Thi Constitution of yesterday has tlie
following with reference to the failure of
Messrs Cook Sc Cheek i
Ptrhaps no firm stands higher in the
(.teem of commercial circles than the
firm of Cook A Cheek. Their energy
and probity have given them success,
sad their tr.in-acuona yearly reach a
million dollars. The news yesterday of
their going into bankruptcy startled the
public, and universal regret was ex
pressed. The fact of their complications
an-known fc> a number of friends during
the past ten days, who came forward and
off; red loans in sums varying from $2,000
to $<5,000. while others offered their
checks for $25,000 and $50,000 to help
them weather the financial storm. But
these offers wore declined for reasons
that will bo manifested when we state
the nature or their embarrassments.
Their milling business here was al
ways a success, aud their failure does
not arise from any mismanagement
on their part, but from unforeseen
dilBeuities. Recently a judgment for
$135,000 was obtained against Mr. Cook,
based on the written obligation made by
a former partner (now dead), who aged
the firm name, and which Mr. Cook never
thought he would be liable for. In a
wheat transaction in St. Louis, a loss of
$65,000 was sustained by the house.
Mr. Cook held a large amount of prop
erty which he could have sold after the
close of tho war for cosh for $400,000 or
$500 000. As an evidence of the decline
of that property, however, wo would
star- tint pr-merty formerly renting for
$7,000 per annum now scarcely pays the
taxes. These lo-ses compelled the firm
necessarily to borrow money at high
r .tes. The firm finding that they could
not go on without continuod loss, and
acting under a legal advice, took meaa-
ures to go into bankruptcy, to save their
creditors as a whole. It is well under*
stooa that had the firm concluded to
oontmue. the banks would have ad
vanced them money. We havo conversed
with quite a number of our citizens, who
etprsss sympathy for the firm in their
misfortune, and confidence in their in
tegrity. Their liabilities are estimated
at $300,000, the larger part of which will
be met.
Tnz throe items which follow are from
the same paper:
Reports reach us from Campbell coun
ty that a few nights ago a band of dis
guised men claiming to be Federal sol
diers visited Mrs. Kelly’s place and took
a negro man out of his house, and car
ried him into tho woods, where they
whipped him, and shot and killed
him. It is said that eleven bullet
wounds were found on his person. It is
supposed ho waR killed for giving infor
mation about illicit stills.
Osn of the amusing incidents of the
sheriff's sales yesterday wan the sale of
the Kimball House. As soon as the
property was put up, one party exhibit
ed a inortgago upon it for over $100,000,
another a large claim for the purchase
money, and so on. The result was that
no one would bid, and after various i l-
effectual cf oris to get a price, the hotel
was knock,-,i down to G. W. Adair for
forty-eight dollars.
Vkstbrdat the Atlanta Herald estab
lishment was sold by the sheriff. The
silo included the newspaper and job
office material, presses, engine, books,

a technical objection unworthy of con

As the S-ate work is now accumulat
ing and tne time within which the law

lUVfher delay, to take decided action.
F.-,,m information lately received I am
fully 1 ^pressed that the offer of five hun
dred dollars to Mr. Geo. W Adair to in
duce him te come off ray bond was ' n4tl '
gated hv a certain party connected with
Jour official household, if not by you. I
have the most positive evidence that you

bondsmen, .»n,i used year utmost ieflu

Believing that the continuance of snob
petty malignity mutt neoeseanly result
in damage to the State’* interest. I have
decided to decline any longer to hold
office under yon, and herewith tendery >u
this my unqualified resignation ot the
office of Public Printer.
I sincerely hope that this will appease
yonr malice and give yon the opportunity
to bestow the office wherever you think
“if mill do the most good."

