Strike the balance between Ibe debits and cred

Thanks to the good Provldenoe of God, we

eral Government is not prepared to go, fn order
to gorge their partisans In the Sonth with the

end goed government in these Southern States
to he dreaded above all others. And next to
Ibis is division among orm elves. The example
of Alabama, which in lesa than a year of noed-

Contrary to onr anticipations when the Nat-
ting Loan Bill passed, we have no donbt that
all lbs money tbe immediate neceMities of the
8Uta demand will be raised by domeatlo sub

ever be necessitated to go beyond her own

financier! may therefore Indulge their own
ideas and conclusions abont tbe illegal and die
credited bonds. We know Urey, at least, are
not going to sacrifioe any of onr acknowledged
and honest obligations, and in respeot to the
tfcera we have no donbt that Georgia will do

merit very little consideration, it la true, bnt

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Stats Bote Mittxss —The Atlanta Cooati-
tntion hat the following on this subject:
Sensational accounts have appeared retailing
rumors in regard to tba State Boad manage-
meet.
These aooonnt* report how General McBae,
tbe Superintendent, wrote a letter, nnocmpli-
meotary to ex-Governor Brown, the President,
and the letter came into the Preeideet's hands
very myaterion-ly; >h*t the President oalled the
Sopennieodenl'a attention to the Utter, and the
Bnpenntendent noed abusive language to the
President. Tbe rtnpennteudeof, it ia ea:d. at
first decided to resign, bnt afterwards deter
mined to hold on nnui the 20th, when the lea-
see# meet.
Amid ell this rumor one faet stands ont
prominently, and that ia that President Brown,
Huperintendeot McBae, >fr. Hill. Mr- Peters,
and all others likely tn know, positively decline
id make any eratemenU abont the matter, re
fo»e to furnish any information, and General
McBae thinks it proper for tbe papers to wait
until given information by tbe patties.
This would undoubtedly be the proper course,
in justice to all parties. It often happona that
mi«anderaun.ling* rntceptible of settlement
become Incurable antagonism* through untimely
publicity. In this way damage ia frequently
done that ia irreparable.
It ia proper to atatn that another version of
tbe interview between (he President and Super
intendent in currant, whloh represents that no
dito-.nrte.iOH language was n»ed on either aide,
and which version pnt- both parties in a mneh
more oreditable attitude.
When the parties choose to iofrrm the public
of Ike real ht.’u* of the mutter, then we shall
give it.
Another sensational aeeouot represents Mr
Sonfleld, tbe preprint ir of the rolling mill here,
aa ottering very grave charges against President
Brown, lie, aocordiog to tbe aooonnt, ha* beeo
foroing Mr. Scofield to nne bi* coal which don’t
•nit is porpoa*a. He i* also charged witbtakiog
from Mr. Sor field a dollar parlor, on iron rolled
for him, and with threatening Mr. Scofield to
withdraw the road's patronage nnlesa Mr. Sco
field would two hia coal.
There are grave matter*, and it isdneto Gov.
Brown to say that he represent* a different etate
of facta entirely, and thinks Mr, Soofield haa
no# been correctly noders*ood.
We do not dedre to do either party injustice,
and shall therefore await the presentation of
both aides.
If Mr. Soofield is correotly reported and hia
statements are true, Preeldent Brown deserves
the oensnre of the pnhlio. If Mr. Scofield ha*
incorrectly stated the feet* he is to be oen.urrd.
It ia jnat to withhold judgment until the fall
sod real facta can be obtained.

