The Exhausted Trasury.
The news comes from Washington
that the treasury is practically bank
rupt. It could not pay the money
now due on pension accounts without
more than exhausting all cash in the
treasury including the fractional cur
rency, the money deposited in the na
tioal hanks, and the small balance on
hand of the redemption fund.
It was stated nearly a year ago that
in its first session the fitty first con
gress had provided for expenditures
greatly in excess of the public revenue
and that the treasury would be obliged
to meet its obligations with the re
serve. That prediction is now veri
fied. The secretary himself confesses
that he caunot pay the maturing
bouds, and that he is obliged to rake
together every dollar and cent of his
resources to meet his curreut expenses.
There is no doubt now that before
the end of the next fisical year the
government will be agaiu a borrower.
This is the result of two years of abso
lute control by the republican party.
New Telegraph Line.
For genuine pluck and business go,
commend us to Jackson.
Some time ago application was made
by the Western Union Telegraph Co.
to the Fast Tennessee road for permis
sion to run another wire along the
road's right of way from McDonough
to Jackson, but met with refusal.
However, the Smith Ktheridge Co.
made the very liberial subscription of
one thousand dollais and induced the
company to extend the line along the
public road.
The work has accordingly been com
menced, and the new line will soon be
in operation between here and Jackson,
despite tlfe effort to throttle the enter
prise.
We copy the following adtitional
particulars from the Argus :
“For a long time every business
man in Jackson lias sorely felt the need
of a regular Western Union telegraph]
line and often the want of such conven
iences has been keenly felt.
llut we are proud to state that the
time has come wlieu this state of things
will only Vie thought of as being in the
dead past, and wo are to get the of
fice.
This line will come through the ef
forts of those ever alert and enterpris
ingcitizens, Messrs. Smith & Ktheridge.
These gentlemen have consumated a
contract with the Western Union tel
egraph company to extend the line from
McDonough to Jackson, which will
cost them, Smith & Ktheridge, one
thousand dollars. They pay all the
cost of construction and guarantee the
salary cf the operator, while the com
pany furnishes the instruments. While
Messrs. Smith & Ktheridge will pay
this expense the line will be a public
one to be used as any other of
fice of the Western Union company.
County Court.
The regular monthly .erni of Coun
ty Court was held Wednesday and a
considerable n umber of cases disjiosed
of.
Judge Turner dispatches business
rapidly, and the satisfaction of all
good law abiding citizens.
This court, as now conducted, is a
good thing, and saves the county large
amounts of money.

There will be a re uuiou of the 44th
Georgia Regiment at Griffin, Ga., on

We notice L. R. Ricks is running a

Your correspondent, “Claudius,”

three months at W. A. Hooten’s, seems

Old Gvard.
Tb« Monument.
I notice that there is a motion on
foot before the people of our common
country to raise a fuud for the purpose
of erecting grand inonumtnt in honor
of our late great chieftain, Jefferson
Davis.
IV here will this prund edifice !>e lo
cated, aud who will be reminded of our
late Confederacy and its only presi
dent, by seeing that costly pillar of
granite? The common people of our
country are now groauing under burden
of debt and enormous taxation, and
they are eutrtated by such men as
Gt n. Gordon and otf er nabobs to
conti iliute a lprge sum of moi ey to
invest iu this building to the memory
of Jefforson Davis. If he was such a
grand patriot, and did so much to pro
mote the interest of our land and coun
try, we need no speechless rock or
molten image to perpetuate his deeds
of valor and enshrine his deeds of love
iu the memory of his devoted couutry
men.
A volume has been written that com
memerates many of his worthy deeds
Let us buy that history of his life, and
read of his love for his countrymen.
All that was great and glorious in his
history may be known by children yet
unborn. We read in the sacred vol
ume of a poor woman who rendered
one single act, for which her Lord and
Savior said, “Wheresoever this gospel
is preached, there shall this, that this
woman has done, he told for a miracle
of her.”
I hat kind loving act of hers has
come on down through the flowing tide
of eighteen centuries. No sculptured
rock has been necessary to tell of her
act of love, and her memory will be
preserved when (lie name of Jefferson
Davis shall have perished in the for
gotten ages of the mighty past. Be
thinks if h s sainted spirit was permit
ted to return to this sin-smitten earih
he would hasten to tell his former com
rades of the crown ol imperishable glo
ry that is held m reserve for him.
V\ ould he not say rear no pillar of stone
in honor of my name, but take the
price and buy a potter’s field to
bury strangers in, or gather up
the poor orphans, and care worn wid
(lows that are scattered all over oti£
loved Southlan I and build an undoing
monument of rejoiceing in their heart,
by contributing to their aid.
I move that we postpone this monu
ment until we commission a messenger
from the empire state of the Southland
to visit the celeslial regions to confer
with the Sainted Hero in regard to this
question. I would suggest the name
of the brave senator elect, to be made
choice of as one who is willing to serve
his countrymen, not only m the nation
al councils at Washington, hut way up
in the sacred temple of the New Jeru
salem. Let him he duly commissioned
and dispatched forthwith to bring us
the decision of our now sainted chief
tain. We can soon procure a chariot
of fire in which he can speed gloriously
as the bearer of our enquiry conaerning
the will and pleasure of our former
chieftain. If he sends us word that he
desires to look down upon a grand su
perstructure, reared in honor of his
greatness, then let us go to work and
erect the most magnificent pillar of
Italian marble, (if our own country
cannot furnish something equal.)
But it will he time enough to pro
cure the marble after the return of our
messenger. We must have an Elisha
to see that our money actually “goes
up” and bring us a candid statement
of facts. But aside from all jokes and
nonsense, does it stand to reason and
wise econemy, for the people of this
oppressed land and country to take on
an additioud burden ? If we were all
going to the U. S. Senate, getting the
handsome little fortune of SG,OOO
every year for six connective years,
|3G,0000, we could afford to advise the
people to erect a monument over every
President who has lived since the days
of Abraham, dow nto the time of Ben
jamin, or his son Rube.
I am also opposed to the .f 100.000
appropriation to have Georgia exhibi
ted at the World’s Fair. There are
thoussnds of poor men in Georgia who
will never see Chicago, and have no
stock in that enterprise; neither have
they any in the great monument to
Jeff Davis Anti Monument.