Dsab Sib—In reply to your note of
this date I will say that in handing the
bond for Pablic Printer, back to Col. Als
ton, by your instructions, I distinctly
stated to Col. Alston that it was returned
only for correction m matter of form. It
was without witness. I said, and while
the Governor recognized the signature of
Col. Alston, he was not acquainted with
tho signatures of the securities, Messrs.
McNaught A Co., and Harrison A Co. I
•tatod to Col. Alston that the Governor’s
requirements would be complied with, if
the securities would go before Justice
of the Peace, or come before him (the
Governor) and acknowledge their signa
tures. I was particular in assuring Col.
Al»Sn that the Governor did not reject
the bond, and only returned it for correc
tion in matter of form, which ho felt it
to be his duty to de. Col. J. R. Snea 1
was present at the interview, and I think,
will corroborate this statement.

To Governor James 31. Smith :
The charge made by Col. Alston is not

solely on aocount of my desire to save

rejoinder from Col. Alston, which we do

Tlie Acceptance of the Resig
nation,
From the Now York Herald. 1
The President’s acceptance of Mr.
Belknap’s resignation is an act worse
than the offense of the Secretary, To
screen him from the consequences of
this arbitrary interference between Con
gress and the guilty official Gen. Grant’s
friends claim that he wa9 not aware of
the extent of the Secretary's offenses
when ho accepted the resignation. But
this defense will not do. The President
had been informed of the scandals of the
War Department, and besides this the
very fact that Mjr. Belknap resigned was
revelation enough. President Granthad
no excuse under these circumstances for
accepting the resignation instantaneously
and with “great regret,” but was bound
by official dignity and duty to consult
with the Cabinet and await the action of
Congress.
The reasons why we consider the act
of the President worse than the offence
of the Secretary are these :—
First—The President has endeavored
officially to protect a criminal who con
fessed to him his crime. It matters not
how far that crime was confessed or how
■> confused and incoherent ’’ was tho
manner of the offender. The President
knew there was guilt.
Second—The President has endeavored
to prevent Congress from vindicating the
lonor of the R-public. The disgrace
which Mr. Belknap inflicted upon the
country required that Congress ehonld
nstantly pnrge the Government by his
impeachment and conviction. ThU was
accessary to the honor of the country,
and this the President has forbidden.
The articles o' Impeachment adopted by
the House, it is feared, will fall like
-pent bullets. The Pre.-Uen’ has par-
ioned M. Belknap before the Smate
:oold trv him.
Third—Th? President crowns by this
ict of interference a long series of acts of
oroteetion to offi ;ials who were raepodted
or accused or convicted of crime. Tue
.Ut need not be repeated now, but the
final act costs a retroactive shadow over
i record already dark and doubtful
enough.
Fourth—General Grant has by this act
placid the Executive in a suspicious atti
tude in the sight of the world What
the world mar think of Ulysses S. Grant
may not be important, but in the opinion
-hat other nations may hold of the Fresi-
leut o' the Unit dS it - ' * peep!-have
certainly an internet. The President
disgraces the people when H« uses bis
authority to protect criminals, and puts
a veto upon their p m shmenfc 1 ne el-
iny of a., Se-rotary " ir 'L'p

mant and prevent the nation from vindi-
•aring its honor, constitutes nmcral o-
fence which the law may not be able to
punish, but which the people, who made
the laws, will not forgive.

Interesting Rnmor Relative to Gen
eral Schenck.
Washington, March 8.—The gossip
this morning in New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, mainly an elaboration of
the wildest story, is that an English ves
sel is cruising off New York to intercept
Schenck before he reached American ju
risdiction. He is liable to arrest now as
he is no longer a minister.

they waived examination and were pre
pared to give bail for Belknap’s appear
ance before the court. Judge Snell fixed
the amount of $25,000, when the parties
returned to arrange the bail. Mr. Belk
nap showed by his movements dnring
the short time he was in the court room
that he was much depressed in spirits,
covering his face with his hands and
sighing deeply.
CongreM.
In the Senate Mr. Bayard introduced
a bill to authorize the Secretary of the

It is stated that the recussant witness,
Jacobs, has succumbed. His evidence,
it is said, touches Secretary Robeson. ex-
Senator Cattell and S. P Brown datuag-
ingly. Marahnl O. Roberts was before
tho Judiciary Committee on the Mem
phis and El Paso railroad. His evidence
is a general denial of Fremont’s vagaries.

