ATLANTA, GEORGIA, s s JUNE 8, 1870.
Mir. W. K Chisolm and the State Road
Committee.—Mr. VTOBl Chisolm takes ex
ception to the words “enormity” and “rooted
out” which wore used in a paragraph under
tho nbovo caption in j’esterday’s issue of the
Era. Mr. Chisolm says he is no politician
and has brought forward these charges as a
duty to the community and has not “rooted
out” anything. Possibly there may be a
slight difference of opinion on this point, but,
to oblige a gentleman highly respected among
our business community we have no objection
to republish the little notice of yesterday,
striking out the enormously objectionable
words, (particularly as the paragraph will not
thereby be robbed of its sense) and by that
means hope to allay the choler wo have so
unwittingly “rooted out:”
“Mil W. P. Chisolm in the State Road
Committee.—Mr. Chisolm gave his evidence
yesterday before tho Committee investigating
the affairs of the State Road. It is given in
full, and our readers can judge for themselves
of tho charges whiehMr. Chisolm has brought
to light'* "-jJS
We will now examine very briefly one or
two points in yesterday's testimony. Mr. M.
A. Hardin swears positively that Mr. W. P.
Chisolm said to him that “tho arrest and
trial of Burnett would be a strong card
against the Administration And help to break
it down.” Yet Mr. Chisolm never deals in
politics, llr. Hardin swears that neither Mr.
Burnett or any other officer or employee of the
road got one cent of the $4,000. Tbit be
never said to Mr. Chisolm “they have spent
the money” but did soy “I have spent the
money.” Mr. Chisolm intimates that he
has other evidence to offer. It will have
to be pretty strong to break down such
testimony as Mr. Hardin's. Those of our
readers that perused the evidence of yester
day will find the account of to-day's pro-
wy interesting.
to stand, as nothing could bo done. Witness
then returned home.
The day before Burnett was to be tried,
Hardin came to Atlanta and told witness that
he would pay Mrs. Beck one thousand dollars
if Mrs. Beck would give an instrument in
writing relieving and exculpating Burnett
Witness advised Mrs Beck to do so, which
she di<l, and Hardin paid witness the thousand
dollars and settled the difficulty. This is all
witness knows within his knowledge; heard
things from others which the Committee ruled
out as inadmissable testimony.
Tho following was received and read and
spread upon the minutes:
Geort.ia, Baetow County:
This statement is intended as an explana
tion of a transaction between Mrs. Josephine H.
Beck and the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Mrs. Beck not long sinoe adjudicated a claim
between herself and said rood, in which she
empowered her brother, M. A. Hardin, under
a power of attorney, to adjust and settle the
some with the authorities of tho rood. He
done so, according to her instructions, he
having drawn the money and settled the
same. There being a settlement between us
M. A. Hardin retained a part of the money In
payment. Mrs. Beck laboring under a wrong
impression about the settlement blamed Mr.
Geo. P. Burnett and other officers of the rood,
and with out knowing thetacta had Mr. Burnett
arrested. This is to certify that I relieve Mr.
Burnett and all others from all blame in the
matter as well as all parties with whom it was
connected. In the transaction M. A. Hardin
my brother M. A. Hardin, having folly settled
with me the whole matter, I deem this but
just to the parties to make this statement
March 25th, 1870.
Signed: Josephine H. Beck.

Westebx and Atlantic Investi
gating Committee, Satubday, May 30th,
1870.—The Committee met at 9 o'clock.
Present, Brock, Colman, Lee, Parks, Phillips
and Twsedy, and was called to order by the
Journal of yesterday read and approved.
W. P. Chisolm, sworn, say*:. He has no
charges himself against the road; what he
knows is in reference to an arbitration ease be
tween the Western and Atlantic Railroad and
Mrs. Josephine Beck, of Bartow ooontj, (du
ring Hnlbcrt's administration,) on which their
was awarded to Mrs. Beck five thousand dol-
' Isn; Mrs. Bock appointed witness her agent to
attend to the collecting the money for her;
Hnlhert refused to pay the award, but proposed
to pay three thousand dollars if Mrs. Beck
would pay the cost of the arbitration, which
amounted to about five hundred dollar.; Mrs.
Beck declined to accept Halbert's proposition,
and the ease stood over until Blodgett was ap
pointed Superintendent; M. A Hardin,brother
ofMn. Bock, got a power of attorney bom her
to settle up the claim; in a short time Hardin
paid witness two thousand dollars forMn.Beck,
stating that it was all heoonld gat; about a
week alter Col. Farrow asked witness how
much mousy Mrs. Beck received in settlement
with tho road, stating he saw on the books that
a settlement had been made; witness told Far
row she had received two thousand dollars;
Farrow laughingly said that the boys have been
greasing themselves, as the books show that
four thousand dollar* has been paid, and ad
vised witness to look into the matter; witness
went to the depot next dsy and called on
Hotchkiss, the Auditor of he road, knowing
Mm to be the men who should have the papers;
Mr. Hotchkiss referred to bis books and said
ho oould find no record of it; A. L.-Harris, Mas
ter of Transportation, earns into Hotchkiss'
ofilce about that time, and Hotchkiss asked
Harris if be knew anything of that transac
tion; Harris replied yes, the settlement was
made under Mrs. Beck's power of attorney and
the receipts were all passed, but that all the
money that was drawn was uot for Mrs. Beck,
and turned and left the Auditor's office.
