“Hiinl Times."
Perhaps there is no one thin" to
which the people in every stage of;
life throughout our entire country
have had their attention more forci
bly directed in the opening of this,
the centennial year of our national
independence, than to the fact that
these are “hard times.” The rich and
the poor alike are constantly remind-1
ing each other that they “have never
seen such hard times before.”
The unpleasant realization that the
times are not only “hard , but that
they are getting harder every day,
st ems to be unanimous in the minds
o* all classes, from the rich banker to
the pool* day laborer, but the causes
to which the gloomy crisis now
threatening the country are attrib
uted are as numerous and mythical
as the extravagant fashions and fool
ish customs of modern society and
politics, which growing evils, in our
opinion, are within themselves, second
to the three components of the great
cause of all the financial trouble and
ruin that is now being realized, with
no visible or reasonable hope of abate
ment.
The reckless administration of the
affairs of our government, and the
corruption of men in high position
have a tendency, no doubt, to shake
the confidence of capitalists in people
and enterprises of every character,
embarrassing business to a very great
extent ; but still this popular cause of
the hard times is not the one which
keeps our Southern people bound in
the claims of poverty.
Laziness, false pride and individual
extravagance are the three components
of the one great cause of the “hard
times” that arc being realized and so
much complained of in this country;
and until the cause is removed the
eiupoverisliing effect wi’l continue to
rest upon us.
Our people must go to work; the
young men must learn that honest
labor is no disgrace; society must
learn to respect our women in such
HTiparol as the beads of their families
can provide and pay for, agd the reck
less every-day < xtravagances that
have been growing upon us ever since
the late war, must be desisted s*oth
before our country can return to its
former prosperitv.
One half of the people in Georgia
would be bankrupts to-day if their
debts were paid, from no other cause
than that they arc spending more than
they can make in keeping pace with a
cod-fish aristocracy and modern
“style.” Our food, our dress, our p’e is
nres and miuor habits are permitted to
cost too much, and, when kept up,
call for more than our pursuits can
provide. We are actually consuming
more than we earn, more than we
need, and more than we enjoy, and
until there is a reform, until we*re
turu to the habitsof our fore-fathers,
and emulate the economical customs
of older and more prosperous coun
t ies, “hard times', will continue, just
as naturally as cause produces effect.
Wheat Prospects. —According to
the Now York Financial Chronicle
the present stock of wheat is much in
excess of the corresponding date last
year, and the condition of much of it
is such as to expose it to serious dam
age from approaching warm weather.
Fears .are entertained that the unfa
vorable weather in the Northwest
cannot fail to indict injury on this
season’s crop of spring wheat, and
stimulate the renewal of active spec
ulation. Corn, it is asserted, has
been growing in speculative interest,
but that with fuller supplies and the
higher ocean freights which may be
expected, the recent advance of ten
cents per bushel may be lost.
There is a good time in store for '
the members of the Georgia Press 1
Association, which meets in Savannah
on the 10th iust. Mr. J. H. Estill, I
of the News, has made arrangements [
to give the fraternity a boat excur
sion out to Tyboe Island, a popular J
resort about twenty miles below the |
city. We acknowledge the receipt of |
an invitation, and shall try to be on
hand.

Tim Appropriation Hills in (’oiirtpsn -
More Treasury Vramls Speaker Kerr
beelines to Run Again for Congress
■Presidential Talk Orant at Ills Old
llnldls Again.
[Special Correspondence of the Quitman [
Reporter. 1
Washington, D. C., April 28, 1870.
The Senate has refused to recede
from its amendments to the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill. It
will bo remembered that in the inter
est of economy and reform the House
abolished a number of useless mis
sions and consulates, and reduced the
salaries of others, making a saving,
on the appropriations of last year, for
this branch of social service, over \
04,000,000. The Senate refused to
agree to the bill and amended so as
to restore all the abolished offices and
the former salaries. The amended
| Senato bill went to the House and
they refused to concur in the amend
ments. The Senate has asked tor a
conference committee. The military
academy and deficiency bills are in
the same condition, and so far but one
general appropriation bili (pensions)