London, March S.—The Mines says the
appointment of Richard H. Dana, Jr.,
as American Minister to the Court of
St. James is one of the most acceptable
that could be suggested. It revives the
old tradition of honoring men of letters
with important positions. Mr. Dana will
be welcome here on many accounts. The
appointment seems to indicate a return
to a healthier sense of public duty in the
distribution of posts.
Tho Impolite Schenck.

Went over.
The Pinchhack case was resumed.
Mr. West argued that Kellogg received
a majority of the votes cast in 1872, and
therefore had the right to aign the cre
dentials of Pinchback. He had been
recognized as Governor by every depart
ment of tho Government, as well as by a
Democratic House of Representatives.
It was public opinion in Louisiana that
Kellogg was tbe law'nl Governor of the
State. In conclusion, he argued that the
Senate, in accordance with all established
precedents, must admit Pinchback on
his credentials and prim a facie case, and
inquire as to his title to the seat after
wards.
The question then being on the amend
ment of Mr. E imunds to insert the word
“not” before the word “admitted,” so
that the resolution ehonld read: "Re
solved, that P. B. S. Pinchhack be not
admitted as a Senator from tne State of
Lonisiana for the term of sir years, be
ginning on the 4th of March, 1873.” it
was agreed to by yeas 32, nays 29, as

M1DJUUHT DISPATCHES,
Another Denial.
San Francisco, March 8.—Norman
Wiard, now in this city, denies the state
ment intimating fraud in conducting the
ordnance experiments. The amount of
money he received from the Government
for carrying ont the experiment was
$110,000, vouchers for which had all
been satisfactorily audited. The total
amount expended was about $228,000, the
balance coming from his own pocket, for
which he never had made and never con
templated making any claim on the Gov
ernment. If he should receive any intima
tion that his presence was wanted, he
should get nearer to Washington quicker
than he should get farther away.
Unrequited Lore.
St. Louis, March 8.—Mabel Hall, an
English ballet girl at tha Theatre Co-
mique, was shot in one of the refresh
ment rooms at the theatre by Edgar M.
Meore, who then shot himself in the
head. The girl was shot in the left
temple, and will probably die. Moore is
in & critical condition. Cause—unre
quited love.
Gordon on the Whisky Frauds.
Washington, March 8.—Senator Gor
don has the floor for to-morrow. He will
make a speech on the whisky frauds,
which he will discuss the enormous
expense of the frauds and propose amend
ments to the law to prevent the recur
rences and secure honesty and integrity
in the fatare.
Ashore.
Washington, March 8.—The signal
service observer at Barnegat reports the
following : The captain of the life-saving
crew at this station saw from the top of
the light-honse, at 3 F. si., a large vessel
ashore, about eighteen miles south. No
particulars.
The Cortes.
Madrid, March 8.—In the Cortes a
member interrogated the Government in
regard to the recent capture of an English
merchantman by tho Spanish Guarda
Castas, and the recapture of the vessel
by its own craw. The Minister of For
eign Affairs, in reply, stated that he had
made representations to the British min
ister in Madrid demanding satisfaction
and protesting against the contraband
trade pursued by English vessels from
Gibraltar.
Stories that do not Hang Together.
what the president says.
To the Associated Press. 1
The President in conversation with
friends said emphatically that he was not
aware of the enormity of the charges
against Belknap when he accepted his
resignation.
WHAT BELKNAP SAYS.
Fromaninverview in tbe 'Washington Chronicle.
General Belknap said that as soon as
he heard of the charges preferred against
him, and recognized that the situation
was one that admitted of no hesitation,
he at once repaired to the Executive
Mansion and made a full statement to
the President and Secretary Chandler,
who happened to be present, at the same
time tendering his resignation, which
was accepted by the President after hear
ing the explanation.
1776 and 1876.
Here is a plain and practical device
for a grand national banner which should
be hnng out in front of tbe grand en
trance of the Centennial Exhibition at
Philadelphia, to mark the exact progress
which we bavo maffu in om» hundred
years of existence as a united people:
The Spirit of 1776—“I am not a rich
man, bat, poor as I am, the King of Great
Britain is not rich enough to buy me.’’
Joseph Reed, of Pennsylvania, to the
British Commissioners.
The Spirit of 1876—“My wife must
have diamonds and laces enongh to shine
at Long Branch and Washington. Pay
me, therefore, $10,000 down and-$6.000 a
year, and yon shall have the exclusive
right to sell supplies to the soldiers of the
United States on tho frontier at your
own rates.”—William W. Belknap, Sec
retary of War under Grant, to a “poBt-
trader” at Fort Sill.
Wheee there U a weakness of the
throat or lungs, a neglected cold may he
all that is required to establish a linger
ing and fatal disease. Even where there
is no special tendency to bronchial or
pulmonary trouble, a severe cold, left to
take care of itself, often plants the seeds
of a serious complaint, sure to be devel
oped by subsequent indiscretions. Take
especial care of your health, therefore,
from the very earliest symptoms of a
eough or cold by prudently resorting to
Dr. Jaynes’ Expectorant, which will
soothe and strengthen the bronchial
tubes, allay inflammation, and cleanse
them and the )ung3 of all irritating sub
stances. An ounce of prevention is bet
ter than a pound of cure.

