Sor"Iy never wai such hunting as that
on Tar river or "way down on the ol<

Then there were eight other State*

and if we suppose game was only half so
plentiful in them, and Wbitely was able
to " ferret" only, say $35,000 apiece
yearly, that would have brought the gal
lant band $250,000 yearly—or something
over a million additional for the four

Now we begin to understand all that

Now we realise how it was. The people

Northern brethren carno down in great
numbers and travelled all over the coun

shot at from lmhind every bush ; bnt
they wero r.nl shot at, anti wrote home

wero at least fifty thousand Northern
drummers—or, politely speaking, com
mercial travelers—pervading every cross

Tbe State University.
We prist to day the reasons which in
duced Governor Smith to pocket tbe bill
for the reorganisation of the University,
which passed both branches cf the Gen
eral Assembly. On the whole they are
sound and reasonable, though Dr. Carle-
ton, the author of the measure, in a
lengthy review of the Governor’s objec
tions published in biB paper, the Athens
Georgian, speaks very sensibly of the
University situation, and counsels re
newed effort and diligence on the part of
the trustees in behalf of this great lite
rary foundation.
We join bands with him there, and
would rejoice to see more interest mani
fested in this noble and ancient institu
tion, which should be tbe pride of the
Empire State.
When will our legislators learn what
real economy and true liberality mean in
their treatment of this venerable seat of
learning? To deny it material aid is to
stultify their own record, retard the
cause of education and science, and belit
tle the great State they were chosen to
repiesent.
With the able Chancellor and Faculty
now in charge pf the University, all that
is necefsary is an ample annual appro
priation, concert of action, and a resolute
will to make the University wbat it was
designed to be — the headeentro and
fount of knowledge in Georgia, and
institution second to none in the Union.

THR0AT-B0T IN CONGRESS.
Origin of the Alarming Malady That
is Frightening Washington.
U'.-tiinston Corre.poo.lecc New York Sun.]
Throat rot is what some of our learned
doctors call the disease that so afflicts
Congressmen just at this time. We
have had fourteen of them. Fernando
Wood and Sunset Cox included, down
with this malignant disease within
week. And it was not at all comforting
to be told by the Washington press that
two of these Congressmen came very
near dying. Aud then there was a touch
of true innocence that flavored of Boss
Shepherd in the theory set forth by these
lively Washington newspapers that all
this throat rot among Congressmen was
caused by the presence of the uncleanly
negroes who daily infest the galleries of
The Revereuct Incendiary
the Atlanta University.
Commenting upon the villainous ad
dress of Lee, the President of tho negro
university, that the whites of Georgia
have been paying, for several years past
no less than $8,000 annually to support
the Columbus Enquirer thus goes for the
contemptible creature:
The Rev. M. Lee. winds up his haran
guo by rending from the report of tho
keeper of the penitent i try, which re
port, according to the requirements of
law, gives the occupation of each convict.
Among these convicts ho discovers some
ministers, teachers and politicians. Well,
we can’t deny it, nnd only regret that
the name of tho Rev. M. Lee is not on
tba roll. Ministers, teachers and politi
cians, white or black, who steal chickens,
bogs and cattle, or violate the laws, are
put there os quick as any other sinner.
Judging from his "graphic account” of
Georgia, wo feel assured be is a fit snb
j.-ct, and if he will only return and take
up his residence among us, we havo uo
fear in prophesying bis early enrollment.
We have seen this fellow, and watched
those marms nnd their "buck nigger
equals nnd beaux eating out of the same
pinto, and billing nnd cooing together
at table, and hope his mendacious nnd
outrageous statements will at least effect
ually put a stop hereafter to any further
State appropriation. That negro col
lege, officered nftffit is by the most rabid
of our enemies, is of incnlcolablo injury
to the country. It is the incubating nest
from which scores of teachers nnd
preachers (so-called) are sent forth fall
fledged annually, to sow the seeds of dis
affection in every corner of tho common
wealth, and array the credulous and ig
norant blacks against their employers
nnd best friends. What better proof of
this is wanting, than the utterances of
Mr. Leo himself ?

