Telegraph & Messenger,
TUE8DAY MORNING. NOV. 7, 1871.
Exit Kryxxy!
Oar good*; meditation* were much saddened
by the snnoaneement made la the Washington
telegrams of the night before, that we were to
give np Krjxsnowaki, that sweet saint of in-
tenaeet lollty and broken Engliah who baa been
aoperriaing the collection of the Federal re To
nne in this State for two or three years past
We could hare stood almost any other blow, but
this quite unmans us. Kryzxy was one of our
pets—be was so loyi and so honest Why, they
said when ho oame oat here, that the whisky
ring in New York dly had caused his remoral
from that held because they couldn't buy him.
Such stubborn rirture was preposterous—it was
disloyal, and proper representation being made
*at Waahington of the enormity of his principles,
be was exiled to Georgia to cultirate the man
and brother and make himself generally useful
as a man of all work for Grant This was his
reputation as we beard it when first our eyes
were blessed with sight of him.
Well, he did cultirate Sambo, sure enough,
proring himself one of the meanest, most sin-
dietire and unscrupulous of all the gang of Bad-
ioal incendiaries and malignants erer romited
upon Southern aoit We bare bad some little
experience with this sort of cattle, but Kryzxy
topped them all in the lack of erery character,
iatio that ought to belong to an official whose
business it was to show, sometimes, and after
some sort of fashion, that he was the serrant of
a gorernment and not of a party, exclusirely.
Ilia last appearance as one of Bullock's election
Inspectors in this city last December, is, doubt
less, well remembered by our citizens; when,
by bis unblushing, audacious efforts to innte
frauds upon the ballot box by the negroes, he
so outraged public sentiment as almost to incur
personal punishment at the hands of those who
witnessed his oondoct Since then we lure not
beard much of him, but now be burets upon
our tear-filled eyes minus bis scalp, with a New
Hampshire carpet-bagger in the distance hold
ing it np and executing a triumphant war dance
in jubilation over his victory. And saddest of all,
the explanation is that Kryzxy was suapdcted of
"financial irregnlarlUea!" Weahail never get over
thal. That a man ao thoroughly hateful in every
other respect should turn out to bo a developer,
too, is more than we can stand. Farewell, Kryz*
zy! and may the devil fly array with you.
Turner on tbe Rampage,
A report oomes from Atlanta that "Bov. H.
* 11. Tumor," maddened by the loss of his seat in
the House from this county, and swearing ven
geance against Georgia, rushed before the Ku-
kluz Committee in Atlanta, and exhausted his
malioe, impudence end capacity for falsehood
in “a testifying speech" Iwfore that body. Tur
ner's evidence, if admitted to the mass of gar
bage which the committee has gathered, will
set the whole collection in a ferment and nan-
aaate ail honest men. We shall not attempt to
rival the American Union and other pipers of
Turner's own party in the Sonlh, in their expo
sition* of tho character of this “wretched nig
ger.” They bare held him np sufficiently as
tit representatire of whatever it impudent,
mendacious, hypocritical, leeberons and dis
honest—the impersonation of a Northern car
pet-bag negro bummer, who has "made his
pilo” by deceiving, imposing and preying upon
those of bis own oolor in Georgia who srere ig
norant enongb to be deluded by his clumsy raw
eality.
The decision which cost Turner and bis fel
low members their seats in the House from
Bibb oounly was so patently just and inevitable,
that in the original list ot members, prepared
by the Secretary of State, doubtless under the
direction of Bnllook, they were never named.
The names of the ooutestants (Messrs. Boss,
Nutting and Baoon) were put npon that official
list, but subsequently erased, and those of Tnr-
ner, Fitzpatrick and Pollock inserted.* But we
doubt if the latter ever held certificates of elec
tion—or held them before Bullock's flight. The
frauds were so notorious—the testimony elieited
in the official canvass so conclusive, that the de
oision waa a foregone ooncluaion.
A t'aurus IVoinliiallon.
We feel warranted in saying that there is no
good ground, whatever, to justify the very com-
mou apprehension of a legislative caucus nom.
{nation of Governor in ovent a bill ordering the
eleotion shall pass that body. Such a nomina
tion although, perhaps, in the ontset, favored
by a few member* under the idea that there
would not be time to assemble a State Conven
tion, really has no supporters now; and the
final passage of the law will be followed at onoe
by a call for a State Convention by the Chair
man of ths State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, who has been invested by the Committee
with full authority for that purpose should the
contingency arise.
We hope there will be no difficnlty in the pas
sage of the bill, or opposition to it by the act
ing Governor. Should Mr. Conley oppose it,
however, it must run the gauntlet of an Execu
tive veto, and that might be fatal to the bill in
the Senate. We shall see.
Messrs. Clifford Anderson and A. O.
llaeon.
The action ot those gentlemen in consenting
to serve as oocnael for the State in the late lease
of tho Macon and Western Bailroad bv the
Georgia Central has been subject to animadver
sion in several instances. We propose to show
the injostioe of these strictures; A barrister
or legal practitioner who solicits publio patron
age, tenders his services to the oomm unity at
large. He ia not in the pay or employment of
any special individual, eitizsn, or corporation
Nor has the politics, color, or antecedents of bis
client any connection with bis duties ia the
premises. Hia legal acumen and abilities are
simply offered to all who have need of them and
are willing to pty the customary fee. To assume
the ooutrery would, in effect, rule out all par
sons suspected or charged with criminal of
fenses from the benefits of counsel. Indeed, it
ia impossible to arrive at a correct judgment
of tho guilt or innocence of any individual or