wore withdrawn.
ErrxcTor MtxnrtcrOBCto.—The Colnmbna
Snn says onr factories have taken thus far C208
bales of cotton, against 4911 I ft it year. If this
ootton bad been sold at 18 cents per pound it
wonld have realized $558,720. It waa posted
through onr mill*, its rains trebled, and sold to
the oonntry North, Sonth, Eaat and West for

and retains the money here, beoanae aha haa tho

quantities of ocitton are destroyed, bnt the com

A Cotoksh Stoxt.—Aa a gentleman of onr
town, says tbe Dalton Citizen of Friday, was
paaaing np Thornton avenno a few days ago,
be saw a large hawk high np in tbe air, flying
at a rapid rate, followed by • little army of
martin*. When tbe bird approaobed nearer be
noticed that it bad something in Its talons, and
making a vlgorona motion at it with his nm-
btella, it let go its prey, whloh, falling to the
ground close at hia feet with a heavy thnmp, he
found to be a half grown chicken, apparently
dead. He oarrled the chick home, and though
it had a frightful wound near (he head and in
the back, made by the villainona olawa of tbe
hawk, sad bad mala a descent of at least one
hundred and fifty faet before it stmok the
ground, strange to aay it ia now alive and doing
well, with tbe promiee of a long life, provided
no ohiokcu-loving preaoher forces an untimely
deoapitation.
A occru of Ellaville lovora were married in
tbe cemetery at that plaoe last week. The old
folks were opposed to the match, and the yonng
people went to the grave yard for the pnrporo
of getting the "dead-wood" on them. Thera
were no cards to speak of.
Me. STxrnxsB on tux Decision op the Ho
man e Cocbt or thx United States on the En
raxcxaiENT Acre.—Mr. Stephen*, in the Atlanta
Snn of the 15tb, aay* professional engtgoments
and other pressing dntiea have prevented ns
from commenting, at an earlier day, npon the
decision of the Snpreme Oonrt of tbe United
States, published by ns last week, and which is
now referred to in i nr esptioa.
At this time we can only briefly say of this
decision—
1st. No distinction in this case is made by the
Oonrt between the 18th, 14lh and 15th Amend
ments of the Oonstitntion. No question aa to
the validity of the latter two, arising from the
mode and manner of their proposed ratifica
tion or proclamation, was raised either in the
oonrt below or above.
In this decision, therefore, they are all treated
alike and all aasnmed to b» equally binding and
obligatory as parts of the Federal Constitution.
Si. Tho decision assuming that tbe three
amendmentsbave all been properly incorporated
aa part* of the organio law, yet clearly main
tains that they have effected no essential change
In the situation of ths Government—that they
have only imposed a faw more voluntary re
straint* npon tbe States aa Statea, with the del
egation of a few additional powers to ths Fede
ral Goverment.
It dearly maintr.ina throughout, that the
States, aa Bute*, are joat as sovereign in all
their reserved rights aa they were before the
adoption of these amendment*; and that among
these unquestionably reserved righto is tali
power oc the part of eaeh Slate to regulate and
control all the civil relations of its citizens in all
mature not embraoed in the now prohibitions
on the States aa State*; jnat aa amply and com
pletely aa before these amendment* were pro.
posed. This is the understanding of the pur-
port and meaning of the decision.
3d. From all this we infer if the ease la aver
made, that tbe asms oonrt will hold that al;
those provisions of the Enforcement AcU of
Congress.,whioh interfere with the internal poli
cy of the SUtee represented in tbe government
of 1U oitiaenN. not coming within the purview
end express object* of the new prohibitions on
the States, are nneonatttntional, null and void.
If onr inferenoe be correct, then most of those
infamons acta, under which Louisians is now
groaning, will be removed by their appeal to
the peaoefol instrumentalities of tho Constitu
tion wbioh haa ever been so persistently urged
by the M Bourbon Bevolntlonary Democracy."
This decision, aa we understand it, oovere
and annliica every position of the brother of
the writer of this—who was the “light of hia
life ”—in hia argument on the oonatrnotion of
the 15th Amendment, in hia own defenae be
fore the Federal Commissioner in Maoon, Ga.,
in 1871.
He and we, and others who believed with os,
were then held np aa “impraotioable”—and as
“Bevolntionary Democrats," and aa “Bour
bons" who ooold “loam nothing and forgot
nothing."
Verily, the world does move; and some peo
pie may learn something it others do not Whst
friend of eonstitntional liberty, now In *11 thi*
oonntry. does cot see that the unrest way of
notifying all aberations in the Government, ia

principles on whloh it ia founded.