has passed both Houses. A sub-com
mittee, consisting of Mr. Bright, of
Tennessee, and Savage, of Ohio, have
examined Preuder, the witness, who
declares that immense frauds had
been committed in tie Treasury De
partment, and he gave the names of
J. J. Flanagan, of Washington, F. A.
Simmons, a nephew of General Spin
ner and a clerk iu the Treasury, and
;of Mathew Richardson, of Albany,
; New York, as the persons by whom he
I would prove bis assertions. He
| also produced some documentary ev
idence. He charges that some of the
credits allowed the Treasurer wore
| fraudulent. —that money alleged to
have been destroyed was not destroy
ed, but was stolen and used; that
public moneys were loaned to the no
torious Judge Underwood, of Virgin
ia, and that currency was counted to
make up a coin deficiency. All this
is alleged to have occurred when
Bout well “the Groton grocer” was in
j charge of the department, aud he
further says he notified Secretary
Bontwell of the facts and that noth-
ing was done.
The Naval committe have asked to
have the testimony taken by them
printed. It has been proven that
E. G. Cattell, a friend of Robeson’s,
black-mailed contractors for the Na
vy, to the amount over 830,000. No
one who did not pay him a commis
sion could secure a contract, and
though there is no positive evidence
that Robeson received any of this
money, the New York 'limes, the
leading Republican paper of the
country, says: “Whether the Secre
tary received any money from Cattell
or not, such a system, if permitted
to exist, was an outrage. Every dol
lar acquired by this means was iu ef
fect stolen from the people, for the
contractors would not have paid it if
their profits bad not warranted it.
It is also alleged that the Secretary
bad confidential relation with Cartell,
and exchanged accommodation paper
with him. This would be only one
grade worse than the enriching of
Cattell by the Contractors.” Mr.
\ McDotigal, of London, President of
: the Emma Mine company, has for
j wanted to the committee on Foreign
I affairs some papers relating to Gener
lal Shenck’s connection with that
| swindle upon the British public.
The committee would not permit
them to bo made public till General
| Shenek was present to explain them.
General Belknap is, apparently, one
of the most unconcerned spectators
jof his own trial among the motly
crowd of sensation seekers that gatli-
I ers daily in the galleries and ap
proaches of the Senate chamber to
witness the proceedings. But outside
the capitol very little interest is man
ifested in the matter so speedily is
one sensation set aside by its succes
sor. Judge Carter has not yet ren
dered his decision in the Hullette j
; Kilbouru habeas corpus case; and a
I curious public are awaiting it with a
: groat deal of interest.
Ex-Attorney Generel Akerman tes
tified that he paid money out of the
secret service fund to “little Johnny
Davenport” upon tne order of Presi
dent Grant. Speaker Kerr has defi
nitely declined to again run for Con
gress, and declares his intention of
retiring from public life altogether
after the expiration of his present
time in the House. He is forced to
this decision by the delicate condi
tion of hi.s health. The expert who
examined the books of the Govern- ]
ment Priuter Clapp, find that these
have been fraudulently kept from the
beginitig, and that there are no en
tries of material and documents fur
nished to private firms. He said in
answer to questions, “that he could
have but one opinion relative to the
book-keeper and that was that be was
a scoundrel.” Dr. Nichols, in charge j
of the Government Insane Asylum.;
and whose treatment of the insane |
has been so well shown up, is now
threatening all the attendants with
discharge, unless they will swear be
fore the committee what he dictates.
The New York Democratic conven
tion, held at Utica, on Wednesday,
was almost unanimously in favor of
Tilden for the Presidency. From the
manner in which the Republican
! leaders have labored to preveut this
endorsement, it is evident that they
fear Tilden as tlx; Democratic candi
date, and were desirous to show that
his party in his own State was not a
unit for him. The friends of Judge
Davis urge him as the “only” man,
and some of them are overbearing in
their claim. At the same time it is
evident that Hendricks is strongest
in the West and South, and an effort
I is being made to unite these sections
solidly upon him, giving the second
place on the ticket to someone from
the East or Middle States. Bristow
has broken into Blain’s strength in
Massachusetts, and there seems to be
a strong current Retting towards him,
and he may prove to be the “great
unknown” whom the speaker fears.
It is reported that since the Babcock
indictment and the Belknap case
President Grant has been indulging
in his old habits of hard drinking aud
that it is seriously affecting him.