the justice of any litigated question npon ex
parte testimony. How, then, can aueh matters
be determined, save by the employment of law
yers on both aides ?
Wo bold then, so long as the professional
card of a practitioner ia before the public, he
has no right from mere prejudice or disinclina
tion to refuse his legal aervioes to any client,
unless the uoparalled enormity of the case be
patent npon its face.
In tho instance referred to, the head and front
of the pretended offence is that Bullock was a
Kadi cal, and it waa giving aid and comfort to
that party by consenting to act as bis counsel.
In point of fact, Messrs. Anderson and Bacon
were not retained by Bollock himself, but were
selected under authority of the State by Messrs.
Kisbeta A Jackson and Whittle A Guatin, coun
sel for the complainants, to aid in the prosecn-
tion of the case.
We regard this, however, as entirely a sec-
ondary question. A former decision of the Su
preme Court, sustained by the opinion of learned
counsel, and backed np after elaborate argu
ment by tbe written decision of Judge Alexan
der, avera that the State of Georgia was an in
forested party in this suit. Such being tbe fact,
was the circumstance that ths Executive chanced
to be a Badical sufficient reason to estop all in
telligent counsel from esponsing tbe cause of
tbeir native State?
We are not prepared to subscribe to any
such illiberal dogma. Intolerance is alike rep
rehensible in polities aa well as religion, and
we submit that too often is the real cause of
progress and liberty cramped and retarded by
the narrow prejudices and bigotry of those who
assume to be zealous in their behalf.
Messrs. Anderson and Bacon are as true
Democrats, and as firmty wedded to tbe inter
ests of Georgia aa any of her sons. They are
men “tans pear—tans reproehe.” The above
explanation of their eourao in tbe late suit waa
made without solicitation, and as a matter of
sheer joatiee to two of our most worthy citizens.
'Hie Gnberiiatorinl Question.
Tbe Atlanta New Era moderates its tone on
the Gubernatorial Question, and says:
The resignation of Gov. Bollock took effect
on Monday, the 30th day of October—two days
before the members elect of the present Gene
ral Assembly convoked for tbe purpose of organ
ization. It was therefore two days before the
present Legislature bad a legal existence. It
was, then, during the legal existenoe of the old
Senate, of which Mr. Gonley was President, and
of which he ia still a member, be having been
elected for the long term.
Ucder these circumstances, the new Legisla
ture decided that Mr. Conley, and not tbe new
President of the Senate, is ex offieio Governor,
entitled to exercise tbe duties of the Executive,
until a successor can be elected and qualified.
We think that, under all the circumstances,
an election to fill the unexpired term meets with
objection from no one, except only aa a legal
question growing ont of Article IV, Section II,
Paragraph II of the Const imtion. Nor is this
detect peculiar to the nets Constitution of tbe
State, adopted in J8C8. Tbe name danse, in
identically the same words, occurs in the old
Constitution, Article HI, Section II, Paragraph
II.
How to get round this constitutional barrier
is now the question. In our opinion it cannot
bo done except npon the hypothesis that the ex
traordinary emergency justifies the Legislature
in jnmping over tbe constitutional obstruction.
Whether tbe necessities of the ease will justify
this, is, as we think, tbe only practical question
now involved. During tbe past history of
Georgia, no less than four Presidents ot the
Senate became, ex offieio, Governor of the State;
and all these served out tbe terms for which
their predecessors were elected. Mr. Conley
makes the filth; but whether the precedents in
the case of the four vacancies mentioned will
be followed, or a new election ordered, will, ot
coarse, depend upon what the Legislatnrn con
ceives to be tbe necessities of tbe case. Should
in .their opinion, this necessity override tbe
constitutional barrier to the immediate quaiifi
cation of a successor, as well as tbe precedents
in tbe case of Governors Emanuel, Irwin, Bahun
and Talbot, then an eleetion will be ordered to
take place sometime in December next.
The constitutional question we have hereto
fore allnded to. It iB so deficient in merit as
barely to deserve grave consideration. Both
the old and the new constitutions of Georgia
left this question of ordering tbe eleetion of a
Governor to fill an nnexpired term, or of per
mitting the President of the Senate (as acting
Governor) to fill out that term, entirely to the
discretion of the Legislature. They can either
order an election or refrain from ordering it,
as the publio interests in their judgment re
quire.
In this esse, the disposition to order a new
election is naturally universal among the Dem
ocrats—and why? The State has been well-
nigh financially ruined by an administration in
which Mr. Conley was an important function
ary. A Governor has just fled from publio
justice with whom Mr. Conley is well under
stood to bold tho most intimate personal, as he
is acknowledged to hold tbe closest party and
official, relations. Messrs. Bollock and Conley
have moved hand in band in the whole lament
able course of State maladpiniatration which
plunged the State of Georgia (but lately almost
free of debt) into sea of financial embarrass
ments which will mortgage the labor of the
people for the next generation. Is it to be ex
pected that be can or will work heartily to de
tect and remedy the wrong—to pnnish fraud
and extravagance, and to return to the era of a
strict economy and accountability ?
Whatever Mr. Conley may think to be his of
ficii rights in the esse under the constitution,
is not too much to ssy that, under these cir
cumstances, a high-minded and patriotic man
should bo the last to insist on the virtual pro
traction of a State administration abandoned by
its chief as incapable of defence or explanation.
He shonld be eager, under such circumstances,
to retnrn a trust devolved npon him by the
constitution, to the people.

