The Cartersville American. TUESDAY, JAN. 29, 1884. v- 1 — ———— Vanderbilt accuses Villard of squinting up and squinting down. W e guess be means getting rich a mazingly fast, and getting poor faster. Senator Blair has introducid a bill ‘‘to provide for the free circulation ot newspapers and other periodical pub lications within the State where they are published. In another column we print an edi torial from the Telegraph and Mes senger, headed “Rally ’Round the Flag.” It contains many truths which it is worth your while to read. Congress has wisely about conclud ed not to interfere to any extent with the tariff. Only one bill for this ses sion is promised, and that of such a nature as meets the approval of the entire House, The Capitol Comm'esioners have sent to New York for architect Post to oome to Atlanta and make a selec tion frbrn the numerons plans that have been submitted to them for the building of the New Capitol. Henry Watterson, of the Courier Journal, has been so unkind as to charge theiConstitution with being a republican sheet. While this is rather a harsh accusation, the Constitution wibely considers the source, and moves quietly on undisturbed. Irrepressible John Sherman comes to the front in the United States Sen ate with a set of resolutions which are an insult to the South. He waves on high the bloody shirt. He gloats in doing what should embalm his name in infamy and send him to history. Billy Mahone and Emory Speer are a nice pair. When we think of these two snakey individuals it is with loath ing and disgust. Poor Old Virginia! Poor Old Georgia! Are such vipers ever to be thrust upon you V We hope not. The Constitution thinks that the most important issue before the Dem ocratic party this year is democratic success. But to be successlui they must deal wisely and conservatively with the issues that are now before them and all others that may arise. Emory Speer has at last been con firmed by the Senate. Whatever sleep Emory may have lost thinking over the possibilities of his fate before that august tribunal, he will nowTnake up, and his official career will, perhaps, be a serene one ; unless disturbed by one of the many republican bosses of Georgia. Mr. Blount has presented in the house a memorial prepared by the ex ecutive committee of the colored con vention held at Louisville, praying Congress to reimburse the colored people the amounts deposited by them in the Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company. The memorial re cites the history of this institution and the connection of Congress therewith. The Smith family is said to occupy fifteen closely printed pages in the di rectory. If the entire Smith family were brought together they would bo numerous enoujb. to orful w j t j, Jones iamily tJ £*3sbpying a submissive province. A Mr. Smith could then become a presi dent, emperor, monarch or a king, with a Smith cabinet. Sarah Barnum, the grosly indeli cate French novel, in which Sarah Bernhardt’s character is so severely attacked, is said t# be meeting with an almost unprecedented u sale. And the worst feature about the sale is that some ©ld men, who have reached their three score and ten, and whose minds should be turned to higher and holier things—and, in some instances of no lower calling than ministers of the gospel—are found to be among the readiest buyers and most eager readers. The fall of Kiefer, late speaker should be a warning to politicians He was elected speaker because he was an Ohio man, and at that time the Ohio man was omnipotent. As soon as he was elected ho foreclosed his mortgage on the earth, and took possession, and attempted to push eveiybody else off. Ho snubbed everybody that had assisted him, and carried everything with a high hand, believing that the magic of tbe name “Ohio’’ would last forever, lie in sulted newspaper men at Washington turned out good men to put relatives jn their places, and made, a fool of himself generally. But his time came. His party dropped him like a cold po tato, and he has not a friend of prom inence on earth, that can help him. The other day ho got up to make a speech and all the reporters in the Bouse got up and marched out, and the reports only casually mentioned that he spoke, and they spelled his name wrong.' Keifer is the w r opst sat down on man in America to-day aud Be deserves it. the negro and public SCHOOLS* If them is one thing in The world that we do know, it is that the negro is well treated in Georgia. Northern fanatical philanthropists and selfish and unprincipled demagogues may succeed in convincing the moresu?