Col. Hulbxbt.—This gentlemen, toe
chief register for Georgia, has bean the
anbjeet of mnoh denunciation on the
part of the Georgia press. Wo think
thio is wrong, Halbert took too coni
tract for registering and putting through
tho colored population aooording te tho
Gherman-Shellabarger. It was puroly
n business transaction. Hulbert is a
business nan, not n politician. He has
aarried ont .his contract in splendid
style. Wa doubt if another man in
Georgia oonid have made such a come
plots job of it, sad wo think he is entU
• \4 to credit rather than censure.
In nil departments of business, Mr.
IL baa hitherto been successful. First
as a railroad man; then a* chief of the
Express; and lastly, as register. As
an exprea man, ho woo always popular;
and daring the war, hia favors to sol
diers were numberless, and the liberali
ty of tha Company amounted in many
instances to lavish generosity. The toot

gest that Gen. Pope let out the whole
reoonstraction businos to Halbert, who
bos sense enough te aoaprohend too en
tire subject, and dose not aspire to the
Presidency, or any Other political office.
By all means let Halbert have toe con
tract, tor Pops baa evidently corns to a
dead look, usd hie courtiers have not