Cnrpct-ilnglMin In Wall Street
It will be seen by the morning dispatches,
that the carpet-bag plunderers of South Caro
lina are in New York endeavoring to cover np
their tracks and secure tbeir plunder. Accord
ing to the World, who has looked into the mat
ter, over twenty millions of State bonds have
been printed and fraudulently issued, for the
negotiation of which, the financial agent holds
claims against the 8tate to the amount of $4,
000,000. Scott issues a manifesto claiming that
nine millions ot these bonds have never been
signed or issued; but who can believe a word
of what he sayi ? We fear the old State is gone
up at last—a victim alike to Badioal fraud and
tyranDy. The best wo can hope for is, that the
money loss will fall on tbe K*diesis who back
such wholesale swindling with government bay
onets. Surely the devil of fraud and villainy
has broke loose, and is raging open-mouthed all
over the eountry.
Et-rcnoxs To-Dax.—Elections will be held in
the following States to-day ■ Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,
Mississippi, Illinois, Wisoonsin, and Minnesota.
In Massachusetts, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, and Maryland, a full State ticket, in
cluding Governor, and also members of the
Legislature, will be chosen. In New York, State
officers—exoept Governor—and members of tbe
Legislature will he eleoted. Mississippi and
Virginia will elect Legislative and county offi J
ears, and Illinois a Congressman at large to ill
Senator Logan's vacancy, will be elected, and
also a Congressman from the 6th district to fill
a vscaaccy caused by resignation of the member
elected last year.
Ciovxa Ctrax or Cixcxa.—The Knoxville
Press and Herald contains a letter from A. B.
Watkins, of Brooks county, Ga., to Msj. D. A.
Carpenter, of that city, atatiog that a lady of
Brooks county bad been completely cured of a
cancer on her right cheek, of eighteen years’
■tending, by applying a decoction of clover twice
• day and drinking a quart of the decoction each
day. Mr. Watkins bad ay plied to Maj. Carpen-
ter for the clover which worked this cure, and
»o* writes again for five Oliver sufferers in th.t
vicinity. Ws assume that it ia the oommon red
clover, although the paper fails to mention the
species, or whether it was dry or green.