They will discover such exploits in

An Independent Ptess.
Heaven deliver us from such an in
fliction, if the New York Tribune is to be
tho exponent thereof. That journal has
played the part of a regular coquette for
many months past. It has denounced
Grant and a third term, charged corrup
tion upon Belknap, Schenek, Pendleton
And others, and affected to be peculiarly
dainty in all of its declarations and pro-
nuncinmcntos. Still it was impossible to
keep under its Radical proclivities when
tho result from New Hampshire was an
nounced, and that independent journal
thereupon intimated that the develop
ment of Radical rascality at Washington
would serve to purify the party, and en
sore its future triumph. At first it
bounded on Clymer and his associates,
in their pursuit after the national treas
ury thieves, but now pauses to mako the
following deliverance:
While tho House of Representatives
betrays a singular .inability to follow up
tho positivo indications of rascality in
the Executive Departments furnished by
tho Marsh case and other notorious scan
dais, it is neglecting tho work of legisla
tion and covering itself with discredit
by a course of smelling excursions among
Government offices whero there is no real
cause for suspicion. “The duty of in
vestigation,” in the judgment of a great
many of tho zealous but inexperienced
gentlemen whom a political accident has
gathered in the National Capitol, obliges
them to make a domiciliary visit to ev
ery Republican official who has a fair
reputation, in the hope of finding some
thing dirty concealed about biB prem
ises. They search the bed chambers,
they, pry open the pantry door, they ex
amine the kitchen, they rail up tbe ser
vants. Nothing is sacred from their in
quisition ; and one cannot help thinking
that they must be very sorry when they
fnil to disgrace the country by proving
steoiut d gentleman to be a sancti
monious thief.
Ifox, after this talk about the " politi
cal accident” which has giren the con
trol of the Houso to the Democracy, is
there any wonder that Mr. Dana, of tho
New York Sun, is continually exposing
tbe fallacies, weakness and racillatiun of
the editor whose perch is iu the ” High
Tower," which, resembling Cleopatra’s
needle, overlooks the metropolis ?
So did not speak honest Horace Greeley
in days gone by. But his great jonrnal
is nothing now save an " independent”
of the Radical stripe.
Scribner For April.
The history and characteristics of Yale
College are sketched by Prof. Beers quite
fully in tbe leading article of Scribner
for April; and tho illustrations, over
thirty in number, cover a good deal of
ground. A curious question is asked in

there a Subteranean Outlet to the Upper
Lake Region ?” The fourth paper of
Clarence Cook’s series on furniture re
lates to mantel pieces, corner-cupboards,
hanging shelve.-, etc, and is illustrated,
as usual. In "Poe, Irving and Haw

Gen. Dix; and a hitherto unpublished
letter by Minister Everett to John Quincy
Adanirt, proposing, in effect, that Spam
should mortgage Cuba to the United
States, and thus settle a vexed question
for at least a hundred years. "Of Gabriel
Conroy” thero are five chapters, and
Eiward Everett Hale’s “Phillip Nolan’s

Chicago Times.]
Robeson s security rests upon the con
stancy of a nnmber of his partners in
crime. Wolfe, who fainted in the House
yesterday, is known to havo been ac
quainted with certain transactions which
would lead to conviction. He has broken
silence, but to what extent the committee
are reluctant to tell.
Ex Secretary Welles was summoned on
Saturday to tell what he knew about Mr.
Robeson. He requested a few days time
to look over his papers and memorandum
and prepare himself, which the commit
tee were willing to grant, and it is confi
dently expected that he will give Robe
son, for whom ho entertains no af
fection, a raking that will result very
differently from that of four years ago.
It will be noticed that Wolfe's testimony
upsets Cattell’s denial of presence at the
division of money, nnd sustains Brown’s
clerk, whom the Ring sought to Vr -nk
down fonr years sine >. To sum up. The
evidence in the possession of tbe com
mittee shows in addition to the wrong
doings already detailed in tho Timy'
columns, that Robeson became a partner
in tho joint stock company formed by
John Roach and Senator Cattell to rnn
the iron works at Chester, Pa., and tried
to get a half dozen iron-clad frigates ap
propriated for in order that they might
have $2,000,000 of work.
That he tried to get fourteen others
appropriated for, threo being no real occa
sion for any of the twenty, in order to
create a great patronage to be corruptly
dispensed by himaelt.
That an honest and full investigation,
instead of a whitewashing one, of the
Secor claim and French arms sales will
show that the Secor claim was paid three
times, tho last timo in flat violation of
express nnd mandatory statute; that
Robeson shared tho $10,000 paid Albert
W. Markley for speaking to him about
selling arms to France, and that both
cases will furnish good grounds for his
impeachment.
That Robeson received from Senator
Cattell’s brother, Elijah G. Cattell. eigh
teen lots of real estate in Washington
for $1 each, and that Robeson allowed
him to supply, hy private contract, with
out competition, for a considerable time,
every pound of coal and piece of machin
ery for tho entire navy, as well as every
square foot of canvas, stick of timber,
tu iok and every kind of supplies “from a
barrel of beans to a boat anchor,” at the
navy yards at Philadelphia, Washington,
New York, and Mare Island.
That S. P. Brown got a contract about
the same time to ent about $500,000
worth of live oak timber on tbe Govern
ment lands in Florida, and ship it around
Cape Horn to Mare Island, and that this
contract was procured for him by Cattell
from Robeson as compensation for sur
rendering the privilege of supplying tho
Washington navy yard.
That the boilers of tho YanLic. worth
$9,000, were sold privately and cut up in
yard for the buy er.
That Robeson gavo John Roach a
$100,000 contract for new machinery on
the Tennessee, after her hull had been
condemned as unsoawortby, and when
tho job was not worth half the money
That Peunock, of Philadelphia, receiv
ed a contract for iron plate for two tor
pedo boats at $22-1 a ton, when it wns
not worth $1£0, and thus got an advance
on market price of $111,000.
That master machinists sometimes ox
act fees from laborers for giving them
work at navy yards.
That painters often chargo from two
to ton prices for painting Government
vessels.
That Robeson has employed tho navy
steamors Tallapoosa and Gettysburg
pleasure yachts and in his private ser.
