The Day After Thanksgiving In the
House of Representatives— Action
on, and Indefinite Postponement
ot the I'snry Bill—Slim Attendance
—The Weather and Its Effects—A
New Weekly Journal.
Atlanta, December 1, 1871.
It, was quite late this morning when the
members of the Assembly had all came in
and taken their respective desks. The
floor of the House was far more noisy than
I have ever before o(>served. There seem‘d
to be a spirit of restlessness walking abro.nl
among the honorable gentlemen, which, in
some measure, may be attributed to a long
spell of reading bills the second time. For
at least an hour, the rap of the Speaker’s
gavel seemed quite Ineffectual to sustain
proper decorum, and not until a lively dis
cussion sprang up was the usual attentive
ness to business attained.
The galleries, too, made a thin showing,
there being not more than a dozen visitors
present, Including too or three ladies, who
had braved the inclemency of the morning
lor observations at the House. At ten
o’clock, a. m„ the Senate bill regulating
THE USURY LAWS
ot the (State, was taken up for Its third
reading and final passage. Mr.Scott spoke
able and at some length against the policy
of the bill, citing to the abolished usury
laws of England, and recapitulating the
gradual decline of rates from the ten per
cent, d&vs of James I. Though far from
being eloquent, Mr. Scott is an able deba
ter, and seldom fails to attract and hold
the attention of the solid thinking mem
bers.
Mr. McMillen’s convictions were some
what changed lrom what they had been at
i late hour last night. He maintained that
usury laws were an encouragement of good
faith and integrity in borrowers. An in
flux of money wonld not cheapen rates, re
marked the gentleman, so long as certain
laws existed creating risks to the lender.—
He thought the only effective mode to re
duce the rates was to place the lender in a
position to collect interest.
Following Mr. McMillen, came Mr. l’ou,
advocating the passage of the bill, but at
the same time hardly thought it wonld re
sult in any great influx of money into the
State.
At the close of the gentleman's remarks,
half a dozen members sprang to their feet
ami wanted a word or two on the subject;
but the magical and tyranical motion for
THE PREVIOUS QUESTION
had already been called, embracing a mo
tion from Mr. Anderson, to indefinitely
l>ost.pone the whole matter.
The yeas and nays being called and taken,
the vote stood, yeas, 81; nays 65 ; and the
bill with its two hours hard labor was de
clared properly dished, so far at least, as an
indefinite postponement was concerned in
The balance of the day In the House was
devoted to the reading of reports from com
mittees. It was fully 12, m., before the
members entered fully Into the spirit of the
work before them. The speaking, and even
voting, in the main, was confined to a very
>\v members, who seemed to have more
ally recovered from the suspension of leg
islative labor during yesterday.
THE SENATE CHAMBER,
also, presented an unusually quiet appear
»nce, nothing of an interesting nature be
ing brought before it. I think that by to
morrow the disposition to hurry along
legislation will be in good physical work
ing order, when we may look for a rapkl
clearing up of pending matter on the clerk’s
desk.
THE DAY.
This morning was the most inclement
and disagreeable of any during the season.
A heavy fall of sleet during the night pro
duced In some localities two to three inches
of solid ice on the pavements, so that loco
motion is frequently, and in some cases un
pleasantly, interfered with.
THE LECTURE
of Mr. H. M. Law, in the House of Repre
sentatives did pot occur last night. A
steady and heavy fall of sleet and rain
during the entire evening forced his many
friends and admirers to remain at their
hearthstones. The social entertainment
prepared by the ladies for the benefit of
the First Baptist Church was also post
poned.
A NEW JOURNAL.
fho. Atlanta Journal, weekly, has grade
its appearance. It is devoted to the In
terests of commerce, railways, mining,
manufactory, markets, etc., and is nearly a
rejuvination of the Atlanta Journal of Com
merce recently established and almost as
immediately defunct. The paper appears
to be slightly statistical, but lacks much
nr that desirable quality of variety and
spice which is now the only insurance of
success for a paper in Atlanta. It is pub
lished by Messrs. Clark and Peterson at
the Sun job rooms.
AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT
for to-day, there was a remarkable inclina
tion displayed by the profound and saga
cious legislators for the pleasant quarters of
Haverty’s, on the Opera House block. In
this retired and inviting precinct, It Is said,
some of the most profound movements of
State policy are concocted and the plans
• arried out. I have no idea that anything
startling Is going to arise from this move
ment, hut accept it as the result of a day’s
suspension from labors In the Assembly, as
well as the combined opposition of the ele
ments to comfort on the streets.
The approaching hour for the nomination
nf a Governor by the convention soon to be
assembled here, is eleciting some attention;
but from out the mass of candidates pro
posed, little can be seen of a deftnate na
i ureas to who the probable choice will
rest upon. B.
