Honse committee
of investigation. More than all that has
been charged or suspected has been
crystalized into fact, under tho probo
of patient and rigid inquiry. It would
fill several columns to print even what
has been made public up to date, and
it is all of tho samo import. One cf
the rottenest things of all the putridities
that have had their birth under the loath
some rule of the past eight or ten years,
is this Freedmen’s Burean, and the bot
tom is not yet reached. With the excep
tion of Richmond, Va., the business is
proved to have been conducted in the
most shamefully profligate, or criminally
careles manner. Theft was the rule and
honesty tho exception in the management
everywhere. Officials stolo tho funds and
admitted the fact, but plead poverty as
an excuse. One of their favorito methods
of robbery seems to have been to mako
loans to relatives and particular friends
without requiring the slightest security.
One of the rascalities hitherto hidden,
bnt which has como out under tho com
mittee'8 examination, was that in which
Hilbourn, the late recusant witness, and
a pal of his named Evans, wero princi
pally concerned. They borrowed $30,000
from tbe bank on certain collaterals,
among which wero a lot of Seneca Sand
Stono Company bonds, which were not
then, and aro not now worth one cent on
the hundred dollars. The other collaterals
were good for tho amount, but when the
loan was made a secret agreement was
ontered into between theso men and the
bank officials, that in cise tbe money
borrowed was not paid at the stipulated
time, all the good securities should bo
returned to the borrowers and the Sand
stone bonds bo taken in full payment of
tbo loan. This was finally done, tho
bank giving up the note, and only retain
ing the worthless bonds. And this is
only a sample transaction. I suppose tho
wires have already told you of tbi3 and
other similar iniquities, but it eeems to
me a little reiteration on this lino might
havo a beneficial effect upon somo of
those who have been victimized in and
around Macon.
ANOTHER BONANZA
of iniquity is being revealed nndcr the
investigations of the committee on ex
penditures in the Treasury Department,
in regard to tho operations of tho cotton
bureau. Bristow refused to let the com
mittee have the original books, but offer
ed to furnish copies of tho records de
sired. One man testified that he wa3 a
prominent officer in this bnreau, and was
allowed to expend $100,000 withont giv
ing a single voucher therefor, and the
records show that a man named Simeon
Draper, of New York, who was cotton
collector under Lincoln, and was sent as
such to Savannah, ecized millions of dol
lars’ worth of cotton for the proceeds of
which he has sever yet accounted to the
Government. These things have boen
partly known before, bnt the full meas
ure of Draper’s villainy ha3 never before
been folly revealed. Where this money
went will never he known, but of course
he was not allowed to keep it all himself.
A list of his partners in the "divvy”
would be good reading now, and in all
probability not only cause some Senato
rial vacancies here, but also diminish the
list of candidates for the Cincinnati nom
ination. It is not at allprobable, however,
that the full measure of this particular
well of Radical corruption will ever be
sounded by this or any other investiga
ting committee. There havo been many
mysterious disappearances of official doc
uments, and there will bo still more in
every department should tbo Democrats
carry the next election. It will bo a
good thing for the tax payers of the*
conntry that the Government buildings
are generally firo proof should that event
fako place. Washington would else bo
in great danger.
TUB RESULT
t the '"religious revival" that has hodri
in progress here so many weeks is stated
in a morning paper to have been tbe se
curing from nearly two thousand per
sons pledges that henceforth they would
lead Christian lives. The persons who
claim this result as the fruits of their
labors are now in Baltimore, bnt promise
to return here and make a special assault
upon the Capitol. I have not heard of
any conversions among its habitacs,
though that may result from the fact
that so many of them are like Deacon
Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette, trooly
good already. I think this wonld be a
most favorable season for the revivalists
to lay siege to tbe lobby here. The lat
ter are truly lean and hungry kino this
year, and might, in their distress, be
peculiarly susceptible to influences they
would despise and resist in the days of
their fatness. _ Let Hammond, theri, re
turn to Washington and make the lobby
the object of his special efforts. If bo
conld induce them to take a commercial
view of the mattor, I am sure he would
capture the last man.
TH* SILVER BUSINESS.'
Up to date tbe Treasury Department
has exchanged over $200,000 in silver coin
for that amonnt of shinplasters. A pack
age of $25,000 was sent yesterday to a
New York bank in exchange for a like
amount of tbo fractional, which proved,
upon being opened, to be entir-ly new and
in tbe original package in which it had
been sent to the bank. The people who
seem to be most anxions to get hold of
silver here are negroes and the lower
classes of onr foreign born citiz»ns. I
also notice that there seems to bo con
siderable scarcity of ten and twenty cent
pieces compared with halves and quar