have used Simmons’ Liver Regu
lator for constipation of my bow
els, caused by a temporary de
rangement or the liver, for tha
la9t three or four years, and al
ways when used according to the
directions, with decided 'benefit.
I think it is a good modicitie for
tho derangement of the liver—at
least such nas been my personal
experience in the uscof it.—Hiram
Warner. Chief Justice of Georgia.
Micoir. Gi , March 15, 1873.
I have used Simmons’ Regulator in my family
for eight or ten years, and found it to be tho best
family medicine ever used. I have used it in
most cases when my children had Diarrhoea, etc.
You may say it is the best family medicine I ever
used, for anything that may happen. I have
used it in Indigestion, and found it to relieve me
immediately after eating a heerty supper. Oil
going to bed I take about a teaspoonful, and
never feel the effects of the sup] -er eaten; in fact
it is the best medicine I ever u sed. You are at
liberty to use my name in its praise in any way
you please. Ovid G. Sparks,

Your Regulator is one of the b**st family medi
cines I ever used. 1 havo not spent one dollar
for my family for medicine in five years, only for
your Regulator, and must say it does all it says
it will. You can also recommend it in Colic for
Stock, it having cured a fine Mule of mine worth
Five Hundred dollars to me.

I HAVE USED YOUR REGU
LATOR for Twenty-four years,
and found it much better as pre-
f ared by you than any ever used,
have never been without it in
—tramps, diarrhoea anti ColVij—
and in Grubbs for Horses and
Mules, it is the best remedy I
can find. It has saved many
Mules and Horses for me. Use
my name as you wish in the
praise of the Regulator, (as pre
pared.)—W. A. Cherry, Macon,
Georgia.
ALWAYS KEEP IT ON HAND. —I have
used Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator myself and
in my family for years, am? pronounce it one of
the most satisfactory medicines that can be used
Nothing would induce me to be without it, and I
recommend all my friends, if they want to sucuro
health, to always keep it on hand.—R. L. Mott,
Columbus, Ga., Congressman.
EDITORIAL.—"We have tested
its virtues, personally, aud know
that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness,
and Throbbing Headache, it is
the best medicine the world ever
saw. We have tried forty other
remedies before Simmons’ Liver
Regulator, but none of them
gave us more than temporary re
lief; but the Regulator not only
relieved, but cured us.”—Kd.

The Logan Compound
T HE subscribers would call the attention of
farmers to the importance of usiug this
LOW-PRICED FERTILIZER, which in every
county in the State has uemoustrated us supe
riority as a Fertilizer.
It is to the interest of fanners to procure it as
soon as possible, for when composted, if time is
allowed, it causes the compost to become pow
dered. and therefore more easily distributed with
regularity in the field. We think it useless to
publi» h certificates, as its merits are so univer
sally known. We pledge ourselves that the
standard of the Compound is kept up in every
particular.