Mr. J. P. Harris, Treasurer, who had
showed some disposition to assist witness,
said he remembered giving a check in favor
of M. A. Hardin lor four thousand dollars,
and tamed to his -book and showed witness
the margin of the cheek; witness then left the
office and about an hour afterwards saw M. A.
Hardin, and stated to him that those fellows
have taken an advantage of you; he (witness)
had seen the books, nnd^ chock had been
dawn for four thousand dollars payable to him
(Hardin) for the benefit of Mrs. Beck. Har
din Mid she had got all ahe wanted, and if
they had stolen the balance down there it was
none of bis (Hardin's) business. A few hours af
terwards Hardin met witness and stated that
Georgs P. Burnett desired to see him at the
depot Witness went Barnett took witness
oat to one eom*r of the depot and asked
witness what he knew about the settlement
with Mrs Beck; witness replied that he had
•eer. the book and that four thousand doGars
had boon drawn for her. Barnett said he
thought ss yon were all connected nothing
would be said about it Witness asked who
got the money. Barnett said he drew it out
of Bank. Witness asked Burnult how much
be paid M. A. Hardin. Burnett said twenty-
five hundred dollars. Witness asked Burnett
what ha did with the balance. Burnett said
bankly, wo hoys took it to grease ourselves.
In a few days witness received a letter from
Mrs. Beck rasping witness for not represent
ing her better. 'Witness then asked M. A.
Hardin about the twenty-five hundred dollars.
Hardin said lie kept five hundred to pay the
expenses of the arbitration and pay him for
aoma money he had let Mrs. Beck hare; all
of which was mads asttsfimtoiy between Har
din, witness and Mrs. Beck. Mrs. Beck
afterwards took tbs matter in hand, and had
Burnett arrested. Tho officials of the rood
then sent for Hardin, who came down and
had a ooversation with Mrs. Beck and witness.
Afterwards Hardin came to witness
said he would have to stand
between the officials and Mrs. Beck, and that
he would have to be the man that would fifth
Witness advised Mrs. Beck to compromise by
their paying her another thousand dollars.
Hardin said they bad spent tho money and
could not get it, but that five hundred dollars
would be given; asked witness to go with him
to Kingston, stating that the officers of the
road would this matter settle, and that A. L.
Harris would go up that evening, and wanted
to know whether the matter would bs settled
or not
Witness and Hardin went up on the Goober
Train; witness went from Kingston to Mrs.
Beck's bouse with the paper (relieving Bur
nett) to get her signature and advise her to
take the five [hundred dollars, (Barnett still
being under bond.) Mrs. Beck did not like
witness' coming to see her, and refused to ac
cept anything, but said she would see her
Witness returned to Kingston and reported.
Hardin said that was all that could he done,
that Burnett must remain under, bond, mid
that ho (Hardin) would have to be responsi
ble.
A. Is Harris about that time arrived on tho
passenger train and held a conversation with
Hardin, and went on. Hardin (hen came to
witness and stated that the thing would have

road, and has been since the first of January

of fraud or mismanagement; witnisssays W.
P. Chisolm came to see him about this Beck
matter, and said to witness that ho desired to
do nothing tied would iujuro M. A. Hardin;
witness then told Chisolm that tho less be could
say would be the bettor for Hardiu; Chisolm
then went on to state bis purposes, which were
not to effect Hardin, hut get after the officers
of the road for political purposes; witness re
plied, “I have nothing more to say;” has never
bad anything more to ray to Chisolm; former
administration bad a General Agent; Tiros. E.
Walker held the position under Halbert; wit-
reoeives 8200 per month for bis services;

any of the $4,000 drawn in favor of M. A. Har
din on the Beck claim, nor does he know of
any person except Mr. Hardin, who did; wit-
never said to Chisolm “we boys took it to
selves;” CoL Farrow, Attorney Gen
eral, gave it as bis opinion that the road would
have to pay the $5,000, and witness understood
him as thinking it ought to be paid; witness
told CoL Farrow be would not pay the $5,000;
witness receives no other pay outside of liis
salary.

1970.
Committee met.
Mr. Brock. Chairman, proposed the follow
ing resolution which was adopted, to wit:
Whereas, the Committee appointed by the
General Assembly at its last session to investi
gate the condition of the Western and At
lantic Railroad, desires all the information
that can be obtained, and
Whereas, previous advertisements by the
Committee looking to the same end seems to
have been misunderstood. To this end there
fore
Resolved by the Committee, That if any
person knows of any fraud or mismanagement
baring been committed by the Superinten
dent of Mid rood, or by any of the employees
thereof; all such persons are requested to
make oat such charges in writing giving the
>r names of the persons by whom snob
baud or mismanagement was committed, and
shall givo tho names of the witnesses by
whom such bands can be proven, and the
residence of the witness, and all such persons
are reqnired to sign their names to the paper
fOn^ining p(f»|] cllWgeS.
Resolved farther, That this Committee will
bear all charges made out in conformity with
the foregoing resolution.
