GEORGIA. PRESS.
Tb* eo-colled “Independents” seem to
uto gone back on Colonel Quail Eater
rhorntoo moat shamefully. The Atlanta
papers eoy not a d?l?gate was pr sent at
the Colonel’s convention, and in his deep
disgust the Colonel evolves and prints the
following card:
Atlanta. July 2-1.—It is not with o spir
it ot revenge m publishing a notice ot the
postponement of the convention of the
ladepsudeota of tha state which was call-
ed for this da:e, that I take occasion to
say of cboss uninformed ecribblers who
edit country newspapers in Georgia with
scissors, and claim to be independent,
that in the call for a convention of the
Independents of the State, in which to
consult and give some show of tangibility
to their cause espoused, and which is
rapidly growing to large proportions that
they have exhibited less independence
and more downright stupid servility than
can be found in the moat pattiaan“or-
gamz-d” newspaper in all the country.
Their coarse venom and nnwarranted bil
lingsgate, although thrust direct, has not
irjared me or damaged the Independent
cause in the State. Of course it node
some who a*e identifl d or will oa-oper
ate with the movement wcak-knetd and
retioent about taking the necessary initia
tory steps. Some of them are opposed to

hypocrites as eomo who peddle second

closed from talking slanderously about

says something they do not approve they
at once proceed to impale him on the
part of villification. Snch men are not

pan lents of the State is necessary and
will be beneficial, and I ask that delegates
from each county in the State meet in
Atlanta on Wednesday, the 22i of Ooto-

Thz Augusta Chronicle prints John
Sherman’s Portland speech in full,making
teven or eight column?,and caving a deal
editorial work this hot weather.
We find this in Gregg Wright’s last
editorial letter from Atlanta:
Some days since I informed yon that
‘he Finance Committee, on motion of
Mr. Pmllips, of Cobb, had appointed a
subcommittee to investigate the levying
of the tax for the payment of the princi
pal acd interest of the Nutting bond?.
It is stated that thiB committee—consist
ing of Messrs. Phillip?, Sibl?y and Mill
er—have submitted a report, in which
they find that a large amount of money,
I n the shape of taxe3, has bsen illegally
evied acd collected. It will be remem
bered that the amonnt of this iS3ueof
bonds was $1,200,000, that the bonds
bore eight per cent, interest and were t
be paid in twelve year?, in annual in
stallments of $100,000. For the first
year, 1875, th<n. the principal to be paid
amonnted to $100,000 and the interest to
$96,000—making a total of $196,000. Io
1876 be principal and interest amonnted
to $183,000 In 1877 the amount needed
was $180 000; in 1878 the amount needed
was $172,000. Tbts year $161,CCD will
be xtq ured. But the committee End
that daring each of these years except
tbs last a tax of one mill has been levied
and collected for the payment of the
principal and interest of those bonds and
the amonnt annaally received has varied
bn $220,000 to $256,000,maktDg a very
largo aggregate excess. This excess
went into the general fnnd and was used
for tho purpose of the government, but
the fact seams to remain that the levy
and collection of this excess wjs not au
thorized by law. In defense of Govern
or Colquitt it is urged that he only fol
lowed the example set by his predeces
sor. Governor Smith. The annual tax
acts have only authorized the imposition
of a tax sufficient to pay $100,000 ot the
principal each year.
Dalton’s 1 itest delight is that tie hot
weather has killed the dog fennel crop.
An Atlanta letter to the Dalton Citizen,
tells the following good ’an on tho Hon.
Mr.Phillips, of Cobb:
The Treasurer has in his safe half a
million of bonds, merely United States
bods deposited by Insurance companies
in conformity with tho State law. Some
green members eaw them and jumped to
the conclusion that they had bsen pur
chased by the Treasurer with the State’s
money without authority of law. Mr.
Phillips introduced a resolution, which
was passed, calling upon the Treasurer
for information as to the sale of the 4
per cent, bonds, the bonds redeemed with
the mousy, the bonds das in 1879 and
1880, and enquiring what smonnt of
■ money bad been invested in the United
States bonds and what interest they bore.
Of ooarse the whole sting of the resolu
tion was iD the tail, in tho little cUuser
referring to United States bonds. The
Treasurer replied, eeniing in a repert
giving the information desired as to the
facts, and with quiet bat keen satire, sta
ting that the information called fer had
already been given in his report that the
members had hod before them since the
opening of the session. In regard to the
United States bonds, he knew of none in
the Tressary that had been bought with
the State’s money, nor did he know of any
authority for snob purchase, and that the
only binds of that character in the Treas
ury wore those deposited by Insurance
companies. There was a sort of dry grin
in the body over the Treasurer’s report
io response to the unnecessary and fool-
ich resolution, and the fact that the body
bad made an ass of itself was quietly and
gracefnlly accepted.

