It is a fact which tells its own story
that the majority of the Howard Investiga

general purpose of presenting a white
washing report in the cose, find it impossi
ble to harmonize upon the terms of their
report. The point of diffirence seems to
be the extent to which the wash shall be
applied—whether lavishly and indiscrimi
nately, so as wholly to conceal truth, or
thinly and discreetly, so as to
djvtvi-cuu a’gree, not so much as to wdiat
the truth is, as to how the truth shall be
stated so as to be the least damaging to the
Republican party, to the Christian soldier,
to the Freedmen’s Bureau, and to the phi'
Janthropy of politics. The truth in cases
of this sort is generally found in the min

no difficulty in arriving at a harmonbus

Washington, D. C., July 16, 1870.
THE LABOR QUE-TION.
The question of Chinese immigration is
now assuming an importance no way in
ferior to many others which have and will
engage, not only public attention, but will
possiblv be one to which the aspirants (of
both political complexions) for CongressPn
al honors will devote 31l their skill, so as to
be enabled to avoid being wrecked on Scyl
la or engulpbed by Char'blys. In the
now opposition presented by the Sops of
Crispin in Massachusetts, the emancipated
Ethiopian in the South, and the loud
mouthed Workingman’s League in Cali
fornia, coupled with the movement already
so significantly inaugurated in Congress, it
becomes an almost certainty now, that the
Republican party, having no dead or direct
issues to present, under sophistical guises,
the “Chinese immigration" will be the one
on which the “harp of a thousand strings" is
to bo struck. If that be the dodge whereby
votes are to be obtained, or the debates on
the stump made, so as to cajole the voters
in the fall and thereby keep off more per
tinent matter as to the course leg : slation,
has taken during the past (now closing)
Congress, then may I write, “God save the
Republic!’’ Men for selfish purposes and
their own immediate advancement to the
high seats in the synagogue, will essay to
draw the wool over the eyes of the voters,
and evade responding to the pertinent in
quiries which certainly will be made
of them during the campaign this fall.
*******
Riders tacked on to bills which must pass
are very efficacious, when the will is
there to show a nation’s gratitude to the
men who fought, bled, and died, so that
the country and the Union could he saved
and preserved as a goodly heritage. These
claims are ignored, while land grabs, which
maketh “poor men rich suddenly," or other
like gigantic monopolies, pass through.
The soldier may vote, must vote, hut his
rights meet no favor. The soldier, the
working man, farmer, artizan, and all
others, including the statesman and phi
lanthropist, must, by their united efforts
keep down at the ballot buX the pettifog
ging partisan, charlatan, and demagogue,
who will only aim during the fall campaign
to aggravate (as they hitherto have done)
internecine strife, work up evil passions,
and float to power on the foam of the bub
ble they swim on.
THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The National Democratic Resident Com
mittee, composed of lion. Samuel J. Ran
dall, lion. Henry W. Slocum, Hon. Freder
ick Stone, of the House of Representatives,
and Hon. Richard T. Merrick, General N.
L. Jeffries, T. M. Smith, of this city, and
General Denver, of California, are now
thoroughly organized for active campaign
operations. Hon. Samuel J. Randall is
picaidcDt, to whom all communications
will be addressed, and Hon. N. L. Jeffries
has been chosen treasurer, and to him all
remittances will be made. The committee
have contracted for an ample supply of
documents for distribution. It is desirable
that all Democratic candidates for ofl’ce
should communicate with the committee
without delay. It is important to the Dem
ocratic leaders and party, that all should
know and so, through the
documents which the Committee will print,
what lias, and what has not been done
(although promised) by the party so long in
power. Especially as that, power was not
obtained by the usual methods. Much of
the future welfare of our country depends
on the elections in the fall. A change—a
complete change of Representatives in the
Halls of Congress is imperatively and abso
lutely necessary. The people can so will
it. The people in whom all powers lie
must show by their decided votes that they
are in earnest. What the meaning of
Senator Schurz’s design is, time will devel
ope, fur as soon as Congress adjourns it is
understood that he will return to Missouri
and leac the Liberal Conservative side in
politics in that State in the coming cam
paign, advocating the universal amnesty
and universal sufirage amendment to the
State constitution. There are over sixty
thousand white citizens disfranchised now