Resolved farther. That tho city daily papers
publish this notice one time.
M. A. Hardin, sworn, says be resides in
Bartow county, is not now and never has been
connected with the Western and Atlantic
Railroad; knows about the abstraction referred
to by W. P. Chisolm in his testimony of yes
terday, and was the sole manager for Mrs.
Beck. The award was $5,000, made in Sep
tember or October, 18(19, during Halbert's ad-
ruinutratiou. The award was predicated upon
damages done to Mis. Beck's plantation by
the backing of water upon it, and the perma
nent injury of the health of Mrs. Beck and
family. Sumo tiino after the award was made,
witness spoke to Hulbert about the matter,
and after repeated interviews, CoL Hulbert
made a proposition looking to a settlement of
$3,000 which witness refused, and the matter
was under negotiation until Hulbert went out
of office. Sometime after this witness was re
ferred by some officer of the road to Mr. Bar
nett as the proper officer bavin £ charge of inch
eases. As the term for making tho award, the
judgment of the court was near at hand wit
ness was not so anxious to settle as he had
been, as he expected to take a verdict for $5,000.
A short time before court witness, after re
peated efforts, was invited to come to Atlanta
and see if the matter could not be settled.—
After doing to, Burnett and witness agreed
npon an amount $3,000 baring been offered
by tbs rood, and $5,000 being the award, wit
ness and Burnett compromised on $4,000.—
Witness had full authority by power of
attorney fr. m Mrs. Beck to settle
np this whole ease, and npon the settlement
witness rendered np all the papers including
power of attorney to the officials of the road,
(here tho power of attorney, and official pa
pers, including witness receipt for $4,000
was exhibited to witness and by him verified.)
Witness received the four thousand dollars in
full from George P. Burnett, an officer of the
road or General Agent • Mr. Burnett got no
part of this 84,000, nor did witness pay any
officer or employee one cent of this money
nor did witness have any communication
whatever with any officer or employee of the
road except Mr. Burnett, the proper officer.
Witness paid W. P. Chisolm $1,800 instead of
82,000, as his testimony shows, and paid Mrs.
Beck 8200. The balance witness retained.
Afterward witness paid Chisolm $1,000 for
Mrs. Beck, Witness did not ask Chisolm to
go with him to Kingston, but thinks Chisolm
ted it, and did go. Witness said noth
ing to Chisolm about A. L. Harris* going np
and desiringa settlement; witness ni-Tcr spoke
to Harris about the matter at any time. If
Harris passed np on the train while Chisolm
was at Kingston, witness has no recollection of
it, witness knows be never held any conversa
tion with fUnirabout this transaction. (Wit
ness authenticates the instrument of writing
as read and filed on yesterday, signed by Mrs.
Beck.) Witness never said, “They had spent
the money,” as testified by Chisolm, but did
My be (witness) had spent the money.
Witness never said “he would be the party
that would fifth”
Burnett acted with witness in s manner be
aring an officer of tbs road. Witness
used all his influence, and appealed to old
school-boy associations to induce Mr. Burnett
to extend to him as much liberality as possible
but could not induce him to extend- any
courtesy beyond the bounds of his official
duty. Chisolm was to take Mrs. Beck's money
and pay her one and a half (1)) per cent, per
month; this, in the opinion of witness induced
Chisolm to take an active interest in the mat
ter. The reason witness withheld a part of
the money was from the fact that he had been
at considerable expense and trouble witoMra.
Berk and her affairs since the tbs war, and ex
penses and services in getting np the arbitra
tion and settlement, which amount witness
considered no more than a reasonable compen
sation. Witness did not know of bis own
knowledge that Burnett was arrested; W. P.
Chisolm did My to witness that the arrest and
trial of Barnett would lre a strong card against
the administration, and help to break it down.
Witness don't believe from bis information
that Mis. Beck ever voluntarily signed the
warrant to have Burnett arrested. Mynatt A
Dell were her lawyers. The officials of the
road never sent (as stated by Chisolm) for wit-
» when Burnett was arrested (if he was).
Witness dismissed.
MT1IX AND Aiusnc BUUOU) ISVESTl-
OATDto Camnrras.—Thursday, Jane 2d, 1870.
L P. Harris, sworn, soys he is Treasurer of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad; that W. P.
Chisolm called in the office and made enquiry
as to how much money had been paid Mrs.
Beck; witness could find no check drawn in
favor of Mrs. Beck, bat thinks A. L. Harris,
Master of Transportation, came into the office
of witness and the Auditor (both occupying
the same room); and Hotchkiss, Auditor, who
was looking for the papers, asked CoL Harris
if he knew anything about the Beck
thinks Harris replied the esse had been set
tled, and the money paid to Mark A. Hardin.
Witness then remembered drawing a checkdn
favor of M. A. Hardin for $4,000, a ind tnrne
to his check book and showed Chisolm the
margin of the check; does not remember hear
ing Harris say that all the money was not for
Mrs. Beck; thinks if he had said so witness
would have heard him. Sometime thereafter
witness was snbpeenaed to appear before Judge
Smith's Court and testily in the ease of Mrs.
Josephine H. Beck vs. George P. Barnett for
swindling; witness went to Smith's office at
the time appointed and was informed that the
ease had been settled. This is all witness
knows about the transaction.
