Foreign Capital—The Barriers Against
it iu the South.
Some days siuce wo mentioned that
at its July term, 1875, the Supreme
Court of Georgia would be called on to
decide 288 cases, that number appear
ing on the docket as officially publish
ed. In point of fact more than that
number will come before the court,
there being some classes of suits, par
ticularly those for injunction, which
are heard and passed upon without de
lay as they arise. Altogether the num
ber of eases to be decided before Janu
ary next will amount to over three
hundred. When it is borne in mind
that, the court sits but, five days lit the
week, the sixth day being necessarily
taken up in considering the cases heard
on the other five, and that the lawyers
in each case are entitled to occupy four
hours in argument, even the ordinary
reader will see the tremendous amount
of labor the decision of three hundred
cases involves. It is not surprising
that the Judges of the Supreme Court
should inform us, as they do, in a re
cent published order, that the task is
almost superhuman. It is well-known
that by reason of the excessive labor
thus imposed on our Supreme Court,
the operations of the tribunal do not
give satisfaction either to the litigants
or to the Bar.
It has been suggested that much of
the difficulty is due to the Supreme
Court itself. We hear that it pays so
little regard to its own decisions that it
is the rule among lawyers to “take
up” every case of any importance on
the chances —trusting for a favorable
decision in that particular case, though
there may be a number of analagous
suits in which the decision is adverse.
How this is we cannot say, but that
there is some such general impression
is pretty clear. If the evil really exists,
a remedy should be applied. By amend
ment to the Constitution increasing
the number of Judges, or by the limit
ation of appeals, or by stringent legis
lation requiring a rigid adherence in
all cases to a decision once pronounced
in an analogous case, or in some other
way, it should be sought to give our
laws the certainty and fixity they now
so deplorably lack.
The necessity of stability in the law
is strikingly evidenced when we sur
vey the field of industrial development
of the State. There can be no materi
al prosperity for any people when prop
erty is unsafe. The reason of the in
security is quite foreign to the exist
ence of the fact of insecurity. It mat
ters little to any man how he loses his
substance provided that it is lost.—
Whether by actual robbery or by legal
flaws, uncertainties or delays, the end
is the same, the man loses his proper
ty aud is very eareful in the future of
risking anything more within the
range of the agencies by which he has
already been injured.
So far as regards our own people,
they must endure the shiftings and
turnings and eternal doubtfulness of
the laws on which the enjoyment of the
fruits of their toil depends, as they
best may. Until sufficiently aroused
to apply a corrective, ail the evils of
having the law this to-day and that to
morrow in precisely analogous cases
are to be borne with the best grace
possible. The uncertainty, of course,
stimulates the gambling spirit aud de
presses that honest industry which is
ready to endure all the labor aud pri
vations of the seed time in a confident
reliance on the rewards of the harvest;
but it is not on this particular aspec t
of the question that we dwell. Our re
marks are meant only to concern the
introduction of foreign capital.
We will suppose that some moneyed
meu of England or the North think
that there is an opening in Georgia for
the profitable investment, we will say,
of £5,000,000. Iu our rich but fallow
coal aud iron fields, iu our embarrassed
railroads, or in the great sphere of
manufacturing industry, it is perceived
that capital may, from a mere indus
trial standpoint, be well employed. All
the natural conditions of success are
present. So much money put in will
bring out so much more, aud the
£5,000,000 are ready for investment so
far. But something else is requisite.
There are magnificent natural openings
for profit in many countries where for
eign investments aie never made, and
never made for the all sufficient
reason that there is no legal
security that the investors will ever
be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their
investments. It is idle to sow where
one cannot reap. Of what avail, for in
stance, to enter on the finest paying
adventure possible in Louisiana or
South Carolina, when after the profit is
made govei omental task-masters stand
ready to absorb iu what are called taxes,
but are really spoliations, all the profit
made on the invested capital and pos
sibly a huge slice of the invested capi
tal in addition ? Men make money not
for the mere sake of making it, but of
having the disposition of it themselves
after they have made it. Law must go
hand in hand with nature, and the one
secure what the other bestows or else
mankind will not put itself out of the
way to secure benefits from which they
cannot profit.