The editor of ihe Savannah Recorder
who has recently bsen in the Lanatu
Asj lam at Milledgeville, nukes the fol
lowing report:
We are impressed with tbe idea that
the Legiatare must piss some kind of »
law to protect the Slate from imposition.
There are to-day at least 250 who oogb>
not to have been sent, so far as regard
their ability to do barm to any one, or to
bs cured. They were, no donbt, a cart
to their parents acd friends, and the)
thought the asylum was the best plao.
for them. Idiot?, paralytics, semi imbe
cility and epileptic children, snoh oases
should be kept at home.
We aro not Advocating their return
home; that could not now be well done,
for some have been in tbe asylum from
ten to twenty year?. It is to guatd
against sash esses in the fatare that the
State should protect itself. If it is not
dane, then they aejlam mu t be enlar
ged, or one mast be bailt to meet sneb
cases. If the State intend] to support
all the idiots, imbeciles, etc., then lui
tbe Legislature double the size of the
present institntion, or buy the old Ogle
thorpe college building.
Bnt is it fair or just for the State to
shoulder such a responsibility ? We eay
not. Lunatics aid madmen, persons de
manding medical treatment* and close
confinement, aro the characters wh«
should fill tbe aeylnm. Oar observation
of yesterday satisfied us that if some
change is not made, then there moat be
another institution.
Large Extensions Dehexd.—Under
this head the Colnmbos Enquirer-Sun re
marks:
We have not all misapprehended the
advocates of the proposed extension of the
M. & B. R. B. Any line between Maoon
and Atlanta is an immediate competitor
to the Central and designed to divide i t>
business. The bad part is for the Slate
to tax the property ot the Central to build
the M. & B., and then coolly propose by a
lessened lease, or lower purchase price,
or some kind of support by which the
anti-State aid law can he evaded, to se
cure another route between Macon and
Atlanta and get a rival tbroogh line to
the seaboard. If the extension be de
sired let it be completed with private
means that will buy tbe rest of the line at
its fullest value.
Well, the rest of the Slate has a h«ud
in the matter, and while they are discuss
ing extending for the benefit of comma
nines, this section and the rest intereered
in other routes desire the Macon and
Brunswick, if oontinned at all, pushed on
to Knoxville, Tens., there to give us a
connection fehich will compete with that
oppressive monopoly, the Western and
Atlantic railroad If aid tc extension by
the State be the aim, let it bs something
to benefit not a strip of coantiy, bat all
divisions. Let it not only bs a rival to
the Central, but compete equally with
the Western and AUajtio. Let’s divide
all the business. “The General Assem
bly,” in the words of tbe Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce in asking the extension
from Maoon, “is eai neatly requested to
foster said enterprise ou each terms as
will protect the enterprise of tha State.”
Lst us have no half woy measures, bat a
big thing iu which all tha towns and
counties can share.

That Mosmjn iluanza in Whitvield

following particulars of this affair:
Joseph Standing and Roger Clawson,
two Mormon missionaries, direct from
Utah, began preaching a few diys ago in
tha neighborhood of Eiiidge’s Mill, in
Whitfield county, about two miles from
Ysmell's Station. There had been oth
ers before them, icfiaeacing soma peopla
to sell ont and move to Utah. Consider

them, and a crowd of men, eleven in
number, dttsrmined to drive them ont

Standing was killed. The good people

The following is the evidence before

men, who presen’ed their pistols and

started off one of them struck me in the

me, and one took Standing by the band,
telling ns to come ou that they were go

hollow by a spring, (topped to drink and
Standing drank twice. Some of the men
eat down and one of them laid his pistol
down. Standing took it np and level
ed it at the men on horseb ink and told
them to surrender, and as ha did so one
man raised up from under the tree, fired
and StaodiBg fell. They said, as I look
ed to the wood?, shoot that man (mean
ing me), and as I turned to them and fol
ded my arms, olhers in tho crowd said
don’t shoot him. I then went to Stand

effect by tearing off the bridge of the
nose and entering the forehead, tearinga

dead, and more gunshot wounds in he.d

who did the shooting. A3 they took

We see from the Atlanta ConstHulion
of resent date that a correspondent of
the New York Times has had an inter
view with Jonathan Norcross, the la-t
Republican candidate for Governor in
Georgia. He was asked if tbe Rads
would organize for a Gubernatorial cam
paign in Georgia next year. “Tout de
pends very maoh ou the coarse tho In
dependents may pursue,” ho replied. “I
think thc7 have it in their power to or
ganize and put forth a platform of prin
ciples which might induce tbe co-opera
tion of the Republican?, and secure to
them tbe Governor and the State Honse
ufilcer?, as well as a majority of the mem
bers of Congress.” Now, we never
thought Jonathan had muoh sense abou'
anything, except collecting his rents in
Atlanta. But ho knows whereof he is
speaking when he strikes Independerti.
He knows that iho only hope of
bis black gang in Georgia lies in a
coalition wi'b those so-called Indexoi-
■ients. There never was in the history of
this country a greater misnomer applied
to a party than this nama Independent tas
recently given rise to. For they are as
dependant upon the “nigger” and scala
wag for success us tha bog is upon filth
and mire for comfort. Even if this par
ty happens to bs pure in its origin—in
the motives of its present leadsrs if they
have any—yet it cannot remain pnre in
its progreit; for no party can do this and
rely tor support upon ignorance and cor
ruption. We are iuolined to think, how
ever, that Jonathan is indulging in a
forlorn hope. He is simply drowning,
politically, and catching at a straw. If
ibe coalition he apprehends is formed,
wc predict that tho trno Democracy of
Georgia will give it such Qn overwhelm
ing blow that it will riss no mere to dit-
turb honest men.