N. P. Hotchkiss, sworn, says be is Auditor
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Says
he does not know W. P. Chisolm. Several
persons called to inquire about the Beck esse.
Witness was absent when the esse was settled,
and when parties called for information wit
ness bad no record of the transaction and did
not for same days afterwards. While witness
was looking for she papers for some one, A.
L. Harris came into tho office and witness
inquired of Harris if he knew anything of the
Beck cose. Harris replied the case was set
tled and the money paid. Witness did not
bear Harris say all the money was uot for Mrs.
Beck. Thinks be would have heard it if it
bad boon stud. Thinks Harris said Marie Har
din got the money.
Here tho Beck caso was laid over 4or the
present
L P. Harris, Treasurer, recalled, says it is
his business to receive and pay out ail the
money belonging to the road. When witness
went into office, January 5th, 1870, tho former
Treasurer turned over to witness:

tion of Cuba has always been ouo of his. pet
schemes, and it is one well calculated to com
mand the sympathy of Americans. His visit
to this country is quite opportune, and he will
doubtless succeed in securing valuable contri
butions to the Cuban cause, eve* if he tails to
induce the Government to recogftixe the inde
pendence of the gallant little island..
Democracy and Grammar.
Tho recent proclamation of the President
has stimulated a small species j of criticism
among the members of the Democratic press.
The obnoxious sentence, os sent over the
wires, reads thus: “The United States is at
peaee,” Ac. The critics say it shpuld be “are
at peace,” Ac. Alluding to Ibis matter the
Washington Chronicle says: “The proclama
tion, as written try the President end furnished
the press for pnblication, contaiaed the verb
in the plural form, (are.) It so appeared in
the Chronicle, and where it appeared otherwise
it was not a mistake of the President, but of
telegraphic operators or compositors.
So much for the fact, but there is no ques
tion that the singular verb is admissible with
the term “United States.” It represents a
Government, a nationality, and in that sense
may have a singular verb ns properly os may
Great Britain, which includes England, Scot
land and Wales. It is time that, in grammar
ms well as in law, we should learn to regard
this Government as a confederation of States.
It is one nation, one Government, and the
ler our speech conforms to this idea the
better.
In the present transition state of our na
tional nomenclature, “are” or “is” may be
used with “United States” os the individual’s
taste may dictate. We hope to see the day
when everybody will say, without a gainsaying

Jordan on Cabo.
Gen. Jordan has recently appeared before
the House Committee' ou Foreign Affiiirs at
Washington, and given them the benefit of his
Cuban experience. It will be recollected that
he lias resigned his position as Chief of the
army and is now Chief of the Army Staff He
appears to have every confidence in the ulti
mate success of the cause with which he has
allied his fortunes, and he speaks in very en
thusiastic terms of the bravery of the Cuban
patriots- They fight like heroes. _ They have
men enough- All that they need is *
ferial, money and supplies. He believes that
unaided they will archieve their independence;
bnt a little timely assistance might bring the
contest to a speedy termination. .
An this sounds very welL Bnt there is a
tittle too much of the couleur it rose about it-
Jordan is an interested party. And moreover,
it is well known that be has more enth
than judgment. As an officer of the United
States army, he was respected for his ability;
but bis literary tastes united to a rather vision
ary east of mind, prevented him from rising
to any eminence as a military man. lake
Lord Bacon be undertook the task of compass
ing the whole circle of human knowledge,
and it most be admitted that he succeeded in
Opinions of the Ilcpublicaii Press*
Tlio Organ of the Bryant-Bmdley clique of
Democrats publishes, from day to day, ex
tracts from Northern papers, which give Dem
ocratic views upon the Georgia question. To
make these extracts more effective, many of
them are credited as from Republican sources.
”\Ye give below a few extracts from the.com-
ments of Republican papers in South Caro
lina, New Jersey, New York and Massachu
setts, on the Georgia question that tell a dif
ferent and n truer tale : "
The Churrhraand the Indian Commission.
The annual season of Church Synods,
Associations, Conferences and Missionary
Conventions has passed. For three months,
beginning at Baltimore and ending at Mem
phis and Philadelphia, the daily press has
been crowded with the proceedings of
Ecclesiastical Assemblies. These proceedings,
in most instances, assumed a wide range.
They touched npon almost everything political
social, moral, educational and philosophical, as
well as ecclesiastical. But we cannot now re
call any important action originating new
missionary and Christianizing efforts, in har
mony with the new Commission appointed by
the Government, for our heathen at home.-
When this Commission of Friends aud well
known philanthropic citizens upon- Indian
affairs, was appointed by the President, and
this in difference to the opinions of the re
ligions world, it was expected that the power
ful ecclesiastical bodies of the nation would
co-operate with the Government, aud with
the Commission appointed by it, to educate
and Christianize the Indians.