Hosannah S *W|, 14th 1 ,
A few days linos mention waa made in onr
Georgia Affa’ni of the arrest of lieo. W. Wilbur
hear Reynold* by Colombo* officers, on the
charge of fraudulent transactions in Boston.
He waa brought here by the Colnmbas offi.-islt
end turned over to two Boston detective* who
hid preceded them from Colombo*. The de
tective* left with their prisoner for Beaton yes
terday afternoon.
We had an inUrview yesterday with Mr. M.
W. Morphy, Chief of Polios, and Gapt. W. J.
Gaah, of Ooiombna, and obtained from them the
following correct
STATEMENT
of the arrest of Mr. Wilbor and of the charge
against him: Oo the 10th insUnt, the above
otfioera arrested tbe aoooHed at hia wife’s plan
tation, on Horae Greek, near Ueynolds, on the
Smthweetern U rilro&l. and telegraphed the (sot
to Boston del.otives, Jjnee and Pmkham, who
era in Ooinmboa awaiting their report. Mr.
Wtlbnr, being apparently quite a respectable
g-r,firman, the officers did not think it necessa
ry to handcuff him, bnt, on tbe contrary, al
lowed him tbe liberty of tbe ear after they
star'si for Savannah, having been joined at
Beynolde by tba Boston detectives. Their oon-
•ideratioo, it appears, waa not folly deserved,
a* on their arrival at No. IS, Wilbor mods a
break from the oar and eqdeavorad to escape.
He ran about one hundred and fifty yards, tak
ing refnga in a bouse, bat was immediately
captured. The train, however, proceeded onto
(hia oity, leaving the officer* at the station in
charge of the prisoner. They come down on
the next train, reaching bars on Sunday, as
above stated.
Wilbnr waa engaged in fcutinea* at Coventry,

On. fallal to reoeive the goods aooording to

ths matter. Upon elo«e elimination they
foond that Wilbnr, three days previous to tba
oontract with them had already sold and deliv
ered these prints to a men in Bbode Island, re-
(raived the money therefor and fled to part# un
known. Dexter, Abbott k Oo. immediately

iivaa of MaaaaehneeUa, on bis took, and he was
traced to Beynolde in this State ■ ibU [
The grand jnrv belrg in session In Boston,
Dexter, Abbott A Co., preferred a charge before
that body and a tree bill waa fonnd against
Wilbnr, whereupon tlo Governor of Massachu
setts made a reqnis-lioo npon Governor Bmith.
Messrs. Jones and Pmkham at onoe started tq
Colambn*. Upon their arrival, through the in
flnenoe of Mr. G. E. Dexter, of Colnmbna, a
brother of Mr. Di xter. of the Arm of Dnter,
Abbott A Go., of Boston, every assistance waa
rendered the detectives by the authorities.
Chief of Police Morphy and Captain Ouh, of
the Colnmbna force, proceeded lo Reynolds,
arrested Wilbnr, bronght him to this oity, aa al
ready stated, sad formally delivered him to the
detectives. Wilbnr left on the Boston steamer
in their onstody yesterday, and it ia very prob
able that he will torn np in the penitentiary.
Wilbnr ia a Rhode Island man by birth, and
oame to Georgia some years since, subsequently
marrying an estimable lady near Tennill, pos
sessed of considerable property. He soon man
aged to get oontrol of the property and. desert