Reno.
A few loose remark* without a cap
tion:
The LaGrange Reporter says that
Troup is the only county in the .State
that has no candidate for Governor.
Our contemporary must certainly
have overlooked Brooks entirely, or
else iucluded it meeely upon sc, posi
tion. This county has no candidate
for Governor, nor has it ever had;
but we have a man that will exactly
fill the bill for this District in the next
Congress. We don’t propose to com
mence blowing over him yet awhile,
however. We shall endeavor to
ercise a little more discretion in oflrj
friend’s behalf than we notice is being
used by some of out* brethren of the
press, who are doing Mbeir favorites
for gubernatorial and congressional
honors move harm than good bv con
stantly parading tbeir names before
the public, and eulogizing them in
sncli a manner as to excite the disgust
of the people before the time for se
lecting their standard bearers arrives.
We think we could name at least
three gentlemen, who would like to
be Governor of Georgia, whose chan
ces for nomination are be' >g dimin
ished every day, by the too liberal
and familiar use of their names by i
narrow-brained and conceited news
paper men. What such scribblers :
write has about as much tveight with
the people as the following resolution
■ —which was introduced,but very prop
erly tabled,in the district conveutijn at |
Albany last Wednesday—would have j
had with the Democratic National
Convention at St. Louis next July:
“Resolved that it is the sense of this
convention that the currency ques
tion be left out of the Democratic
platform for the coming Presidectial
campaign.”
The Science of Suicide.— Last Sun
day afternoon the dead body of a
young m- named Bernard Daily
was found in his room in St. Louis,
j with a pistol shot wound in his side.
! He left behind a singular letter, in
which he describes for the bentit of
medical men, and religious and mor
al philosophers, the physical, mental
and moral feelings of a suicide, and
| also intimates that unrequited love
compelled him to kill himself.
An Educational Bill by a Negro
Member.— Jerry Haralson, of Ala
bama, has prepared a bill providing
for granting the proceeds ot the pub
lic lands of the United States for
educational purposes, upon the basis
of the amount of illiteracy as shown
by the last census. The bill has so
much merit that Democrats have
promised Mr. Haralson to give the
bill their support. So says a
dispatch to the Baltimore Ga
zette. * *
Giving liallotto tho Indian.
Recently in the United States
House of Representatives, Mr. Sparks,
of Illinois, offered an additional sec
tion to a hill then pending, provid
ing for tho admission to United
States citizenship of any Indian who
may prove to the satisfaction of the
court nearest to the reservation of his
tribe o** nation that lmiis sufficiently
intelligent and prudent to conduct
his jjn affairs and interests, and
j adopted the habits of civ
ilization, and%has for five years at
! least been ablo to support himself
and family, lint such Indian shall
1 on tlmt account forfeit bis interest in
the property of the tribe. Adopted.
On motion of Mr. Cox, (Dein, N. Y.)
tho words “religious denominations”
were substituted for the words “Cbris
-1 tian churches.”
Without making a final disposition
<>f the bill, the House adjourned.
Now would it not be far more
graceful and proper before attempt
ing thus to scotch the ball of univer
sal suffrage of tbeir own starting, to
go back a little and amend what has
already been done in that direction?
How many quondam African slaves
are “intelligent and prudent,” and
able even now, after ten years of citi
zenship to support themselves and
families ? And how much progress
have they made iu “civilization”? If
these qualifications are indispensable
pre-requisites to citizenship among
domesticated Indians, to say nothing
of teligion, why not overhaul matters
and make the rule apply to the peo
ple of another semi-barbarous race
aud color? It is never too late to ’-
feet reforms, even if new amend
ments or substitutes to whole
sections of the constitution were nec
essary. This universal suffrage,
sooner or later, wi'l ring the death
knell to a government which has now
survived the storms and vicissitudes
of one hundred years.
See already to what a pass it has
brought the country, by the elevation
of corrupt and unprincipled rulers
both at the North and South. How
can they administer public affairs
avlio are profoundly ignorant them
selves, and possess no personal stake
in the State ? Let those, then, who
engrafted this pernicious provis'on
upon the Constitution, at least modi
fy tbeir work. It is true, we see not
the slighte t probability that this ever
will be done, but the obligation to do
so remains undiminislied.