Bat we have tailed, thus tar, to observo
anything of the kind. These ecclesiastical
Courts and Missionary Conventions, seem to
have been pre-occupied with other and
weightier matters; and when tho snbjeci of
Missions came np at all, the Hindoos, the
Hottentots, the Afgahns and other species of
European heathen, so monopolized the discus
sion, that our own heathen, on the Western
frontiers, were not thought of, or if remem
bered, not mentioned. One or two of these
religions Conventions did appropriate hand
some sums to the distribution of the Bible
among the Bndhista of China, and another
scut on additional missionary to the Fijees
bnt the heathen of the American wilderness
seem to have been handed over to Sbujjilan,
and the Quaker Commission.
The words, “Go ye into all the earth, preach
ing the Gospel, hey owing at Jerusalem ”* have
a striking significance. T^j injunction did
not imply u necessity for sending missionaries
to Iduma or Nnbia,or to the Hivites or Jnbisites,
until after the heathen and non-believers “at
Jerusalem” (the great Home Mission) should
first have an opportunity of hearing the Word.
To preach the Gospel “to all peoples and
tongues,” would seem to imply a necessity for
a beginning at home, and for extending the
work abroad as the Pagan and heathen, “be
ginning at Jerusalem,” should be the recipients
of the New Dispensation. Nevertheless, as if
to forestall disputation on this point, the great
Teacher added the clause “ beginning at Jeru
salem;” that is to say, beginning at home.
Charged to the Account of Apollyon
Rochester, New York, has another sensa
tion. It is not Noyes or tho Fox girls this
time. There is no Free Love or Toe cracking
in the new wonder. Nevertheless, it trenches
npon the marvelous. “A closet into which
no light or fire of any kind has been intro
duced, was discovered fall of flames. An in
vestigation led to the conclusion that the fire
originated spontaneously from some rags
which had been thrown into Ihe closet ”
Neither acids nor Lucifer matches had any
thing to do with the ignition. Such is the
story of a local paper. Similar “ demonstra
tions ” have occurred before. Bat (his one is
supposed to have some mysterious connection
with Hades. We should rather tmee the in
cident to a lighted cigar stump, or to tho pres
ence of acids in the old dothes.
Water for the Sick Room.
Recent experiments show that water absorbs
its own volume of some of the gases, and
more than six hundred times its volume of
others. Thus of ammonia, for instance, which
is one of the largest products of decomposi
tion, six hundred and seventy cubic feet is ab
sorbed by one of water. Among the most of
fensive of odors, anil which is always present
where animal matter is decaying, arises from
sulphide of hydrogen; and of this, water ab
sorbs two and a half times its own volume.
These tacts are interesting as affording the
housekeeper a knowledge of the disinfect
ing power of an element which is perhaps of
all others the most convenient A quantity of
water placed in open vessel in a sick room, and
changed often, makes an excellent disinfectant
Purity of Electloui.
With all onr talk about the Ballot os an in
strument of civilization, it is becoming pain
fully manifest that it is capable, in ihe hands
of bad men, of bringing rain and disgrace
npon free institutions. The Democratic frauds
in tho last New York elections, have digested
all respectable men; and it is gratifying to
learn that Congress will take the matter in
hand, and throw additional safe-guards around
the purity of elections. If this can be done,
our Republican polity will survive the shock
of ages, and the /* waves and weathers of
Time” will prodace no impression upon its
adamantine fabric; bnt if the will of the miob
is to riot in unrestrained license, the blind
fary of Democratic passions will speedily
sweep away everything that divides govern
ment from anarchy.
Judicial Salaries.
The amendment to the Civil and Diplo
matic Appropriation bill increasing the sala
ries of the Judges of the United States Su
preme Conti, has passed the Senate: It is to
be hoped that it will not fail in the House.
The salaries provided—$10,000 for the Chief
Justice, and $7,500 for each Of the Associate
Jqstfosl are not aa huge as they ought to be;
bnt they are better than the disgracefully in
adequate amounts now paid. If we want
lawyers of ability and character to serve as
Judges, we must offer them something like

THE GEOKGIA-BCLLOCK INVESTIGATION.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate lias
finally reported in the Georgia case recently
under investigation. The most that can be
made out by the committee is, that liberal
sums of money were paid the Chronicle for
advertising, publishing pamphlets, speeches,
documents, etc.
There was not a particle of evidence that
Bollock, either directly or indirectly, at
tempted to influence the vote of any Senator
by the use of money. He had a perfect right,
os has every American citizen, of presenting
his case in the most favorable light, and it is
not for the American Congress, through one
of its committees, to suspect a man's motives,
because, perchance, a majority of said com
mittee may not agree with the party interested.
If the people of Georgia wore satisfied with
Governor Bollock’s ability to conduct the case,
it is not for an Investigating Committee to
question his right to expend such sums as he
shall deem expedient, and for such purposes
as he shall judge best, so that he contravenes
no law of the land.—Charleston Republican*

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, May 23,1870.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate, to
whom was entrusted the investigation of the
illegal Georgia bribery case, has finally re
ported. The charge was, that Governor
Bullock hod been guilty of using money to
influence the votes of Senators, when the
Georgia bill was pending in that body. This
charge of corruption first found its way into
the papers through a correspondent for one
of the Chicago journals, and the country has
been repeatedly assured, with the most amaz
ing confidence on the part of a certain class
of correspondents, that Bullock’s guilt was
sure to be proved, and that the report of the
Committee would be one of the most damag
ing statements, as tar as concerned the trans
actions of the Governor of Georgia, that had
ever emanated from an investigating com
mittee. Well, offer patiently waiting for
three or four weeks, the country is at last in
possession of this important and remarkable
document That it is a truly “remarkable”
production, one has bnt .to read to be con*
vinced. . £
It amounts to this and nothing more. An
important committee of the National Legisla
ture, charged with the investigation of an
absurd rumor, (for it never was anything
more than aramor,) that some of tho afore
said legislators had been tampered with by
outside parties, forgot the duty with which it
was charged, and proceeded to try one of the
prominent journals of this city, a paper,
whatever may be the eccentricities of its pro
prietor, that has done as much for the ad
vancement of the Republican cause, aud for
the rights of man, as any journal in the
Union.