- ceptible of this people that they are not receiving their just dues at the hands of the whites in tnis state But such scurrilous and base endeav or# are as impudent and unreliable, as they are mendacious and unjust. Last summer a few negro politi cians, into whoso tractable minds had been injected just enough pernicious misrepreseutatiojn to mislead them, held an advisory convention in Atlanta. After many of these petti fogging, unwise, demoralizing, re prehensible apd unpricipled rnalcon tents—these would-be leaders of the negro race in Georgia—had given vent to many silly, superficial, dis cordant, and noxious expressions concerning the “much to be pitied and greatiy abused colored gentle man, his needs and his rights,” the convention unanimously agreed that Georgia was not doiug her duty by her colored citizens; and that she ought to be forced to do more than she has done, or is likely to do, to wards ameliorating the condition of the race. They also came to the con clusion that negroes ought to be put on the County Boards of Education. Silly creatures! They did not know that such a course on their part would have the effect—if it had any effect at all—of jeoparding the generous and priceless privileges now accorded them by the white people in Geor gia. They did not know that it would be the worst thing in the world for them, should the state put into their hands all the means and appliances of working out their own destiny, educationally and in every other way.# They did not know that, without the cool, clear and sagacious intellect of the white man, to plan aud manage for them their higher interests, all their attempts to become educated would be as useless as a rope of sand. No, they did not know these things, and many others just as true. All they cared to do was to make political capital for them selves. Vain, fruitless effort theirs! May all such efforts wilt, wither and die just as quickly and surely. We have on our desk the letter sent out by Gustavus J. Orr, our State School Commissioner. Among other things Commissioner Orr says: “In 1882, the tax levied for the sup port of the State Government in all its departments, legislative, execu tive and judicial, was three-tenths of one per cent. The negroes returned property that year to the value of $0,589,876, a fact in their history which is very creditable to the race, all things considered. The staje tax on this property amounted to 'sl9,- 709.62. Now add tbtS to $120,127,70, ‘the sum paid by them to the support of their schools as shown above, and we have $144,897.32, a sum less than $151,428 26, which was the cost of their schools, by $6,530.94. It is thus shown that the white people, who really hold all the power of the state government in all its departments, allowed the negroes for the support of their schools more than the whole amount paid by them for all purpos es, and then took upon themselves all the other expenses of the govern ment.” By this it will be seen that the negro pays nothing—s6,s3o.94 than nothing-for the government his life, rSKiy'tiiSf property. And yet some of our exceedingly charitable, phi lanthropic and truthful friends who inhabit Yankeedom; some of our im pulsive, enthusiastic and cranky “New South” champions; and, some of our “colored brethren”—only a few of this latter class, we are thank ful to say—whose feeble intellects have been staggered and whose mi croscDpic brains have been addled by the miserable teachings of a fanatical philanthropy—yet, we say, some of these above mentioned people have had, and still have, the brazen ef frontery to declare that Georgia does not give the negro his just rights! The better informed and more sen sible of our negroes condemn, in un measured terms, the conclusions of that “Advisory Conclave” which held forth in Atlanta last summer. This is indicative of the fact that the democrats of Georgia are just and honorable in their dealings with friend and foe. It is evidence to the world that we are not what our “esteemed Northern Contempora ries” would have their readers think we are. ‘‘What is the matter, lore?” asked a St. Louis husbaud, as his wife burst into tears at his sick bed. “I am so afraid,” was the loving response, “that you will die, John, and as your life is only insured for $ 10,000, by the time I pay the funeral expenses and get you a nice tombstone, I wi.l have to mortgage the house and furniture m order to obtain money enough to go to Florida for the winter.'’ John was pronounced out of danger the fol lowing day. A Mobile man accidentally shot the tip end of his wife’s tongue off, there upon the New York Journal sagely remarks: "Some men are born happy, some secure happiness, while others have paroxysms of delightthrust upon them.” Bet it was not a ‘ delight,” but a kettle the man had thrust upon him for his reckless shooting. THE RESULT OF INVESTIGA TION. We promised our readers last week togivethtm a statement showing : what became of the money collected in Bartow county for taxes. It is j very natural that tbe people should want to know where the money paid into the public treasury is applied, and we are glad to be able to giv*> them information on this subject. Owing to engagements in the superi or court that required most of our time, we have not been able to make this statement as complete as we de* sired, but the figures given will show that the public money has not been wasted. In this investigation we have had a two fold purpose in view. The first was to give to the public information that they have a right to know, and the other to see if 'ur county officers had been faithful In the discharge of their duty as public servants. We are heartily in favor of hold ing public officers to a strict account ability, and we never expect to be found guilty of sugar coating any body’s faults in a position of public trust, or of winking at corruption and fraud in high places. The tax payer has rights that ought to be, and as far we are able, shall be re spected and protected. On the other hand we believe the laborer is worthy of his hre, and the public officer who faithfully performs his duty should receive the approval and commenda tion of all fair minded men. It is an easy matter to make charges against those in office, and we regret that this is too often done, without a fair and honest investigation of the facts. We suggest that if any tax payer in Brtow county is dissatisfied with the way his money’has been applied, he go to the record* of the different officers, as we have done, and make investigation for himself. If a per sonal inspection is denied, ora satis factory showing cannot be made, there will be time enough to appeal to the people through the public press. We believe that our county officers are faithful, conscientious, honest men. In our investigation we found their books well kept, and so arranged that any body who can read writing could understand them. Every opportunity was afforded us to get the information we desired, and the figures we give below are our own. We made them from the books of the county officers. Our figures in every respect may not be exact as, we made them hurriedly, but they approximate very nearly the amount of receipts and disburse ments. It will be remembered that the taxable property of Bartow couu ty returned for 1883 was $3598,193, aud that the tax for state purposes wass2 50 onthe thousand, and for county purposes was $7 00 on the thousand. This would give in round numbers a revenue as follows: State lax, $8 995 48 County tax, $25,187 35 Of this amount between two and three thousand dollars remains un collected, owing to the great number of tax defaulters, a part, perhaps half, of this will yet be collected and the balance will go to the insolvent list. By eur hurried investigation we find the disbursements to be as fol lows: COURT EX£fiSHES J ury Fees,, 5622 00 Ba jMfFees, 726 00 ** Fees, 778 00 Clerks fees (attending terms of court, issuing summons for Juries, Ac.) 290 60 Sheriffs fees (attending terms of the court, summoning Juries, Ac.) 389 00 Jail expenses (dieting and keeping prisoners Ac.) (about) 2150 00 Paid Free Press for adver- • Using 69 00 Paid Coroner. A. M, Willingham 154 00 Paid out for Pauper farm, court house repairs, fuel, bridge repairs, Ac. Ac. 4275 00 Cost of Bridge at Howard’s Shoals, 6,275 00 Paid John H. Wikle as clerk county commissioner’s court and for extra service Ac. 335 00 Total 21054 60 To this is to be added the expense of paying non-resident witnesses in criminal cases, hotel bills of juries when they are kept over-n ight in the trial of cases and many other in cidental expenses. We think this showing should satisfy “Citizen ” or any other reasonable man, that neither nine.y-hundredths, nor ten hundredths,nor one-hurdredth of the county money has been wasted. But that every cent of it lias been faith fully and judiciously applied. A medical writer asserts that wom en are constructed so that they can not jump. Just for the sake of argu ment we should like to induce the doc tor to let a mouse into the same room with his wife end c ose the door. Science doesn’t know everything yet. Young Nutt, the slayer of Dukes, has been acquitted on the ground that he was insane at the time the murder was committed, Buy thermometers now if you want to make money. They are now down to 30, and next summer will go up to 90. FAIR OL1) VIRGINIA. We love Virginia. She is a sister to grand old Georgia. Her history looms up behind us proudly and ma jestically. The shade? of her noble and mighty sons stil hover over and about her. Snatch from her keeping her wealth and her power; bind her, hand and foot; hear her down to the very dust, prostrate and bleeding; inject into her indignant veins an envenomed and baser blood; let her unscrupulous, ruthless and vindictive foes cast upon her fair name all tht* obloquy and odium that a vicious and cunning mind can invent; still wonld we love aud venerate Virginia Blistered be that tongue that would dare impute to her what io base and dishonorable! Palsied be that hand that would besmirch her fairescutch eon! Crazed be that mind that would harbor a thought of evil against her! John Sherman and Billy Mahone! Bah! Virginia! Brave in war and wise in peace! Lovely in prosperity, thrice lovely in adversity! What state has added so bright a page to the history of our common country—what state has done so signal acts of philanthro py and patriotism—what state ha.