A writer in the British Journal

and carry our favorite poets in our
vest buttons. We will see “ anew
edition of Macaulay complete in
three shirt studs,” or “the tiny
edition of Dickens” complete in two
sleeve buttons. Every one will
then carry a microscope as we now
do a pen knife.
We clip the following from an
Atlanta dispatch of the 28th ult. to
the Augusta Chronicle <0 /Sentinel.
We are reluctant to believe that the
acting Governor could have acted
so rashly, eveu if he is as unscrup
ulously vindictive as such conduct
would indicate:
“A gentleman just from Washing
ton states that Conley has reported
to the authorities there, endorsing

intimidation and other unfair means.

this account of a third recently elect

Governor Austin, of Minnesota,has
been re-elected by tho usual Repub
lican majority,' and this in spite of
Jtbo &et that it was proved by a
label suit which tho Governor had
instituted against the St Paul Pio
necr that he (Austin) had obtained
§5,000 from the President of the
Lake Superior and Mississippi Rail
road Company, at thejtinui that a
bill was in his 1 amis so;- signature,
conferring valuable fr nohises upon
that company. Thi< is the testi
mony of the Pr.i sident in the suit
referred to, just as it wis sworn to
and taken down by the reporters.
The Atlanta Convention.
Hon. J. M. Smith the Nominee.
The Slate Dt mocratic Conven
tion, which assembled in Atlanta on
the 6th inst., by acclama* ion, nomi
nated the Hon. J. M. Smith, present
Speaker of the House, as a candi
date for Governor.
While we acquiesce in the action
of the Convention, and believe the
nominee will receive the unanimous
support of the party, we are not
alone in the opinion that had the
Convention been called at some
point away from under th* influence
of the Legislature, its actions would
have been different.
Bert in the choice of the Conven
tion we have a man against whom
naught can be said. One who is
eminently qualified for the emergen
cy—an able lawyer, incorruptible,
firm and resolute in the discharge
of every duty. One in whose
. hands the interests of the people of
Georgia will be as inviolable and
sacred as bis own honor and patriot
ism has ever been in times that are
past.
Believing, as we do, that lie will
come as near making as good a Gov
ernor as Fielder, as any other man
in Georgia, we will he content,
and enter the campaign with three
hearty cheers for Smith.
Cold Weather.— A Lawrence,

The Cotton Year—All Told.
—The following estimate of cotton
from all parts of the world for the
year ending September 30, 1871, is
from the most reliable source: Crop
of the United States, 3,225,000
bales; from the East Indies, 1,500,-
000 bales; Brazil, 550,000; Egypt,
330,000 : other countries, 250,000.
Add to above the excess of stock in
European ports, 254,000 bales ; ex
cess in United States ports, 45,000
bales; and in spinners’ bands 300,-
000 bales, making the total supply
for the year 6,790,000 bales Al
lowing that the consumption for
the entire year will be at the rate
of 125,000 bales per week, which
ta‘e can only be reduced by cx«>
tremely low prices, there would be
on hand at the end of the year 239,-
000 bales.