dispatohes of last Friday from Washington, say:
Parties who left Salt Lake on Saturday ar
rived here to-day, and bare communicated to
Government officials some interesting facts
connected with the situation there. They state
that tbe prosecution of the polygamists ia in
juring business very much, that Eastern oapi.

ests arc leaving, and that tbe Gentiles are cur
tailing tbeir business operations and sending
their wives and children to places of safety. It
added that the Government baa recently sold
these very Mormons old muskets for a dollar
apieoe, and that if war oomes, the Mormons will
present a formidable front, though it is not im-
irobable that they msy all emigrate to Mexioo.
t ia stated that not twenty Gentiles in Utah
favor the prosecution ot the Mormons, and that
even the Federal military authorities are indif
ferent to it on the surface, and at heart opposed
it. These representations will have no effect,
it was decided in the Cabinet meeting on
Tuesday to continue the present policy.
Gov. Bullock.—The Washington dispatches
the Western papers contain tbe following:
Wasuxngton, November 3 —Gov. Bollock
doesn’t seem to be meeting with any greater en
couragement at the bands of the Bepublicans in
New York than he did here. While in ronver-
Uon with a distinguished Republican Senator
this city, a few days since, he said that he
was .boat to resign, in order to escape the Derse-
cutiona of his enemies. Tbe reply made to him
was that, if be was innocent *be would have
nothing.to fear and especially with the National
Administration to back him and to afford him
both protection and redress. By fleeing from
justice Baliock has disgusted what few influen
tial friends he had here, and his oondoct since
his abdication has convinced the most skeptical
that he is guilty of all the charges preferred
against him by the indignant people of Georgia.

E. F. Blodgett, son of CapL Foster Blodgett,
who was General Purchasing Agent for the
Western and Atlantie Bailroad during tbe Blod
gett administration, was arrested and brought
before Judge W. M. Butt. Major McCalla
swore, in the affidavit, that from tie boat of his
knowledge and belief, be was a cheat and awin-
dter in that: On the 13th and 2Gth September,

28'h December, 18T0, be did, by and through
artful means and deceitin' practices, obtain
from tho Treasury of the Western and Atlantio
Bailroad $7,411 29. The prisoner waived ex

brought to thia city and lodged in jail day be
fore yesterday. The prisoners were brought
before United States Commissioner Smith, for