- furnished so noble a picture of well regulated liberty—what state ha.- presented so complete an illustration of the successes of that great republi can experiment of which our soil ha been providentially selected as the stage? ONE OF BARTOW’S FORE MOST NEEDS. We do not belong to the Grad grine family, nor do we claim fellow ship with Josiah Bounderby, ol Coketown,for these soulless practical matter of fact sort are clean out o< sympathy with every thing butfact.- and figures. But facts and figure!- often tell an important story, and frequently there is poetry and phi losophy in the dry record of statisti cal tables not appreciated by the su perficial observer. This leads us to announce a very important fact ac cording to the above named statis tical tables: viz. seven-eights of the criminals in our jails and peni tentiaries or on tbe scaffold’ belong to the illiterate class. This is the rule, and the exception is very apar ent. Now, what do these facts dem onstrate? That ignorance is the Cause of seven-eights of the crime com mitted, and therefore seven-eights ol all ttie evil and unhappiness in the world. Then the counter proposi tion is self evidoot; that knowledge enlightenment and education is the antidote or cure forcrirneand unhapi neas. it is not our purpose at preseni to discuss tho question of education in the abstract, nor to emphasize any one system to the exclusion of an other, ndr §# prescribe a certain style of education, but simply to die cuss the ail-important necessity of a system that will reach the masses affording opportunities to all alike for obtaining a respectable education. It is giaiifiying to note thai throughout the laud this question is comiug to the front,and ere long we hope it will become the question oi the times. Whenever this comes to pass we may kepe for gracious re '“Every question of public weal is pushed into the front rank by persistent effort, and behiud this great educational problem are the first minds of the country, And we may look for a revolution, and then there will be a general and mighty advance. Now let us in Georgia, and north Georgia especially, be swift te learn our duty and not slow to perform it. This question of ed ucation being guarenteed -to the masses, is not a speculation based on hypothetical conjectures, but a prac tical problem, and may become as bald a fact as any one in the economy of this Gradgriue. Let us be practical then and see. Suppose that some half-dozen of our best citizens in every town and vil lage should concert together in this matter, erect suitable buildings, em ploy teachers with a guaranteed sal ary, take the interest sufficient to se cure the school, why could not every town and village have a first class high school? Look right here in our county—the Stilesboro commu nity. There they have an excellent academy and the school is regarded one of the best in the county. A few men there are interested in the work, and become responsible for theschool The consequence is a continuously No. 1 school. And where is there a better community, with better so ciety than the Stilesboro community. Again, let there be unanimity. Let all the people unite in the good work The bane of the enterprise is divis ion anddisagreementssoeasily main tained and these ('ll kill a most laudable endeavor. Why it is there cannot be unanimity in this matter, is certain ly lamentable and inexiplicable. Again let there be no denomina tional or political feature connected with thes chool.but a school of mental training. The object of the school training is to fit girls and Doys to be come true men and women, ready to meet the emergencies of practical life. Then there should be secured first class teachers, and a correspond ing appreciation of them, and their grand work should be encouraged- There is no calling moie honorable, more exhalted, than the vocation of the teacher. The world is slow to acknowledge their deservedness. We rejoice tbaj tb© time i* past when an argument is necessary to secure the sanction of our citizens in regard toed~ ucatiou, and perhaps there is no other question that would be voted on more unanimously than the bare question—“School or No School.” But the how to have the school is the thinjf, aud this how, dividing the opinion of a few would be selfish lead ers, kills the whole thing. Now in conclusion, we appeal to every lover ot honesty, morality and virtue in Cartersville to consuls this question of education in the tight of