The Chronicle has been the principal target
aimed at, ever since the investigation began.
Gov. Bullock felt the power of the press, and
that the people might be informed of the true
state of affairs in Georgia, procured the publi
cation of sundry speeches, pamphlets, editor
ials, and such divers other articles as had a
bearing npon the case in question and paid for
them as any honest man ought to do, without
cavil or question. Whether Forney charged
him double, treble or quadruple prices for this
labor of liis journal, is no more the business
of a committee of Congress than it is to know
how much his landlord may charge him for his
hotel accommodations.
Governor Bullock hod the undoubted right,
as has every American citizen, of presenting
his case to the Notional Legislature and the
people in his own way, at ms own pleasure,
and at whatever expense ho deemed lust and
proper, or was willing to pay. If the Chronicle
made a good thing out of the matter, what
bos Congress to do with that transaction?
As soon as Forney had sworn that he knew
nothing about the use of any money to in
fluence Senatorial votes, that should have
closed the examination, os Cm os that gentle
man was concerned; bnt no, this astute com
mittee had gotten the scent, or were made,
by a certain class of correspondents, to be
lieve they were on the track of tho game, and
determined to know something of tho private
business affairs of one of our prominent news
papers.
Not content with the ordinary examination
of his books and papers, but taking the exam
ple of their worthy compeers on the McFarland
trial, Graham«and Spencer, they subjected
these books to the microscopic test to discover,
if possible, some alteration in the figures, but
after tho closest possible scrutiny, came to the
conclusion that the books bad not been tam
pered with, and that Forney had done nothing
more than a good business transaction.
The Committee exonerate Bollock from any
and all of these charges of corruption, bnt they
take the trouble to go ont of their way to lag in
something entirely foreign to tho question,and
say the Chronicle has received very liberal al
lowances for doing this kind of work. Well,
supposing it has, what has Congress to do with
that ? Hardly one of these lawyers on the Ju
diciary Committee but that receives many times
more pay than he is worth, simply because he
he is supposed to havo a better chance, or
rather a better knowledge of the proper method
to defeat, in the Supreme Court, the very laws
he is paid to enact
These correspondents before hUaded to,
have become a land of close corporation, a
mutual admiration society, and when one con*
eludes to blow bis trumpet, the whole gong
take up the bark and echo it like n pock of
wolves close on their prey. These journals
being scattered over a wide expanse of conn-
try, induces people not acquainted with the
way these things are done, to believe there
must be something in these stories, when all
the papers contain something or other abont'*
it (Several of these correspondents have their
headquarters in one roonyjfad often write at
the same table. Of course? what one knows
they all know, and when one of them puts Ids
finger in the fire and gets burned, why thoy
all flock around to administer sympathy, h
this way the truth often goes untold. . These
fellows know very well what the n&tarraw
evidence in this Georgia cose was, and yet not
one of them had the* manliness to come out
and correct his false impressions by giving
the tacts, but some of them endeavored to loot
people off on another scent, by making pre
dictions as to what the Chrofiicle wonld do.
• • - . , •*'•• • •
The Senate has spent several hundred dol
lars in this investigation, the newspapers have
had their sensation, Gov. Bullock has bften
triumphantly vindicated, and tho only per-
With his reputation, his life, and the existence
of the party ho represented, thus at stake, he
manfully stood in the brcaoh, and freely gave
his labor and his money in tho honest effort
to carry out what he believed to be tha recon
struction policy of Congress. The ultimate
success of that policy in his State, he, in com
mon with thousands of good Republicans, be
lieved was involved in tuo defeat of tho Bing
ham amendment To defeat that amendment he
very natnrally exerted himself, laboring open
ly and boldly to disseminate through tho press,
foots and ideas bearing upon the question, and
paying for it in his own money. This, and this
only, n the head tunl Ami* of i**u If
tho course he took is illegitimate, it would be
difficult to shield from censure the friends of
every bill of importance that passes Congress.
Mr. Bullock properly and pertinently asks:
“Were the friends of ‘free trade,* or of ‘pro
tective tariff,’ ever censured for publishing ar
guments, speeches or statistics, os using im-
iroper means to influence • the votes or Sena-
ora.”
We believe that those who candidly read
both sides of the question, will come to the
conclusion that the majority report of tho Ju
diciary Committee does great injustice to Gov.
Bullock, and will agree with the minority when
they say that “he acted honorably and tairly
throughout the whole controversy.’’
THE BULLOCK INVESTIGATION.