Gen. Toombs Inlervleiveu Again.
H. J. Bedfield, correspondent of tbe Cincin.
nati Commercial, while in Atlanta n few weeks
since, Interviewed General Toouibs. From his
report we extract as follows:
I asked him abont tbe reported interview be
bad a few months ago with tb? correspondent
of the New York Tribune.
"Ob,* said he, as he tossed back his lonj:
locks, displaying a forehead broad, high ant
foil, “ob, that waa two-thirds lies. I saw at a
glance that the correspondent was a stupid fel
low, and asked him if he wasn't afraid to he in
a Ku-klox district. A man was pointed ont to
him on tbe street as being the Grand Cyclops of
tbe Kn-klnx in Georgia. The whole thing was a
joke. A while before some boyy. drunkards and
negroes got into a little row down abont the
depot, but it didn't amonnt to anything, no
harm was done exoept perhaps a nigger or two
waa kilted, and at that time the man that we
Minted ont as the grand commander of the Ku-
dux hid behind a cotton bole. The commander
Baid that he would protect the Tribune corres
pondent from all violence, and judging from the
haste he made to protect himself behind a cot
ton bale, he was a fit subject to protect others.
After a conversation with tbe correspondent, I
was on my wsy home when I met him on the
street, and he gave me a letter of introduction
from a friend in Augusta, having previously for
gotten it. I then tock him home to tea with
me.”
Although General Toombs did not say so in
ao many words, I judge that what he said on
that occasion, and which has been so widely
read, waa thrown ont for ban combe. It might
have been his intention to make a vivid itnpres.
■ion on the correspondent's mind as to the evils
of the hoar, and in this he oertainly succeeded.
ah opxh question.
I asked him abont the constitutional amend
ments, expecting him to smite them with fear
ful violence, bnt he did not.
“Aa to the amendments,” he said, “and other
matters that the party cannot agree npon, let
them be left as open questions subject to fattire
discussion. We have numerous instances of
this in England. Tbe whole thing can remain
statu quo nntil the party ia ready to agree, one
way or tbe other.”
This, I believe, ia Andy Johnson’s plan. He
don’t believe in the Democratic party fretting
away its strength in quarreling about that
which it baa not the power to decide one way
or tbe other at present Leave the question
open, and go to battle on something else. Cer
tainly there is plenty to fight abont.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I think

tary terms in which my name is suggested, in

heretofore done to the few partial friends who
have approached me on the subject—that I am
not only ineligible, bnt esnnot under any cir
cumstances, consent to bo a candidate.
Very respectfully,

Who is the Lias?—The Tribune, of Friday,

The New Yotk Herald, of Friday, has the fol
lowing :
Wa Kington, November 2,1871.
Attorney General Akerman had a long con
ference today with the Secretary of State and
• fierward with the President. The subjects of
tbe interviews was, of course, the everlasting
Ku Max question, involving the punishment of
the pana>us recently arrested in Sjuth Carolina,
and"perhaps the promulgation of a new procla
mation it waa the original intention of the
Goveri rum to tallow np the suspension of the
habeas corpse i n the nine oonnties of South
Carolina wi it.. similar movement npon North
ern Georgia, and aa most of the young men sus
pected of Ku-klnx affinities who ran away from
the former State took np their abode in tbe lat
ter, it is not improbable that they will be soon
on tbe move onee more.
Akerman is not a man of sufficient calibre to
engage the a'teotion of tho President for two
hours in one day, unless important matters are
to be decided in which the Executive needs all
the information his law adviser can afford him.
Just at this moment it is a matter ot great in
terest aa to what the President knows or thinks
he knows abont the Ku-klnx. *
It is asserted by those who ought to know
something of tbe character of the information
communicated from time to time to the Execu
tive that be has much more direct knowledge on
this snbjeet than even that possessed by the
Congressional Committee. Gentlemen of high
character, formerly officers in onr army, who
were and are even now living in the South,
having learned through their supposed Demo
cratic sympathies important facts relative to the
secret purposes of this organization, have made
him acquaintt d with the danger to its fullest
extent.
Tbe officer* of the United States Secret Ser
vice have been and still are very active in fer-
reting out tbe Man. The danger to which they arc
exposed in this servioe renders it necessary that
great cantion be exercised in making their ope
rations pnblic. These officersare not known to
each other, and aa a consequence it often hap
pens that the most efficient men are reported by
others as being Kn-Mnx chiefs. It will be shown
when the facts all come out, that the Ku-klnx
in South Carolina have been largely famished
with arms from Northern sources. It is even
asserted that an examination of the shipments
from the anus mannfactarine companies of the
North, and especially of New York, for the last
two years, will show a great activity in tho
Southern trade.
It is the opinion of the administration and
those who sustain its policy of repression that
it ia the design of the Invisible Empire to at
tempt the repossession by the old rebel element,
first, of the several Southern States by the de
moralization, through terror, outrage and mur
der, of the party sustaining reconstruction and
its results, and s<.cundly, by similar means, but
more general and systematic in character, to
force every Southern State to vote against the
Bepnblican Presidential nominee, and thns re
store to them control of their local and State
affairs and the inauguration of tbeir party asso
ciates in the government
A contingency for which they have undoubt
edly worked ia, in the event of Congress refus
ing to connt electoral votes gained by such a
palpable system of terror and violence as the
Kn-klnx will inaugurate, to at once raise the
standard of revolution within the Union, de
claring that tbe refusal is only a step in a pre
arranged plan to keep the power in tbe hands
of the how dominant party. There is no doubt
in tbe minds of tbe best informed persons here
who have investigated tbe character and pur.
poses of this conspiracy that such a design as
that indicated is seriously contemplated.
Opinions like these have influenced the course
of the President toward South Carolina, and
have led also to the doom which is now impend
ing ever Georgia. It is giTen out that the mean
ing of the supplementary proclamation, which
is now in preparation, ia to correct the blander
by which Union county, South Carolina, was
iuclnded in tbe repressive edict instesd of Ma
rion, but there is no doubt that tho prediction
in the ilrrald some days ago that Georgia was
the next Stute in order will be verified in a day
or two, and other sections will bo treated in the
same way, as the President thinks the occasion
may require. Senator Scott is now here and at
work, and be is as sternly in favor of strong
measures as ever.