To recur, then, to our $5,000,000 ca
pitalists. They Sad fine openings in
Georgia for their money, but what
about the security of the money after
it is put into the opening ? On this
point the §5,000,000 men take legal ad
vice. The lawyer tells them you are
safe under the law, as it stands to-day,
in putting your money so and so, but
what the law in the premises will be
to-morrow, I decline hazarding even a
conjectui’6. We have a great deal of
law in Georgia, but it is mainly a com
pilation of chances. On this page of our
statutes you will see that the faith of
the State is pledged thus and thus ; on
that page you will see the same pledge
annulled, vacated, and made absolutely
void. Here is a decision that A. is not
8., and here another decision that A. is
B. You can put in your money and
take your chance.
As gambling is not apt to be an in
vestment desired by men with $5,000,-
000, or any other sum of honest money,
it is not surprising that the charms of
the rich coal field, the struggling rail
road, the promising manufacture are
insufficient to allure our foreign capi
talists iuto risking their money on the
hazard of the die.
Our laws are not honest; they are
not certain ; they are not business-like
or up to the age. The very definition
of law is that it is artde of action; but
what sort of a rule can be constructed
out of the interminable contradictions
and refinements and distinctions which
disgrace our legislation and make our
courts pretty much so many Turkish
divans, where each Cadi does as seems
good iu his own eyes. While such a
state of things exists we cannot hope
for, and do not deserve, the introduc
tion of foreigu capital. True, we give
it the same measure of protection that
we have ourselves, and this equity is
the only bright spot in a dark picture,
but it is a reflection on our capacity for
self-government that all our internal
industries are regulated uot by law,
but legal chance.
Circus Tricks. — Somebody has writ
ten a chatty and amusing book on cir
cus life. A good story is told of a
manager at Glasgow who “hit on the
expedient of turning an Irish posturer
iu his company, whose nom d’arena
was Vilderini, into a Chinese. The
Irishman was shaved, stained, and
dressed in Chinese costume, and had
the name of Ki-hi-chin-fan-foo confer
red upon him. His appearance was so
far a success, that two veritable China
men, who had witnessed his perfor
mances, took him for a countryman of
theirs, but each time they inquired for
him at the stage door they were told he
could not be seen. These repeated re
buffs made the honest ‘Celestials’ sus
picious, not of his reality, but of his
treatment by his employers. Thinking
that he was held in durance, and only
released in order to appear in the ring,
they went to the Police Court and made
an affidavit to that effect. The unfor
tunate manager, therefore, was called
upon for an explanation, and was
obliged to put the Irish posturer in the
witness-box, to declare that he could
uot speak a word of Chinese, and had
never been in China in his life.”
The Bed Bug. —We knew it would
come. The Scientific American an
nounces that an insect, hostile to
housewives aud slumber, has been
purged of his pestilential qualities by
a simple scientific method, and render
ed a delightful and indispensable arti
cle of the dressing-table. By soaking
nice fat bed bugs in a saturated solu
tion of nitrate of potash and water, a
perfume, delicate, delicious, penetrat
ing, and like nothing else in the wide
world, is obtained.
Impressed by this revelation, the
Chicago Tribune says :
What au impetus this will give to the
slaughter of insects of this persuasion! Ni
trate of potash is cheap, and bed bugs ai e
plentiful. The underpaid clerk on five dol
lars a week, living at a dingy, third-class
boarding house, has in this announcement
the wherewithal to accumulate a compe
tency. Such is the value of the daily news
paper as the handmaid of science, and ben
efactor of the helploas and needy.
Now for the discovery that cock
roaches can be used as flavoring ex
tracts for puddings, pies, etc. Gabriel,
blow your horn!