We may be mistaken, but really it seems
that if censure belongs anywhere, it properly
lies at the door of the five “grave and reverend
seignors” who undertook recently, in the face
of such flimsy pretexts, to fasten a crime npon
the executive of Georgia. Look at their own
situation for a moment.
It is a notorious fact in the political liistoiy
of the present session, that the Senate Judici
ary Commitee have prcsisteutly sought to con
trol tho remaining reconstruction issues in the
interest of a conservative policy. Senator
Trumbull, for instance, has been from the be
ginning of the Georgia imbroglio, the attorney
and counsel, almost, of Joshua Hill and Dr.
Miller, claiming seats in tho Senate, and from
sons who ore likely to suffer are the tax pgv
who pay their money to keep up just
kind of splendid farce. . -
Investigating committees are only other,
and more polite terms for swindles.
From the Rochester, (N. Y.) Democrat of
the 2Gth inst, we copy the following:
On tho inside of this paper will he found
the letter of Governor Bollock, of Georgia, in
response to the majority report of tho senate
Judiciary Committee, in which he is charged
with having ‘Used improper means to in
fluence the votes of Senators on the Georgia
bill.” We think no one can carefully read the
Governor’s statement without being impressed
with the belief that grave injustice has been
perpetrated by the Committee. The only
alleged facts npon which the Committee base
their censure, are that Governor Bollock ex
pended about $4,000, to pay for printing
“pamphlets, articles and speeches on tho
Georgia question,” and, that tho price paid by
him was exorbitant. There wag not a particle
of evidence adduced proring that any attempt
was made by him to influence the voice of
Senators improperly, unless it may be con
sidered improper to publish and circulate in a
r tly public manner tacts and arguments
ig upon a question pending before Con
gress. Every dollar of tho $4,000 in question
was the Governor’s own monoy. The commit
tee theruselres say “Governor Bollock’s tes
timony shows that most of the speeches and
papers for which he pud were sent and dis
tributed in Georgia; that with the exception,
in round numbers, of tho $4,000 paid the
Chronicle office, and $500paid the Globe, and
the $1,400 loaned the colored men, the balance
of the $14,500 drawn by him while in Wash
ington, was used about his own private affairs,
(the expenditure of tho larger portion of
which he explained to the committee) and
without any reference whatever to legislation;
and that he did not know of any attempts by
any one to influence a Senator.”
Governor Bullock is the head of the Repub
lican party in Georgia. As such he has been
from tho first assailed with all the weapons
known to unrepentant rebels, and malignant
Democratic partisans, both in the North and
the South. Slander has blackened his name,
and assassins have sought to take his life.—
We have repeatedly urged the importance of
demanding a full compliance with all the re
quirements of the reconstruction acts, by the
people of Georgia. We hopo the eloquent ap
peal of Gov. Bullock will not be without a
salutary effect npon both houses of Congress.
On Friday the Daily Chronicle performed
one of the most skillful and successful surgical
operations we have ever witnessed on the four
“Conserrativo”membersofthat body. They
had been charged with tho duty of examining
into tho allegation that there had been corrupt
measures used to influence tho Senate against
the Bingham amendment to tho Georgia re-
servattre” majority, hating performed that
duty and found no troth In it, went out of
their way to pry into the private affairs of the
Chronicle office. They insisted'on knowing
what its publisher received for advertising and
job work. Thinking he had received o little
too much - for ^certain work relating to the
Georgia bilL they took it upon themselves to
make certain dishonorable reflections upon
him. He retaliated in a scathing review of
their conduct, almost literally flaying them.
If this article don't satisfy them that they are
not working in the interest of the Republican
>arty, and arc in honor bound to take the
lack track, or go straight over to the enemy,
they differ from the great majority of the Re
publican party. At any rate they must now
sincerely regret, if they are not wise enough
to confess, that they have committed this gross
outrage of meddling with Mr. Forney's private
accounts.
It is well for Republicans everywhere to re
member, that the Senate Judiciary Committee
did not discover one single tact to prove that
he had attempted to buy up any of them. Not
a single fact reflecting in the slightest degree
upon his integrity, or showing that he had ex
pended a dollar except in a perfectly legitimate

came out of the inquisition-with clean hands.
No citizen of Georgia, official, or private, was
Georgia. Edmunds has doubled (as was his
right), the . practicability of rightfalness of
fundamental conditions. Mr. Tipton lias
been “spooney” on general amnesty-
going with Greeley—for some time. Carpen
ter has not yet forged tar Enough ahead
ot his old Democratic associations to see that
State’s Bights is and mast continue to be a
nuisance, until there is power sufficient em
braced in’ tho central government, direct,
understood and implied, to protect the politi
cal and personal rights of the humblest citizen
from interference by popular passion or local
prejudice, whether here or in the farfberest
township of the most distant State. As for
Conkling, he naturally seeks to aggrandize
his office. He believes in the old law Latin
maxim—that a good judge always amplifies
liis jurisdiction. Now the Senate majority
have snubbed these gentlemen quite severely
several times during the past few months.