HEnOEIAL.
Tho committee to whom was referred Ihe bus
iness of reporting resolutions in honor of the
memory of the Hon. Jndge Haznnmq deoeaed,
beg leave to submit the following:
Bobzbt Y. Haedeuan was born in Oglethorpe
county, on the 2Gth April, in the year 1800, and
expired at his residenoe in Jones county, on the
19th May, 1871. His early life was a constant
struggle with adversity, but naturally energetio
and spirited, instead of yielding in inglorious
weakness to tbe difficulties and embarrassments
of his sitnatieD, he made them only the means
of developing the noble qualities which distin
guished his manhood. His advantages of edu
cation at that early period were such only aa
could be had at tbe county academy. Yet he
in a great measure supplied tbe deficiencies of
his school by asaidious and untiring application.
He was a conspicuous example of a solf-mado.
man.
He studied law in Lexington at the office ot
Stephen Upson, an eminent lawyer of his day,
and bis character as a lawyer was moulded by
tbe example and influence of his preceptor, and
the other distinguished jurists and statesmen,
to-wit: Cobb, Gilmer and Crawford, who lived
abont Lexington, and somo of whom were then
members of the Northern Circuit, but admitted
to tbe bar at Washington, Wilkes eoonty. under
the celebrated Judge Dooly, he soon located
himself at Clinton, Jones county, at and abont
which place ha resided up to tire period of his
death. Tbe people of his county held him in
the highest estimation for his superior excel
lence as a lawyer and friend and neighbor, and
delighted to honor him.
In 1853 he was appointed by Gov. Johnson to
fill the nnexpired term of Jndge Cone on the
bench of this circuit, and was afterwards elected
by the Legislature for the next succeeding term.
Although the peer of bis cotemporaries,Dawson,
Niabet,! Meriwether, Clone, and Hill, as a law-
er, yet ha was more distinguished as a judge.
His power of grasping the principles of a case
seemed to be almost intuitive; and the law nn-
der his administration was made to realize its
intention in being made to subserve the pur
poses of justioe and fair dealing without regard
to the perrons in litigation.
Withal Judge Hardeman was modest, truth
ful, brave and generous, and there was no mem.
ber of the bar more abounding in all those qual
ities of mind and heart on the circuit Tbe im
pression made by the life of our distinguished
friend npon the bar and the country, is most
honorable to his memory and a priceless heri
tage to his bereaved friends.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the loss
of the Bar and State in the death of the Hon
orable Robert Y. Hardeman.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with
tbe family of the deceased in their rffliction, and
tender to them this exprc.sion of onr condo
lence.
Resolved, That those resolutions be spread
npon the minntes of this oourt in honor of the
memory of the deceased, and a copy of the
same be made out by the Clerk and forwarded
to the family. Juxius Wingfield,