AN INDIAN IDEA.
The speech of Little Swan, one of the
Sioux chiefs, to the President, is regarded
as furnishing a proper comment on the In
dian situation. lie said : “That my great
father asks for peace is all very well. If I
had my own way it would-be all right, and
there would be no more fighting. But I
noticed when visiting Congriss on Thurs
day that all the big chiefs did not agree.
It is the. same with my young men, they
are not all of one mind, but I will do my
best to make them of one mind and to keep
the peace. I am a bad young man and
have made much trouble. I did not get
my position as chiof by good conduct, but
because I was a great fighter like my great
father.” These words were actually deliy-
ered, and the sarcastic allusLn to Congress
and the President are regarded as worthy
of a better civilize ion. Here is food K r
reflection.
MRS. LINCOLN AGAIN.
There was another warm debate in the
Senate lately on granting Mrs. Lincoln a
pension of Hire** thousand dollars a year.
The new lowa Senator said it was a ereak
fraud to place a civilian on the pension roil.
Mr. Yates, of Illinois, declared that he did
not care what others might say, he knew
that Mrs. Lincoln and all her family em
pathized with the rebellion throughout :ts
existence, and he would’nt vote a dollar for
foreign show. Mr. Saulsbury, of Dela
ware, created great merriment by propts
ing that Senators make up a purse for Mrs.
Lincoln out of their own pockets, and said
he would give as niuih as Sumner. A vote
to tab’e the bill was lost by nine majority,
and pending its passage other business tad
to intervene. Sjb'equently, her friends
made another effort to secure her a free gift
of several thousands of dollars, but, for
tunately for the country, it did not pa*s.
Thousands of poor widows are pining for
the petty eight dollars per month as a pen
sion, but they get it not, neither do they
receive the Bounty which the patriotism of
their husbands who gave up their lives for
their country entitles them to. Cannot
men be elected to C.in<rrpa“ -will k<»»

Oer Schools.— By which is meant the
schools in town, and especially the female
scho Is. Why, it is earnestly asked is the
female schools suffered to dwindle down,
ycu may say, to nothing? Why, parents,
those who are so neglectful of your chil
drens’ best interest—that of giving them
advantages of education while they arc yet
at an age most susceptible of receiving
them? Why, I urgently inquire, is it the
deplorable case that so many bright and
interesting little girls in and around town
(enough to keep up a regular school of fifty
or seventy-five pupils) are kept at home to
play away, in idleness, the most important
hours of their lives? These questions,
though they chiefly concern the female,
will apply tos; me extent to the male school,
notwithstanding the excuses that may be
offered for keeping the boys away from
school by reason of the necessity of their
staying at h une to work. A reason that
ought to be well considered.
What can be sader than to meet li'ttle
Mary, or Mattie, or Lizzie, &c., her face
beaming with natural intelligence, and to
your question, ‘ Do you go to school, Sissy ?"
To hear her reply, “No sir, I was a goin, and
cot 'ur as Baker, but papa stopped me."
Or, “No, sir, I went part of laVt year, and
was larnin to read and spell’ good, but
mama said I vrer’nt, and that liroust stay