I he Supposed Author of the Chatta
nooga Fire Caught.— Policeman White
arrested, on last Monday, a negro man,
who gives his name as Jack Smith, and
who is supposed to be the author of the
recent conflagration. He was arrested on
the charge oi theft, and unless he has been
Informed of the fact since, is not aware that
he is charged with beiug the incendiary of
the late lire. When searched, a large gold
ring was found on his person, belonging to
the Fischer Bros, and also two keys be
longing to freight cars on the Western and
Atlantic Railroad.
A persou who is acquainted with the
prisoner and whose name we will omit for
the present, states that his true name is

as brakesman on the Western and Atlantic

A Railroad Anaconda. —The New York
Tribune says the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company is making advances
southward. The Tribune says:
A combination, believed to be in its in
terest, is said tc be buying up lines of
Southern railroads, paying the market
price of the bonds and stock. It is said
that the pressure of legal proceedings
against the Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad, which Judge Busteed has again
declared bankrupt in the United States
District Court at Montgomery, has refer
ence to facilitating such purchase ot its se
curities. The first mortgage of the road is
$lO 000 the second mortgage $9,000 per
mile. Such a purchase, if completed, will
place under one control a through line
from New York to Mobile, New Orleans or
Vicksbu-g, and thence there will be an
outlet over the proposed Southern route to
California.
letter from Abbeville County, South
Carolina.
Mu. Editor: Seeing that you have in
vited each subscriber to contribute to your
columns, I take the privilege of writing
you something in reference to Abbeville
county, South Carolina, more particularlv
the upper portion of the county.
Our county, just after the war, was the
theatre of many bloody scenes and dread
ful outrages, such as “bushwhacking,”
“ house-burning,” &c., and though a com
pany of Yankees were ever on the watch,
yet things grew worse and worse, until
after the campaign of ’6B, when the officiate,
having occomplished their only desire —
getting the colored man’s vole —withdrew
their guards and left him to his fate. Since
which time the negro and white have lived
together quite amicably. The negroes in
most sections have worked faithfully, made
good crops and have done well, both for
themselves and their employers ; and so will
they continue to do, if none come among
us to stir up strife. I have no doubt at all
that some would be willing for the best
colored man in Abbeville to be killed, if by
that means it could be made to appear that
Ku Klux outrages were committed in our
midst and the civil lavv was not sufficient
to protect life and property. But I don’t
think they will get their desire unless some
Yankee turns Kn Klux, and sets the ball
in motion, which I think is frequently done.
Yes, l firmly believe that men are sent from
the North for the purpose of creating strife
for party purposes. Without a doubt many
of the murders which have taken place in
South Carolina have been committed by the
aid and advice of leading Radicals. It is
thus the poor negro has been duped.
But these things are past, and we would
say “ let the dead past bury its dead.”
Our countv is now one of the most pros
perous and thriving in the State. The f oil
is well adapted to the culture of cotton and
all kinds ot grain. I don’t suppose there is
a finer section for small grain anywhere in
the State. Many of the farmers sow the
red oat, which frequentlv yields from 40 to
50 bushels per acre. They gene’-ally sow
them when they plow their coUon the last
time, In August. Thus they furnish a fine
pasture during the winter and early spring.
The area planted in corn and wheat was
much larger this year than any previous
year since the war, and though the crop
was considerably lessened by the drought,
yet the supply is equal to the demand.
Our county sustains two fine Institutions
—Erskine College, located at Due Wes,, and
the Due West Female College, at the same
place. These colleges are in a flourishing
condition, and annually send forth a num
ber of graduates, who never fail to reflect
honor upon their Alma Mater.
Any one wishing to make Abbeville his
home, will find a hearty welcome in our
midst.
Respectfully, L.
f Prom the Daily Patriot.
Tlie President.
It would be to ns a most congenial and
grateful thing to be able to sav that we
have at this time in the Presidential chair
a man worthy of his seat. Nothing could
well be for us a more ungrateful task than
to be obliged to say that we have not. We
have long been accustomed to look with
profound respect to the Presidential chair,
the emblem of national leadership, so often
filled by illustrious and patriotic men,
whose virtues and valor either did much to
create or tr uch to preserve the liberties of
the American people. We regret most
siticere'y that we can do so no longer.—
Most profoundly do we deplore that from
such a source should flow —whence once
flowed a wholesome and uncontaminated
current, strengthening and animating a
brotherhood of people and a sisterhood of
States—. poisoned and dangerous stream
calculated, if not designed, to vitiate and
sweep away the liberties of a people. No
man ever entered that chair with so many
and amazing opportunities for doing good,
and for retrieving the jeopardized rights of
his countrymen, as did President Grant;
and no man ever so shamefully disregarded
them. He blasted in a day every hope re
posed in him. He wavered fora while be
tween the two wings of the party mainly,
but not wholly, responsible for his elcctiou
—plastic but presumptuous clay in the
hands of alternate potters—and then suuk
into the arms of the worst, to he moulded
by them Into an instrument for the most
desperate uses.