a great necessity, For truly is it shown by facts and figures that where there is a lack of educa tion, there is a lack of all else that is ennobling and true. Let us have a first class school house erected ir. our town. We have in our midst the requisite teachers. Let us build up a school oftha first excellence in our own little city, and soon will there be seen the dawning of the morning of the glad day of individual, social and political happiness and success. RALLY ROUND THE FLAG. A few days since and the republi can members of Congress assembled in caucus for the purpose of outlining the presidential campaign. There was great harmony and a thorough unanimity of sentiment. It was not deemed necessary to refer even in cidentally to what the press of the country insists must be the com manding issue, viz, tariff, Any dif ferences upon this subject were re legated to the rear, and our republi can brethren pretermitted any ex pression of opinion upon the com mer dal and financial interests of the country. The exhibition of perfect drill and discipline upon the part of the foe we are to meet, may have es caped attention. It certainly has not developed noticeable criticism. The action of the caucus sounded the opening note of conflict. The repub lican line of battle, under a cool and veteran leader, has commenced the advance. In our issue of yesterday our readers may have read the battle orders of John Sherman, senator from Ohio, and a candidate for the presi dency. Under many whereases, he recites in detail the clashes that have recently occurred in the states of Virginia and Mississippi. As com pared to others of a like character that have occurred in the campaigns in which the white men of the south have endeavored to wrest the politi cal power of their states from a vile combination of carpet baggers, scala wags and negroes, the conglomera tion of vice, violence and ignorance, the emeutes in Mississippi aud Vir ginia are insignificant, though de plorable Both were the natural out come of an attempt, for partisan pur poses, to overthrow the chosen gov ernments of two sovereign state?. Unhappy Virginia is misrepresented in the senate, of which John Sherman is 8 member, by two weak and un scrupulous creatures in entire sym pathy with this movement. Indeed, they are to be beneficiaries in any success that may follow it. Missis sippi has two meu in the senate, and if a debate is sprung, when under the rule Sherman’s resolutions can be considered, they will be heard from. It may be said that what is known as the Danville riot has already been investigated by a committee of citi zens and a grand jury, and the re sponsibility for the violence and • bloodshed has been properly located. The law in Mississippi has moved in regular course aud the man charged with homicide will be summoned for trial to answer in due season* The Sherman resolutions may be passed. We hope they will be. The democratic party cannot afford to dodge or shirk any issue now tend ered to it by its opponents. We” have referred to the matter to show the animus and designs of tne repub iican party. It has held power for these seventeen years si nee the war, by consolidating the northern vote by appeals to passion and prejudice, its statesmanship, when dealing with the south, has not been able to rise above the negro and the bloody shirt. To-day it makes the humiliating confession through John Sherman and resolu tions, and through the action of its congressional caucus that it chooses to fight not upon great commercial and financial issues that appeal to the judgment, the intellect and the patriotism of men, but to the baser passions of their nature. The bloody banner is run up to the foretopmast and the faithful are called upon to rally us of yure under its folds. There are broad conservative and right thinking men of the north in the republican organization. They have been passive rather than active for many years in national campaigns. They have submitted to party rule and dictation rather than to make such resistance as might result in damage to their wealth aud business. They kuow that the south will uevar permit the negro and bis allies to their wealth and business. They kuow that the south will never per mit the negro and his allies to dom inate politically in this section. By this time it must be or ought te bc plain to them, that the country can* not advance in civilization and proe perity while one section continually attacks and the other is ever on guard. If this element does not rise and rally to the support of a broader and more patriotic policy than is embraced in the resolutions of tho republican caucus and tho?e now en gineered by John Sherman, 'he dawn of the coming century may tiud th** north and south further apart, estranged in interests and nursing the bitterness that comes of unceasing warfare.— Telegraph and Messenger.