A STARTLING STATEHENT.
How Honey Is Stolen from tbe Uni
ted State* Treasury.
Albint, April 24 —Matthew Richard
son, of this city, referred to in Prender’s
statement alleging frands in the Treas
ury Department, was a clerk in Spinner’s
bnreau. entering upon his duties in the
year 1864. He says it was his duty to
keep tbe books of tbe department for the
cancellation of moneys or the represents
tives of moneys, and he was one of the
committee through whose hands sach
moneys passed. Frank Jones was chief
of the division, and all formB of currency
passed through tbe hands of this com
mittee. Mr. RicbardBon states that in
1865 a package of money, amounting to
$10,500, was lost and never discovered.
A certificate was filed that the money
had been lost, bnt falsely stated that it
had been canceled. In 1869 a package
of redeemed currency, amounting to
$70,000, was not destroyed in the usual
manner, but cut into slips to bind other
packages with. He waB requested by
Jones to make ont a certificate that the
entire amonnt had been destroyed, but
refused to do so. Shortly after he learned
that Jones had filed a certificate with
Treasurer Spinner, stating that the
$70,000 had been destroyed. He there
fore went to the Treasnrer and told him
the certificate was a lie, and demanded
an investigation, which was refused.
Mr. Richardson subsequently demand
ed that the law requiring that all bonds,
currency, etc., directed to .be destroyed
should be canceled before being placed
in the hands of the committee, should be
complied with, but the chief ot the di
vision declined to do so. Mr. Richard
son further ascertained tbat the certifi
cates of the destruction of the currency,
instead of being preserved, were destroy
ed from timo to time, thus removing all
opportunity to detect fraud.
Millions of dollars <f perfect money
the issue of which had been stopped,
camo into the hands of this committee,
and it was easy to purloin a portion of
the issne. By refusing to cancel the
money, it wa3 left available for the nse
of those whose duty it was to destroy
it, and by burning the certificates, all
proof of the amount which passed into
their hands were destroyed. Mr. Rich
ardson then asked the chief of the division
for a book in which to keep a record of
the doings of tbe committee, and was
refused. He therefore procured a book
and kept the record for somo time before
hi3 chief knew anything abont it. With
these facts in his possession Richardson
undertook to secure an investigation
He applied to Secretary McCulloch, who
referred the matter to the Comptroller
of the Currency, where the effort failed.
He then applied to lioutwell, who de
clined to investigate tho affair. He also
called Brisrow’s attention to the trans
action, but he would not look into it.
The Argus publishes documents cor
roborating Mr. Richardson’s statement.
THIS GEORGIA PRESS.
Mew York,
Mobile Eog’a ter. |
From conversation with several distin
guished gentlemen who aro recently from
Washington, we learn that the impression
among politicians there is that New York
song politicians there is th
to decide the approaching
Presidential
election, and that in view of this belief the
Republicans will probably nominate as
their candidate a New York man—in all
probability, Mr. Conkling. Tho Demo
cratic party likewise feel the importance
of nominating a candidate who can carry
New York. Mr. Curtis, in a leading article
in last week’s Harper’s Weekly, says the
vote of New York will decide tho next
Presidential contest, and reasons that a
Republican candidate must be nominated
who can carry Now York. While he does
not say so in as many words, he shows con
clusively that Senator Conkling is Eot the
man who can do that. Now York State, he
argues, is now Democratic. Gov. Tilden is
" one of the most accomplishedpoliticians
in the country; is "the one conspicuous
Democrat in the country who is known as
a reformer, has a present complete ascen
dancy in his party in this State, and his
chance for the Presidential nomination of
his own party is to-day very ninch better
than that of any other Democrat, and
there i3 no other man in the party for
whom a dissatisfied New York Republican
could so easily vote.” Furthermore, Mr.
Curtis makes this statement:
We know staunch Republicans, dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention, who
did not hesitato lust sumner to call
themselves Tilden Republicans.
In view of this state of affairs, Mr.
Curtis comes to this conclusion:
New York cannot he recovered to the
Republicans by the force of the machine.
Tho vote of the State is too nearly
balanced, the Democratic position here
is too advantageous, and Republican
independence and courago too inflexible
to permit the supposition that the State
can be carried by any candidate merely
because be is nominated at Cincinnati.
He mnst represent all that honorable
Republicans demand, and not to be
absolutely identified with.all that they
most regret and deplore and disavow.
liost Papers.
Grant and his cabinet, says tho Nash
ville American, have developed a novel
interest in the preservation of official pa
pers. It is not pretended that a single
document entrusted to the present Con
gresa or its committees has as yet been
lost. On the other hand, it is notorious
that many calls from committees for im
portant papers have been met by re
sponses that they wero missing—that i3,
had been lost or destroyed, or hidden by
tneir official keepers in the Departments.
If tho committees aro to bo refused such
documents 03 implicated officials may
prefer to conceal, what comes of the
power invested in them invariably by
the resolution creating them, " to send
for persons and papers ?” Wasting hour?