At the time of his election he had the
esteem and confidence of many whose self
respect soon obliged them to withdraw
their confidence, as having been misplaced
and betrayed. His lack of education and
antecedents necessary to qualify him for
the Presidency was well known. Men did
not think him great or fitted by culture
and reflection for his p'aco, but they
thought him patriotic and ho.iest. He was
said to be a soldier, with a soldier’s honor
and frankness; a patriot, with a patriots
large heartedress; and to be possessed of a
sterling common senso, which would stand
him in good stead for his universally con
ceded Ignorance in government. Many
helped to place him where he is from these
considerations. How infinitely great must
be IheiT disappointment, if not their dis
gust, we "’ill not pretend to fathom.—
Where, it is asked oil ill Sjdes and without
reference to party ties, is his alleged
soldierly honor and frankness now *-=»
Turned strangely to dishonor, dissimula
tion and intrigue. Where is the imputed
large heartedness, characteristic of a patriot
which would move him to do homely
justice to all men, and to strive to as
suage, and finally to wholly heal, the bitter
ness and animosities of the past? The an
swer, if there is any, is to be found in the
callous workings of his stolid and iusen
sate nature, as shown in his treatment of
one-half of his country, on whose people, to
secure his own re-election, and for no better
reason, he would visit mauy stripes.
Where is the all-atoning common sense
that was so generously ascribed to him,
one of the strong points put prominently
forward as covering a multitude of infirmi
ties, and which was in many ways to stand
in the stead of so much? Swallowed up
and lost in a dense cloud of ignorance.
But not only in our experience of Gen.
Grant as President lias be shown a supreme
■want of knowledge of everything esseutial
to his position, and an unfitness for the ex
alted seal of responsibility and power in
which he has unfortunately been placed,
that makes sensitive and sensible men
blnsh for their ruler, but he has shown no
disposition, nor even capacity, to acquire
needed information and lessen by study
and reflection his glaring unfitness and de
ficiencies. Antecedent, Presidents, even
the ablest, the best informed, the most stu
dious and thoughtful, found that it needed
all their knowledge, their ’alent, their
thought, their time, their skill in govern
mental affairs, and all their powers of hotly
and mind, to perform even acceptably well
the arduous and momentous duties re
quired at their hands and inseparable from
the position which they had assumed. Not
so with President Grant. He seems to
think that he can administer the Govern
ment wisely with half his mind—and that
the empty half—while, with the other half,
he occupies himtelf with matters more con
genial to his education and instincts, and
it must be confessed more suited to his
powers. Jlis thoughts are evidently not
as our thoughts, and such as they are, we
do not know that anything would be gain
ed by his bringing them to bear upon the
class of subjects that must, of necessity,
come before him as President.
Nevertheless, if but for mere appearance
sake, one would suppose that now and then
he would at least seem to think upon such
subjects. As to his time, he lias but little
to give to public affairs, and that little is
unhappily not given to advance his coun
try’s peace and happiness and common
good, but to the stirring upof strifes aud
heart-burnings with half-extinguished ani
mosities, showing a ready alacrity to co
operate and give form aud authority to
mischievous and lawless enactments. Were
he a complete r.ouenity where he is, he
could be borne, if not with patience, at
least without appreheuslon. But it is not
so. He is of importance, at least, if only In
that he can endorse and give effect to
iniquities. President Washington shrank
from exercising or accepting extraordinary
powers even when urged Upon him—pow
ers which, in unscrupulous bauds, would
be dangerous to the liberties of the people.
President Grant counsels their creation,
and seizes them with avidity. The former
understood the present danger as a princi
ple, and the dangerous precedent of confer
ring irresponsible power upon a President;
the latter understands nothing, and dumbly
reaches out a hand to greedily grasp all j
that is offered him. Such, in this regard,
is the difference between an unselfish pa
triot in the morniug of our history, filled
with solicitude for the future of a nation
he did so much aud suffered so much to
bring into being, and the self seeking, va
cant-miuded man, ignorant of his coun
try's institutions in aDy broad and com
plete sense, reaching out on all sides
to possess, himself of arbitrary pow
er, who now fills the seat which Wash
ington once filled. Nor has President
Grant any appreciation of the commanding
dignity of the place to which he has been
called and the consequent obligations that
rest upon him. Presidents that have gone
before him realized that they occupied a
station of dignity and honor, and recog
nizing what was incumbent upon them,
consecrated themselves while President
with patriotic devotion to the nation s best
interests and highest good. To President
Grant all considerations of this kind are
mere vapors, formless and void, floating
about in the wild waste of his untutored
understanding.
Our relations at home and our relations
abroad are at this juncture such as to re
quire at the head of affairs a man of states
manlike opinions, of political experience,
and of national and international knowl
edge. That, we have not such a man is but
too painfully and humiliatingly true.
Nor have we any present remedy for
the situation. To dwell upon it rnay help
us in the future —we trust it will—but it
cannot help us now. We mast bear our
burden and swallow our mortification,
albeit they are great. We are but reaping
that which we have sown, and suffering
the |*nalty of our own folly. We picked
up the apples of the Dead Sea shore, aud
we are now eating the ashes. At this, one
of the most critical periods of our history,
Geu. Grant is President, and sits In a
statesman’s seat!