The only feasible remedy lies with
the States in their individual capaci
ty. It is clear that each can impose
a property or educational qualifica
tion, or both, upon all who exercise
the ballot, provided there be no dis
crimination against “race, color or
previous condition.”
This is tbit case at present, we be
lieve, in several of the Northern and
Eastern States, and comes clearly
within the limitations of toe Federal
iConsiitolion. But, then, a few whites
’would also bo disfranchised by the
operation of such laws, and hence,
politicians are afraid to bruit the
question.
AVo repeat, however, that unless
this wholesale use of the ballot by
the illiterate and vicious can be abat
ed in some way, the days of the Re
public are numbered. —Macon Tele

When “Money” was Plenty.
The Columbus Enquirer quotes from
its file? some of the prices realized at
an auction and private sale in that city
in January and February. 1863, when
“money” was pleuty. Following nve
some of the figures: “Cow and calf,
$3000; fiue b. cod mare, $4,500; negro
! twenty-one years of age. $3,700; Au
gusta shirting, $6 a yard; salt, 85 to
88 cents per pound; pink stain, $75

$500; cloth shoes, S3O; blankets, S7O,

I ton brought 75 to 80 cents per
pound.”
A Washington letter says: “The
intelligence from Massachusetts of the
election of Bristow delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention is a sore dis
appointment to Mr. Blaine, who had
counted on more strength in New
England than be has yet developed.
It is understood that Senators Mor
ton and Conkling are also somewhat
disgusted at the rapid rise in Bristow
stock of late. It was said to-night
by friends of both Mr. Blaine and Mr.
Conkling that although these two
gentlemen have not spoken to each
other for ten years, either would pre
fer the success of the other to that of
Gen. Bristow, and will so work at the
Convention.”
Although the sub-treasury at St.
Louis has been paying out silver very
freely for the last few days, yet it does
not circulate. Those who have it as
something more valuable than frac
tional curroncy, and the result is a
gradual disappearrauce of small
change. The silver coins will not
circulate until their novelty wears
off. 1
The Lost Female.
The late Columbus scandal elicts
the following very touching remarks
Enquirer of that city:
Never was anything more touching
and calculated to elicit sympathy,
than the tender victim who was
brought upon the stand to tell her
sad and ruinous story of how she was
decoyed and defiled. Her sorrowful
eyes betraved a gloom, a bit! emeus, a
ceaseless heartache, tlmt filled them
with harrowing shadows, that east a
gloom over her countenance and
those of the spectators. Her youthful
beauty liad not ripened into woman
ly loveliness, and her undeveloped
mind was not so endowed with grace
as to overcome “a man.” With tile
coloring of childhood was mingled n
weird indescribable hopelessness, as
if she almost knew that all that makes
life a solace and respectable, had bid
her farewell forever. Tlr re she sat
detailing against a niftti, whom she
confessed to have loved, “facts” which
not only disgraced bin, but entailed
upon herself an infamy which would
not pass awav until with the pall at
the sound of the knell. The rosy mist
which might have been between her
and futurity was now dispelled und
driven away in clouds of shame to
mingle with her lost virtue, and her
marred life stood plainly revealed be
fore her. While in a modest manner
trying to tell her affection for “him,”
there was a cautions repression upon
her quivering lips, which betrayed the
ttiougbt, “I am lost, and have no
sympathizing friends—not even in my
destroyer. Oh! that a man should
take advantage of nvv weak nature
and betray me to the world, and sever
me from all niy*ballowed associations
and tender memories. The slanderous
lash of the scorpion scourge will ever
sting me.” All selfrespect and that of
others is dead; so being lost without
a succoring hand, she will have to bury
regret, and, in utter despair, be an
out-cast forever. How horrible to her
childish nature, when conscience un
locked the treasury house of her
memory and contrasts it with her im
proverished character ! But can her
mother spit upou her, from whose
veins hers were fed, who lent a
pulse to her being? Can this be?
Surely it ought not; blit rather, with
tender care, to raise her to woman
hood and teach her to go aright. If
she is lost to the world she is not to
her God. She can ho brought up in
the right way yet.