From the Telegraph & Messenger.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Washington, December 4, 1871.
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States:
CONGRATU I.ATIONS.
In addressing my third message
to the law-making branch of the
Government, it is gratifying to be
able to state that during the past
year success ha3 generally attended
the effort to execute all laws found
upon the statute books. The poli
cy has been not to enquire into the
wisdom of the laws already enact
ed; but to learn their spint and
intent and to enforce them accor
dingly.
DISASTERS OF THE YEAR.
The past year has, under a wUo
Providence, been one of general
prosperity to the nation. It has,
however, been attended with more
than usual chastisements and the
loss of life and property by storm
and fire. These disasters have serv
ed to call forth the best elements of
human nature in our country, and
to develop a friendship for us on
the part of foreign nations which
goes far towards alleviating the
distress occasioned by these calam
ities. The benevolent who have so
generously shared their means with
the victims of these misfortunes,
will reap their reward in the con
sciousness of having performed a
noble act, and in receiving the grate
ful thanks of men, women and chil
dren whose sufferings they have
relieved.
***** * *
[The President here makes a
lengthy review of foreign affairs,
which is of little interest, and we
omit it.]
TIIK NATIONAL FINANCES.
The national debt has been re
duced to the extent of §86,057,126,-
80 during the year, and by the ne
gotiations of national bonds at a
lower rate of interest, the interest
on the public debt has been so far
reduced that now the sum raised
from the interest accounts is nearly
§17,000,000 less than on the first of
March, 1869. It was highly desir
able that this rapid diminution
should take place, both to strength
en the credit of the country, and to
convince its citizens of their entire
ability to meet every dollar of lia
bility’ without bankrupting them.
But in view of the accomplish
ment of these desirable ends—of
the rapid development of the re
sources of the country —its increas
ing ability to meet large demands,
and the amount already paid, it is
not desirable that the present re
sources of the country should con
tinue to be taxed in order to con
tinue this rapid payment. I, there
tore, recommend a modification of
both the triff and internal tax laws.
I recommend that all taxes from
internal sources be abolished, ex
cept those codec'ed from spirituous,
vinous and malt liquors, tobacco in
its various forms, and from stamps.
In re-adjnsling the tariff, I sug
gest that a careful estimate be made
cf tbe amount of surplus revenue
collected under the present laws,
after providing for t’ue current ex
penses of the Government—the in
terest account and a sinking fund,
and that this surplus be reduced in
such a manner as to afford the
greatest relief to the greatest num
ber. There are manv articles not
produced at home but which enter
largely into general consumption,
through articles which are manu
factured at home, such as medicines
compounded, etc., etc., from which
very little revenue is derived, but
which enter into general use. All
such articles I recommend to be
placed on the “free list.” Should
a future reduction prove advisable
I would then recommend that it be
made upon those articles which can
best bear it, without disturbing
home production or reducing the
wages of American labor.
I have not entered into figures
because to do so would be to repeat
what will be laid before you in the
report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. The present laws for collect
ing the revenue pay the collectors
of customs small salaries, but pro
vide for moiety shares in all seiz
ures, which at the principal ports
of entry particularly, raise the com
pensation ot these officials to a large
sum. It has always seemed to me
as if this system must, at limes,
work perniciously. It holds out an
inducement to dishonest men, should
such get possession of these offices,
to be lax in their scrutiny of goods
enterred in order to enable them fi
nally to make large seizures. Your
attention is respectfully invited to
this subject.
SrECIE PAYMENTS.
Continued fluctuations in the val
ue of gold as compared with the
national currency has a most dam
aging effect upon the increase and
development of the country—in
keeping up prices of all articles
necessary in every day life. It fos
ters a spirit of gambling prejudieal
alike to national morals and the
national finances. It' the question
can be met with bow to give a fix
ed vunlue to our currency, that val
ue constantly and uniformly ap
proaching par with specie—a very
desirable object will be gained.
* * * * * * *
BUYING, Ur THE WESTERN UNION.
Especially do I reecoinend favor
able consideration of the plan for
uniting the telegraphic system of
the United States with the post
al system. It is believed that by
such a couse the cost of telegraph
ing could be much reduced and the
service as well, if not better render
ed. It would secure the further
advantage of extending the tele
graph through points of the coun
try where private enterprise will
not construct it. Commerce, trade,
and above all, the effort to bring a
people widety seperated into a com
munity of interest are always bene
fitted by a rapid intercommunica
tion. Education, the ground work
of republican institutions, is encour
aged by increasing the facilities to
gather speedy news from all parts
of the country. The desire to reap
the benefits of such improvements
will stimulate education. I refer
you to the report of the Postmaster
General for full details of the ope
rations of last year, and for com
paraave statements of results with
former years.
***** * *
THE ICU KLUX.
There lias been a painful duty im
posed upon the Executive branch
of the government in the execution
of the act of Congress, approved
April 20, 1871, and commonly
kuovvn as the Ku-klux law, in a por
tion of the State of South Carolina.
The necessity of the course pursued
will be demonstrated by the report
of the committee to investigate
Southern outrages. Under the pro
visions of the above act, I issued a
proclamation calling the attention
of the people of the United States
to the same and declaring my re
luctance to exercise any of the ex
traordinary powers thereby confer
red upon me, except in case of im
perative duty ; but making known
my purpose to exercise such pow
ers whenever it should become nec
essary to do so, tor the purpose of
securing to all citizens of the Uni>