St. Loafs Congreweloiial Convention
The first day’s proceeding* of this body wore
an address of welcome from Mayor Brown of
;. Louis and speeches from Governor Wood-
son, Hon. Henry T. Blow, Hon. E. O. Slannard
and General Bassey of New Orleans. Tbe
points urged were the necessity of improve
ments in the navigation of the Miraisalppl
river, and of oheap inland water routes of trans
portation to the Atlantie. Mr. Stannard says:
Million* of tons of breadttnfift are waited in
Western fl-ldi or oomramed for fnel, while mnl-
titnd-s in Eintern oitiea and foreign lands suf
fer for wood. The Western farmer obtains bat
abont fifteen cents per bnshel for oorn, while
the ronanmer in the Eist has to pay sixty-five
oan is for it. The former Is not reimbursed the
aolual ooit of prodaotion, while the asst of
living to the consumer is exoeaatTS end bur
densome. AU the profits of prodaotion, and
more, too. are demanded for tranaportation. The
prodnoer ia impoverished, commerce languishes
and binktnpity threatens the entire oonntry,
and mast easae, unless relief is afforded from
the exioiions of tyrannloal monopolies. A
system of oanala south of the freezing line
wonld afford great relief both in oonUnnity of
transit and oheapneia, and wonld hold the
railroad* to a uniform and lower rate of charges.
Tba James river and Kanawha, Atlantic and
Great Western and Fort St. FhilHpp* oaBate
sbonld be oompleted without delay. Bnt, not
withstanding their completion wonld be almost
eqnivalent to a daplioation of the present ton
nage capaoity of all tbe tmnk railways, still the
neceaaitiea of the country's rapidly inoreasing
oommeroe wonld not bo mat, and the demand
for more and cheaper facilities wonld bo in
creasing. He showed from statiatioa that by
far the greateet increase fn popnlation, agri
cultural and manufaotnred products daring the
peat decade occurred in the West, and that the
present and fatnre demand for increased trans
portation faoilitiea is and wonld be in the Mis
sissippi Valley.
a arruBN to xatuhx.
He then entered into a comparison of the eoet
of railroad, canal, sea, lake and river transpor
tation. and showed that the river transit ia 100
per cent cheaper than canal and nearly 500 per
oent. cheaper than railroad, and asked, Does
not this fact suggest tbe solution of the ques
tion under discussion ? Tbe wine of grain to
prodaoer Is the prioe paid in Liverpool, leas
the coat of transit. Ha then showed that grain
can be laid down in Liverpool via tho Missis
sippi river and New Orleans 16 cents cheaper
per bushel than via New Fork, and that if the
advantages of river transit eonld be folly used,
the exports from tbe Mississippi valley wonld
soon tom tbe baUnea of trade in onr favor, and
gold wonld flow from tbe old to the new rather
than as now from the new to tho old world. He
then slated why the advantages of cheap tran-
ait on the Mississippi river could not be folly
realized by explaining the obstructions at ita
month, the inadequacy of water on the bar, eta.,
and cited the faet that daring the March and
April just passed, nearly fifty Teasels were
obliged to anohor off the month of tho river and
wait from two to throe weeks for the totally in
adequate government dredging boat to ont a
channel through tbe bar before they ooold reach
the deep water of the river. Let this obetruo-
tlon b 3 removed, and the Mississippi river will
rive to the ocean# a tonnage equal to that of
the whole world besides. Leas than half tbe
amount of money, worse than wasted, about the
amount required to subsidise x single Paoifie
railroad, wonld give the Mississippi river a
depth of water sufficient to allow vessel* con
structed far the purpose to sail from Liverpool
to St. Ionia. If this ware accomplished wheat
could be transported from the Mississippi val
ley to Liverpool at 8 cent* per bnshel cheaper
than from the BaUie, and IS oent* obeaper than
from the Blank Sea. Mr. Sboiiard waa very at
tentively listened to and frequently applauded.

The Core tf Santa Craz.
A Spanish correspondent of XtXme Sieole
gives an aooonnt of the Car List chief Santa