A Modern Miracle. —ln Chester
county, Penn., there is a boy named
George Schick, who has seen a ghost
and found a “bonanza.” Here is his
story:
I was in a certain field, when I was met
by a very dignified looking, middle-aged
man, hauusomqly dressed, carrying a gold
headed cane, who asked me to take a waik
with him. I did not want to go, but I felt
that I could uot refuse him, so I walked
with him. We made a large circle iu the
field, and after doing so, he stopped and
said, “My boy, can you remember the cir
cle we have made?” I told him that I
could. “Well.” he says, “inside that circle
is a deposit of great wealth.” He then de
scribed a small circle in oue portion of the
outer one, in which he stated there lies the
great bulk of the wealth.
We learn that after giving this infor
mation the cane carried by the man
suddenly went into three pieces aud
disappeared from his view. The boy re
turned to look for the man, but he had
vanished. We dare say the “bonanza”
will vanish like the middle-aged gen
tleman; but fellows who are on the
hunt lor gold should leave the Black
Hills and invade Chester county, Pa.
Beecher.— The Plymouth Pastor evi
dently thinks he has a paid-up policy
in heaven. He may swim in a sea of
filth, but his soul, according to his own
statement, is clad in a sort of Paul
Boyton life-preserver. Mr. Beecher
began by being worshiped by his con
gregation. He now worships himself. -
Some of the papers congratulate the
world that the end of the trial will be
the end of the Gospel of Gush. Not a
bit of it. Gush aud Slush will abound
in that Brooklyn tabernacle so long as
Beecher lives, Shearman weep3, “white
souled Elizabeth” wipes her eyes on
the newspapers and Claflin waxes fat
upon “ crooked” silk sales. Some day
Dagon will have a great fall, but until
that time the sensual idol will be gar
landed with roses and adored by his
followers.
Wrathy.— From the scorching way
some hard money Democratic papers
speak of Governor Allen and his can
vass, we are inclined to think that they
would like to see a Republican victory
in the State of Ohio. Many men
would let the party perish rather than
have their opinions put aside. The
Radicals are attempting to sow discord
in the Democratic ranks on the money
question and eagerly do some Demo
cratic papers fall into the trap set for
them. Only by biting at the enemy’s
bait and the grossest stupidity can the
Democracy be defeated 1876. Would
to heaven we felt confident that wis
dom would prevail 1
Sensation.— The New Orleans papers
must have sensations. The Picayune
publishes a romance of the sea, telling
how some parties were wrecked in 1849
and have just been heard of on an un
known island. We advise them to stay
where they are. Times are harder now
than they were 26 years ago.
Rents—What Shall be Done About
Them ?
Quite a number of landlords, who
have dwelling houses to let, have ac
cepted the depressed condition of af
fairs and made very welcome and
handsome reductions upon last year’s
rates. They have acted wisely. The
majority of tenants cannot pay old
prices, and owners of property who re
fuse to yield one jot will probably dis
cover, before a twelvemonth has passed,
that they have made a grand mistake.
So far, we have heard of no Broad
street landlords abating their demauds,
though an earnest and anxious pres
sure has beeu brought to bear upon
them to do so. Propositions have been
made by tenants to pay taxes and
insurance, provided landlords wilj
scale their rates to the gold basis of
1860. If any property owner has
acquiesced iu this project we have not
heard his name. Would it not be
well for the parties most interested to
discuss this matter, temperately and
fairly, iu the public prints? We offer a
liberal space in our columns for such
an exchangs of views.
Iu New York rents have fallen 25
per cent, aud, iu spite of that, thou
sands of stores and dwellings have no
occupants, aud are uot likely to have
them, as the case stands. Are the ten
ants of Augusta not entitled to at
least some consideration ? If the land
lords think that any deduction would
be injurious or unjust to them, let the
fact be publicly known. We would not
do them the slightest detriment., and,
will take pleasure in giving them a
capital opportunity to present their
side of the question. Wliat say you,
gentlemen ?