ted States the peaceful enjoyment
of their rights, guaranteed to them
by the constitution and the laws.
After the passage ot this law, in
formation was received from time
to time that combinations of the
character referred to in this law
existed, and were powerful in many
parts of the Southern States, partic
ularly in certain counties in the
State of South Carolina. Careful
investigation was made, and it was
ascertained that in nine counties of
that State such combinations were
active and powerful—embracing a
large portion of the citizens—to
control the local authorities and hav
ing among other things the object
of depriving the emancipated class
of the substantial benefits of free
dom and of preventing the free po
litical action of those citizens who
did not sympathize with their own
views. Among their operations
were frequent scourgings and occa
sional assassinations, generally per
petrated at night by disguised poi
sons —the victims in almost all cases
being citizens of different political
sentiments from their own, or freed
persons who had shown a dbposi
tion to claim equal rights with oth
er citizens. Thousands of inoffen
sive and well disposed citizens were
the sufferers by this lawless violence.
Thereupon on the 12th of Octo
ber, 1871, a proclamation was issued
in terms of the law, calling upon the
members of those combinations to
disperse within five days and to do
liver to the marshal or military of
ficers of the United States all arms,
ammunitions, uniforms, disguises
and other means and implements
used by them for carrying outtheir
unlawful purposes.
This warning not having been heed
ed, on the l7thof October another
proclamation was issued, suspend
ing the privileges of the writ of ha
beas cornv.t in niue counties in that
Slate. Direction was given that
within the counties so designated
persons supposed, upon credible in
formation, to be members of such
unlawful combinations should he ar
rested by the military forces of the
United States and delivered to the
Marshal to be dealt with according
to law. In two of said connties
(York and Spartanburg) many ar
rests have been made. At the last
account the number of persons so
arrested was one hundred and sixty
eight. Several hundred whose
criminality was ascertained to be of
an inferior degree were released for
the present. These have generally
made confession of their guilt.
Great caution has been exercised
in making these arrests, and not
withstanding the large number, it
is believed that no innocent person
is now in custody. The prisoners
will be held for regular trial in the
judicial tribunals of the United
States.
As ioon as it appeared that the
authorities of the United Slates
were about to take vigorous meas
ures to enforce the law, many per
sons absconded, and there is good
ground for supposing that all of
such persons have violated the law.
A full report of what has been done
under this law, will be submitted to
Congress by tlie Attorney General.
* * * * * * *
THE MORMONS.
In Utah there still remains a rem
nant of barbarism repugnant to civ
ilization, to decency and to the laws
of the United States. Efficient of
ficers however, have been found
who are willing to perforin their du
ty in a spirit of equity and with a
due sense of sustaining the majes
ty of the law. Neither polygamy
nor any other violation of existing
statutes will be permitted within
the territory of the United States.
It is not with the religion of self
styled saints that we are now deal
ing, but with their practices. They
will be protected in the worship of
God according to the dictates of
their conscience ; but they will not
be permitted to violate the laws
under the cloak of religion. It
may be advisable for Congress to
consider what, in tlie execution of
the laws against polygamy, is to be
the status of plural wives and their
offspring. The propriety of Con
gress passing an enabling act au
thorizing the territorial legislature
of Utah to legitimate all children
born prior to a time fixed in the
act might be justified by its hu
manity to these innocent children.
This is a suggestion only, and not a
reconunen dation.
***** * *
REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES.
More than six years having
elapsed since the last hostile gun
was fired between the armies then
arrayed against each other —one for
the perpetuation and the other for
the destruction of the Union, it
may be well considered whether it
is not now that the disability im
posed by the fourteenth amendment
should be released. That amend
ment docs not include the ballot,
but only imposes the inability to
hold offices upon certain classes.—
When the purity of the ballot is
secure majorities are suig to elect
officers reflecting the views of the
majority. I don’t see the advan
tage or propriety of excluding men
from office merely because they
were, before the rebellion, of stand
ing and character sufficient to be
elected to positions requiring them
to take an oath to support the Con
stitution, and admitting to eligibil
ity those entertaining precisely the
same views, but of less standing in
their communities. It may be said
that tlie former violated an oath,
while the latter did not. The latter
did not have it in his power to do so.
If they had taken that oath, it cannot
be doubted they would have broken
it, as did the former class. If there
are any great criminals distinguish
ed above all others for the part they
took in opposition to the Govern
ment, they might, in the judgment
of Congress, be excluded from such
an amnesty. This subject is sub
mitted for your careful eonsidera
tion.
THE SOUTH IN A BAD FIX.
The condition of the Southern
States is unhappily not such as all
true patriotic citizens would like to
see. Local ostracism for opinions
sake —personal violence or threats
towards persons entertaining politi
cal views opposed to those enter
tained by the majority of the old
citizens, prevents emigration and
the flow of much needed capital in
to the States lately in rebellion. It
will be a happy condition of the
country when the old citizens of
these States will take an interest in
public affairs—promulgate ideas
honestly entertained—vote for men
representing these views, and toler
ate the same freedom of expression
and ballot in those entertaining dif
ferent political convictions.
*******
I have thus hastily summed up
the operations of the Government
during the last year and made such
sug eslions as occur to me to be
proper for such consideration. I
submit them with confidence that
combined action will be wise, states
manlike and in the best interest of
the country.