Oar Ctncinnntnn aa Hta Farm.
A pleasant part of President Grant's Western
tour, says a late St. Louis paper, waa a visit he
made in company with many diatingniahed
friends, to hia stock-farm, near St. Lonis. This
is tbe famous Dent farm, and on it are stabled
■ome of the President’s finest hones, while
herds of beantifnl blooded cattle range over ita
fine expanse of pasta rage. Daring the Tisit
twenty- high bred hones were led from the
stable, one by one, the President directing the
attention of Gcnar&l Harney and others to their
fine points aa they anooeasively appeared. AU
of them were in the most perfect ooodition,
their sleek skins glittering as they were led
abont. A contemporary, tn describing the
event, Bays: “Among them were a Bysdyk
Hambietonian stallion, five year# old, raised by
the President, and evidently a prime favorite,
to judge from the careful manner in whioh he
was examined by him. The new Long Island
horse Peacemaker, a reoent aooeuion to the
stnd, not yet fonr years old, and having a reoord
of 2:50 without any training, was very mneh ad
mired. Cinderella, a three-year old oolt by
Flying Cloud, and Bashaw Maid, three years
old and raised on tbe farm, are mates, and are
magnifieent horses. Beauty, a font-year old
Ethan Allen stook; Fiore, a two-year old oolt
by Legal-Tender; and Belle, a two-year old
Hambietonian, completed the list of particolar
favorites. Bashaw Maid and CindereUa were
hitehsd np, atd the President took the ribbons
and, aooompanled by one of the party, started
oat far a abort drive. The mares stepped off
elegantly, and charmed every one by the beanty
and freedom of their movements and fine action.

Editor Susannah Morning Nttct: I have no
special anxiety to assist Britons in their claim
against tbe American Government. Bat I have
an interest with all honorable men In plaolng
the reeponaibility for the destruction of Colum
bia on the proper parties. The night before
Major Geneyaf John E. Smith’s division of
Sherman's army left Savannah, the General
(John E. Smith) stated to me in conversation
that “it waa underttood by all parties, officers
and men, that when tbs Federal army crossed
the Savannah river into Sonth Carolina the offi
cers in command wonld shut their eyes and let
the men do whatever they pleated." Farther
on in the conversation, the General stated that
“wbat they had dona in Georgia waa nothiDg to
what they would do in Sonth Carolina; for they
intended to leave nothing behind them but Mm-
neyt."
When I asked what rente they wonld take be
admitted that “they wonld make a faint on Aa-
gaeta, bnt they were going straight to Colom
bia and lay Ibe damned plaoe in ashes, and
from there they wonld strike aoro3a tho country
to Charlotte.”
Similar sentiments were expressed by cum
bers of the offloetB in my presenoe whilst the
Federal army was in B&vannah. And it waa a
oommon boast amongst the rank and file that
they coaid “do wbat they pleased” when they
got into Sonth Carolina.
It miy be very convenient for these Federal
Generals to “forget” what was understood at
that time; bnt none know better than them
selves that nnwrltten understanding between
officers and men, that when their army got in
to Sonth Carolina the officers were to shot their
eyes and the men were to do a* they pleased,
and “that damned place (Celnmbia) was to be
laid in ashes,” and with equal humanity Charles
ton was to be “sowed in salt.”
Gen. John E. Smith’s headquarter* were
at my residence. He farther remarked “It
might look like telling secrets abont onr move
ments ; bnt a good part of the army ia already
on tbe move, and it makes very little difference
who knowa where we are going as they (the
Confederates) oan’t concentrate fast enough
now to Btop ns." L. A. Faluoant.

The moat -enriooa ceremony knowa to the
Esquimaux, aaye Dr. Hayes in Mr lecture, ia,
perhaps, that of marriage. It ia done thna:
When a boy kills a polar bear, it ia consid
ered sufficient proof of his ability to maintain
a family; he is therefore told to go and catch
a wife. Watching his opportunity at night
time, ha pounoea npon a victim, and attempts
to carry her off; she, however, struggles and
shrieks, until she haa oollected around her a
group of sympathisers. She then turns npon
her captor, and bites and scratches until he is
oampeUed to release her; then die darts into
tte crowd end attempts to escape; he follows,
bat not uamclasted. 1
All the old women take aoourgee of dried
seal akin and flagellate him unmercifully as he
passes, miking at the same time every effort to
arrest him in his course. If, despite these little
impedimenta in matrimonial bliss, he should
cetoh hia viotim, the biting and scratching scene
is renewed, end in ell probability be ia com
pelled to release her, and the chaos, with its at
tendant discomforts, ia reoumed. Sbonld he
overcome all obstacles, the third ceptnre usual
ly proves effectual, end the victim, ceasing her
struggles, ia led away amid tho aeelamatioua
and rejoicing of the assembled multitude.