Texas was taken ont of their hands. Mississip
pi, Virginia, and the General Ames case were
all defeats of their policy. Georgia has been
no special triumph to them. All they
have done lias been to muddle mat
ters. The Georgia investigation looks
S ood deal like a bit of spite, because of
icse defeats, as well os a shrewd dodge to in
fluence the senatorial mind and prevent a new
defeat. In this latter case they succeeded for
the time being, only to be beaten worse in the
end. Just look at the affair for a moment, and
see on what a slender foundation the matter
rests? The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial influenced, os he testifies, by Mr.
Joshua Hill, (who has a possible seat in tho
Senate banging on tho result,) telegraphed a
rumor that Gov. Bollock was using Georgia
bonds to influence votes. It returns here
the day before tho vote was to be token.—
Judge Edmunds proposes an investigation. It
is ordered of course. The committee meet
and the result proves what ?—that some one
named Porter—who may or not have been
authorized to offer what he did, (for there Ls
no evidence to prove that he was) went to
a well-known congressional Lawyer and agent,
to see if Mr.. Carpenter's coarse of
action could be ascertained. He said ho had
$10,000 in bonds to divide, uot with Sen
ator Carpenter, but with Mr. Hughes and him
self. It then appears that a railroad man
named Avery had declared that lie would give
that amount of Georgia bonds, belonging to
the railroad corporation of which he is a mem
ber, in order to know definitely or influence
tho ntdi favorably ngninnt tho
amendment Mr. Avery Ls or was building
tiie Brunswick Railroad, in Georgia. He has
been driven away aud the work is suspended;
with tho Binghayi amendment made into law
Mr. Avery knows that he may as well ceaso
trying to construct this important railroad, for
ho and his will not obtain security. It was
rather natural, however reprehensible, fora
man so situated to say that he would give
$10,000 to know how the Senate would act on
the matter. It is just such anxious people as
this the Porters delight to find. 2xa all the
cases, it is the agents who pocket the funds.
From the evidence Gov. Bullock is not shown
to have known anything of this matter.
The truth is, that the fight against Gov.
Bollock is a piece of personal malice, into
which some Senators, offended at their views
having been overridden, have allowed them
selves to be drawn. His policy is the one by
which Georgia will bo saved; tbatiof Trum

•Inch will lead to a snbstitntion for them of I
any of the objects aimed at by the rebeUiorr.
We did not surrender to the rebel leaders on
the battle-field, nor acknowledge the justice of
the dogmas which they fought to sustain; we
cannot surrender to them now, and render in
vain the sacrifice of blood and treasure which
gave, us the victory. They were compelled to
surrender to ns by force of arms; they must
now acknowledge the defeat of their cher-
isheft notions, and accept the political terms
tendere^them by tho conqueror. There can
be no compromise, bnt no honorable and last
ing peace, without this acquiescence of the
defeated but forgiven foe—forgiven on the
condition that he goes and sins no more.
An honorable foe always acknowledges de
feat antPsubmita in of honorableWay- He is
neither dictatorial nor treacherous, but easily
becomes the friend of ihe generous conqueror.
But the rebel leaders of Georgia, now mar
shaled under the Democratic banner, refuse to
oSflept the easy terms proffered by the conque
rors and openly propose to prolong ths strug
gle indefinitely. Here is what the Savvannoh
Morning News, a leading Democratic organ in
Georgia, said on the 19th instant: “ It wasin
reconstructed first. ’ This was a tacit acknowl
edgment of her power and influence. But
Georgia would not aud will not bo reconstruct
ed radically, save at tho point of the bayo
net. If the other States had followed her lead,
in.place of compromising ox Virginia and Mis
sissippi havc%lone, tho Radical party would
have been beaten at every point in tho coming
campaigns."
This is a babbling up of the spirit that
whimpered over General Lee: '“We were over
powered, but not whipped!” Got. Bullock is
right in saying that there can be no surrender
in Georgia without an abandonment by Con-
gress of the men who have incurred the enmity
of the rebel leaders by sustaining the recon
struction measures proposed by itself, and
which it is in duty bound to enforce for the
sake of its friends and for the sake of the wel
fare of the nation. The Governor admits that
a surrender by Congress “would bring peace
to Georgia; but it would be the peace of death.
Republican principles would be abandoned
forever, and the one hundred and six thousand
loyal men who voted for and carried tho con
vention and constitution wonld be heard no
more. There is no ‘amnesty’ with rebels for
men in Georgia who hare dared to be Repub
licans and to sustain measures which enfran
chised the black man. There is no *relief
from the disability,’ except in death, in sub
mission, or in flight.”
Politically, tho democrats in Georgia—and
elsewhere, as for that matter—hoist too black
flag. They announce their determination to
“die in the last ditch,” and show no quarter.
Congress and toe people must meet them as
Grimy as they did from-18CI to I8C5. The
choice is between extermination and that un
flinching attitude which will make us masters
of too situation. We must demand the same
tempt of Georgia that have been demanded of
and accepted by Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas. This is what too friends of toe Union
in Georgia desire, and what they must havo, if
tli»t State is to remain their abiding place.
Deny this to them or withhold it from them,
and with Congress will rest toe responsibility
for the sacrifice of toe reputation, toe lives and
the property of too men who havo been de
stroyed for daring to uphold its measures—the
responsibility for the utter destruction of re
publicanism in Georgia.”
