WfeWu #ra. 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. Committee adjourned until 9 o'clock to- 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 George P. Burnett, sworn, says: He isGeu end Agent for the Western and Atlantic llail- road, and has been since the first of January last; ho has general control of all the offices and books, and the settlement of claims; say* be has examined the books of a nnmber of the offices of the road, orul found no evidences 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; knows of no band, mismanagement, or corrup tion by any officer or employeceof the road: witness never received directly or indirectly 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. The committee adjourned at 2 o’clock until 9 c v. to-morrow. WxsTras awn Amanc Bulbocd Brvzsn- oatino Cownrra.—Wednesday, June 1st, 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: learning a little of everything. The libera 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 World to criticise, “The United States ii Afterwards received for the earn ings of the road for Dec. 1899.

The committee adjourned until to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. 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.

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.

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.

If we want lawyers of ability and character to serve as Judges, we must offer them something like what they might earn in their private practice, and enough to enable them to live in the style they have been accustomed to. 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* From the Trenton (S. J.) Sentinel. 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 REDWEVE & FOX’S COLUMN.

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 bull, Bingham and confrces will turn the State at once into rej^el hands.—Worcester {Mass.) Spy. From the Utica. (N- T„) Herald.

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.” NOTICE TO MOTHERS DR.