Th* Dalton Citizen is unable to shake
off the energy of its spring enthusiasm.
It now says, “snakes, lizards, croquet

paragraph with the remark that “the
plaintive notes of the whippoorwill are
also heard in the still evening hoars,
floating out lonely, sad and beautiful in
the golden haze of sunset.” It then pro
ceeds, in the very next paragraph to puff
an “ Anti-bilious Discovery.” Could any
other thing have so romantically capped
the climax of a fin^pnng phrenzy ?
If thero is any better country weekly
in Georgia than the Dalton Citizen, it
doesn’t como to this office; and if there
is, we hope to bo at once put upon its
exchange list. All this, notwithstanding
the Citizen eliminates the following:

Th* Waynesboro Expositor has the
following: For some timepast Mr. Abram
Chance, who resides at Green’s Cut, has
been losing corn by theft. A few days
ago he succeeded in discovering the thief,
who proved to be a negro man named
Ned Green. Green was taken before a
magistrate, and in default of bond was
ordered to jail. Ho was turned over to
Dr. J. R. Roughton and J. M. Wimberly,
officers of that district, to he brought to
jail. On Monday afternoon the trio start
ed. Green desired permission to visit his
house in order to see his wife and make
arrangements for his absence. Once more
they started, when Green again asked per
mission to return and bid his wile good
bye. In passing by Dr. Roughton he
grasped the Doctor’s leg and pulled him
from his horse, and threw him down, at
the same timo endeavoring to snatch tbo
Doctor’s pistol away from him. Mr
Wimberly hearing the Doctor’s call—he
was a little in advanco—returned—and
drawing his pistol shot at the negro, who
letting B. loose, seized W.. and reaching
eround gathered a stick, and struck
W. a violent blow on the head. D-.
Roughton' then drew his pistol, and
shot at Green, who ran. Four shots
were fired at him, none of which took
effect. The negro ran to his house, and
soon returned with a shot gun. Raising
his gun, he aimed it at the Doctor, and
fired just as the Doctor jumped behind a
pine tree. The Doctor then having two
shots remaining in his pistol fired at him,
one shot taking effect in the upper part
of his body, the other passing into his
abdomen. Green was regarded by both
black and white as a desperate character,
and doubless intended to murder both
the officers and esefipe. He died on
Tuesday.
Th* Atlanta Times of yesterday has the
following item: A meeting was held,
yesterday, at the office of Register in
Bankruptcy, by the assignees, creditors
and parties in interest in the West, Ed
wards & Co., bankruptcy, by which the
creditors will probably secure a benefit.
It will be remembered by our readers
tnat the goods of J. F. West, doing bust
ness in Barnesville, a brother of the senior
of the firm, was attached daring the early
stages of thebankruptcy as beingthe goods
of the bankrupts. After the assignees
were appointed these goods were claim
ed to be part of the assets of the estate,
and measures were taken to bring them
in as such. The meeting, yesterday, wa3
in settlement of this matter. The assign
ees claimed that J. F. West was indebted
to West, Edwards & Co., in the sum of
$8,382 33. Against thta amount various
reclamations wero claimed by J. F. West
as offsets. The sum of $2,000 was paid
out on a claim on account of West,
Edwards & Co , to a creditor after the
bankruptcy. Several other smaller sums
were attempted to be set off against the
claim of the assignees, in the whole
amounting to $5,907 14. After consider
able discussion and effort to arrange the
matter, no conclusion was como to,
before the Register, bnt, the matter
being still pursued, a settlement was
agreed upon subject to tho approval of
the Bankrupt Court at $5,000, allowing
J. F. West the sum of $1,382 33 from The
amount originally claimed. The settle
ment is to be perfected by indorsed notes,
bearing interest, with good security,
payable the 1st of October next.
Th* Commissioner of Agriculture has

Information having been received at

I suggest that yon try nitrate of soda on

port tho results to this Department.
Pulverize well and sow broadcast over
the wheat when "in boot,” and while
the dew is on the blades, at the rate of
seventy-five pound! per acre. This is
recommended only as an experiment, so
far as preventing rust is concerned, hut
benefit to the wheat is an established
fact. The discovery of a preventive of