Caught.— Mr. Gladstone is a great
scholar and theologian, but he tripped
on the Bible, recently. Iu an elaborate
paper of his on the Prince Consort, in
the Contemporary Review, the ex-Pre
mier makes a very curious blunder
by speaking of “ Daniel walking
unscathed through the fiery furnace.”
Of course, Daniel was not “thar but
Mr. Gladstone may imitate a hoosier
preacher who persisted in stating that
Abraham built the ark. A brother whis
pered to him : “Abraham warn’t thar.”
Nowise abashed, the preacher confi
dently retorted : “Well, if he warn’t
thar, he was tharabouts.”
Accommodating. —la a spirit of fra
ternity, after reading Judge Hillyer’3
Fourth of July letter, the Chicago Tri
bune thinks “Northern people might
accommodate the Judge by celebrating
the anniversary of Lee’s surrender,
from which time he might date the ex
istence of the present Government.”
Perhaps the Northern people, ere long,
may be still more accommodating and
wish Grant had surrendered to Lee.
There is no telling what revenges Time
brings about.
After Scalps.— There is trouble in
the Baltimore City Council. The victim
for expulsion from that body is a cer
tain Mr. Browning. This worthy
charged fees for his vote on certain
measures, rode in fine vehicles at the
city’s expense,, and “raised” accounts
in his own favor. &ome of the Balti
more people are beginning to believe
that it pays to be a Couucilmau iu that
burg.
Centennial. —The Union aud Ameri
can thinks we make “ too much fuss
over our poor little Centennial, when
the Japs have just been celebrating
their two thousand five hundred and
thirty-fifth anniversary! The Nashville
man must remember that the Japs, like
skinued eels, are used to it, and our
sensations are novel. There is a vast
difference botw T een the first baby aud
all the others. .
Thurman.— The Baltimore Gazette
sarcastically recalls tHe fact that, sulk
ing over the Ohio platform of last year,
Senator Thurman declined to partici
pate iu the canvass. The Gazette
should have added that Bill Allen
swept the State without his nephew’s
assistance, and, incidentally, “dragged
the Democratic party from the jaws of
perdition.”
The Schiller. —The Court of Inqui
ry report that a culpable neglect to use
the lead, when approaching the English
coast, caused the loss of the Schiller
steamship. The opinion is given that
had the lead been used at 8 or even 9
o’clock, on the night of the disaster be
fore the steamer’s course was altered,
the error in the reckoning would have
been discovered.
A Slight Mistake.— lu the New York
World’s article upon Henry Wilson, the
name of the Washington Chronicle was,
purposely or ignorantly substituted for
that of the Republican. The slandered
paper pours upon the high-strung
Gotham journal the seven vials of aqua
fortis and a horse-bucket full of liter
ary garbage.
The Latest.—A Chicago husband,
aged sixty-five years, becoming jealous
of a wife of forty Summers, relieved
his mind by killing the lady and mort
ally wounding himself. What the deuce
are men and women coming to in this
country ? Have honor and virtue be
come the rarest things on earth?
More Slush.— According to leading
counsel in the B-T case, we are only at
the first stages of the scandal trial, be
the verdict what it may. Can not some
body present Plymouth Church with a
crate-full of Torpedo Chickens and send
the lawyers to Yan Dieman’s Land ?
The Heat.— The wise man of the Pe
tersburg News says it is top hot to write
editorials We think so too, and only
scribble away to keep the printers from
making a similar excuse about setting
type.
A Real Novelty.— lmprovements in
wife-murder are noted. A Washing
ton, D. C., negro has divorced himself
by exploding a kerosene lamp over the
head of his dusky spouse. Another
argument in favor of gas.
Missino.--A small item of $352,022.72
is missing from the funds of the Chi
cago, Dubuque and Minnesota, and
Chicago, Clinton and Dubuque Railroad
Companies.