He might personally be passive under the

Prussia had been spoiled by her rapid vic

‘Washington, July 15, 11 A . if —The
President has just signed the Georgia bill,
and the Empire State is again of the Union,
ihe bill is substantially the same as
that passed by the House, and is consider
ed here as an endorsement of the policy of
Governor Bullock and the Republicans of
Georgia.”
. This dispatch indicates political comple
tion The passage of the bill itself is a
doubtful triumph for Bullock and friends.
The Democrats may share in the congrat
ulations, if Georgia is really in the Union,
and civil law is restored—the militaay abol
ished, and the suffrage of a few people is to
elect, at an untrammeled ballot-box, anew
Legislature this Fall.
The following is from a special dispatch
to the Telegraph and Messenger:
Atlanta, July ISth 1870.
House A communication was received
from tbe Governor giving unofficially, the
information that Congress had passed the
bill admitting Georgia to representation,
and that until the meeting of Congress, n»
December, the Suite would remain under
the supervision of Gen. Jerry ; but tin.
Gen. Terry allow the Legislature to
enact laws.
The majority and minority reports of the
committee of’ investigation into charges
against Gov. Bullock and the Treasurer,
are ready. The minority reoort, signed by
Messrs. * Nunnaliy, Faitr, Shumate and
Price, Fund Bullock guilty of drawing and
appropriating State funds in violation of
the Constitution, and hypothecating and
selling $265,000 mortgage bonds contrary to
the letter of the act of 18GG ; drawing * xo
cucive warrants on improper lends; draw
ing large amounts on the twenty-second
section of the appropriation act, in disre
gard of law and precedent; permitting the
earning* of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road to he used contrary to tbe Code, in an
unusal and extraordinary manner ; disburs
ing from tbe contingent fund two-thirds
for incidental expenses.
The other charges are not sustained.
The same minority report condemns the
Treasurer for receiving perquisites not al
lowed by law, and depositing the education
al fond' without consulting the Governor,
but acquits him id other charges.
GRAND JURY PRESE> T fMEN TS.
We the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn
for the May Adj rarned Term of Upson
Superior Court, beg leave to make the bl
owing general presents :
While we congratulate the county upon
the general improved conditions ot morals,
industry, and agriculture,. find room for
still further improvement in many particu
lars. Judging from the number of com
plaints from various portions of the countrj’,
which would within themselves appear
insignificant, though violations of the law,
and which necessarily demand our notice,
vve -feel constrained to call upon all good
citizens to use their utmost endeavors to
ward* harmonizing the different elements
of discord between all parties and races
that mav osis*', the obj cts of which, are
peace and prosperity to uur section. A so,
the suppression of petty crimes and offe. ee
among that class of our population which
have recently became citizens of our county.
The want of proper knowledge and discre
tion among this latter class seems to be a
source of one of our greatest troubles, and
although the means to be employed to
obtained the end desired seems an invaiua-
He problem, yet a proper and judicious
course pursued by tr»e more intelligent,
WO uld greatly facilitate the advancement of
the former, and the suppression of such
small and petty crimes and offences which
are the source, of so much trouble and ex
pense to the county.
We call the attention of the proper
authorities to the unsafe and neglected
condition of the public roads generally
throughout the country, more particularly,
to the roads leading from Thomastou to
Double Bridges, the one leading from 11. r
ring Mill to Julius Wil Loras’ Cross Roads,
or The “old Castlin place,” the road leading
from Thomaston to Abner Lewis’ not far
from town. We insist that the Road Com
missioned be forced to discharge the im
portant duty devolving upon them.
Upon an examination of tbe public
buildings we find that the C urt-house nas
undergone thorough and complete repairs,
and is in a splendid condition. It presents
a sightly appearance and tbe work is sub—
etnn.i-l. f.. ,v ivp arn inilpl
indefatigable Dr. E. A. Flewelien, the con
tractor for the same. The jail is unfinished
ana unsaie. The Ordinary informs us that
he will proceed mmediately to compel the
contractor to complete the work, but it is
necessary that the doors and windows be
repaired, which we recommend be immedi
ately.
O.ving to the short time we have hud to
devote to tbe examination of the County
Records, we were compelled to give them a
superficial one, but judging from tbe ap
pearance and style in which they are kept,
with such examination as we could give,
the officers in each department deserve
credit for the neatness and accuracy in
which they appear.
We find the finances of the county on a
sound and firm basis—out of debt—and
with funds sufficient to meet all legitimate
demands with a sut-p’u* f r contingent ex
penses—for which the Ordinary is entitled
to credit.'
Through the economy and judicious
management of the Ordinary, the Poor
School Fund is nearly sufficient to pay up
the arrears of years past, and we leave it
to the sound dbereti >n of this faithful
functionary to levy such taxes upon the
State taxes as will be saJficient to meet
their claims.
We call the particular attention of the
proper authorities to the very loose and
indiscreet manner in which the rmmey
arising from flues and forfeitures have been
used ior the past two or three years. We
find that between four and five hundred
dollars of these funds have been collected
by the Solicitor General aud other officers
of court, embracing several terms of the
court since they have made any settlement
with- the County Treasurer. Therefore, we
suggest to the presiding Judge, that he use
such measures as will force these delin
quents to make proper returns of their
actions to the proper officers as required by
law.
In taking leave of their Honors. JuHgow
