The Statu* of Oeoi #ln.
It is sometimes tlio case that little
boys propound questions that puzzle
old heads, and when we were asked
this question, the Status of Georgia,
or what relation Georgia sustains to
the general government, we were at a
loss to answer. She is not a Stato,
neither is she a Territory, and she
cannot be alone a Military division,
as she has a Governor, a Legislature,
etc., as well as a military commander.
\\ e do not know a better name for
Georgia than to call her a Medley. — I
The Rada use her as suits their con
venience, either as Stato, Tewitory, or
Military Division. The seat of gov
ernment has been moved to Washing
ton city and we are indebted to Con
gress for dictation as to what shall be
done
As we do not profess to be a Statist
we will turn the question over to our
brethren of the Press.
Advertising Agencies.
Our dealings with Advertising Agen
cios with a few honorable exceptions
has not been pleasant nor remunera
tive.
Asa class they seem to think that
newspaper men can work for nothing
and board themsolve j, and that they
are confeiing quite a favor by supply
ing matter to Jill up. W e were led to
believe that Griffin & Hoffman wore
reliable and liberal agents, but on re
ceiving an advertisement from them
saying insert so long and charge this
agency so much, subject to a deduc
tion of usual commission, we coiuo to
the conclusion that such liberality
therein displayed would soon perish
us out, and declined the offer.
In answer to Bro. Styles wo say,
that in our opinion it would bo better
tor the Press of Georgia to steer clear
of a largo majority of these agencies,
and require pre-payment of all foreign
advertisements, unless good reference
is given, and rather than violate the
terms of the Association, to let our
'•damns be blank.
Con liter teller*.
The Albany Kites of the 24th says
it J. It. Harrell, of New York, and
J. Harrell, of Ga., wore arrested in
-übany on last Thursday for passing
■ uuteffeit money. Several of the
n-chants were duped, and in one in
stance, a twenty dollar bill, passed by
■> j of the party, was redeemed. They
. .h protested against the charge of
Lully uttering the counterfeit bills
i .ill any criminal intention, but there
.as so large an amount of tho spuri
ous bills found iu thoir room, that they
were held to trial, and each bound
over in the sum of SSOO, to appear at
the next Superior Court of Dougherty
county. We learu that the United
States authorities took cognizance of
the matter, and arrested 8. J Harrell,
who gave bond in the sum of $2,500.
No information of the arrest of J. R
Harrelll, by the U. 8. Marshall, and
suppose him non e*t eomatibui. The
bills in the package found in their
room are all Twenties, and on the
Oneida National Bank of Utica—are
badly executed, and on inferior paper,
and can be detected by any one who
uses precaution.
P. S. Since writing the above we
learn that J. R. Harrell has been ar
rested by Deputy Ma- shall Bancroft,
and sent to M awn for examination.
Resign'd. —Dr. Bard, recently com
missioned as Governor of Idaho, has
resigned, and it is currently reported
that he will make Georgia his home,
and take the field against Bullock in
the coming election. We see nothing
to censure in this movement of the
Governor, provided he pursues the
right kind of policy; and, in fact,
would be glad to know that he would put
forth his energy and exert his influ
ence to the same extent for the cause
of Democracy that he did for Bullock
in 1868. But, if he exacts to float
in anv other channel—if he contem
plates the idea of saying or doing
anything calculated to sever the Dem
ocratic ranks, or for his own promo
tion under anew flag, we regret the
moment that gave birth to his idea of
returning to Georgia.
Suit fob. Libel. —Gov. Bullock filed
a suit against the Atlanta Constitution, i
for libel, on Wednesday the 11th ult., I
laying damages at $25,000.
We have discovered no signs of
right on the part of the Constitution,
-id the managers of that paper show
■illingness to be held fully respon
for anything published in its col
's.

Tho Herald specials from Bashing
tani last Friday say :
It is understood that tho Georgia
bill will not bo reported now until !
next Thursday, General B tiler hav- j
ing gene to ' assacliusetts to look af- j
tor some private affairs. There are
j manv members who announce thoir
intention to vote for tho Bingham
amendment or any other measure that
will result in ousting Governor Bul
lock. This, it is stated, is partly the
r suit of tbe recent investigation of tho
Senate Judiciary Committee and part
ly owing to the belief that condition of
affairs iu that State cuunot ho settled
: while Bullock remains Governor.
udge Bingham proposes to offer his
amendment when the bill comes up in
the House, though iu a somewhat
modified form. The chances are that
Butler will be again defeated, by hav
ing the Bingham amendment added
to the bill.
For tiic bawsun Johiii;il.
Messrs. Editoks : Permit me through
your columns, to put forth a riddle or
enigma, and a puzzle-fool, the first for
the benefit of the witty and wise, and
tho other for the comfort and edifica
tion of the sago and matron. If any
man. however, can solve the enigma
without experience or information oth
er than his own acute perception, then
we may have some confidence in his
solution of the puzzle-fool. The enig
ma is this:
“Two ladies with lovely babes in
their laps, and w r ho had much pleas
ure in hearing their cooing, kissod the
little innocents looked np, and saw
two men ; one said with animation to
the other, “Yonder comes our babes’
fathers, and our fathers, and our
babes grandfathers, and our lawful
husbands.” This can be solved and
made plain and easy.” The puzzle
fool is this :
How can a nation once constitution
ally a republic, but having fallen into
the hands of Radicals, and controlod
and ruled by them, for a decade or
more, ever again be restored to a
strictly constitutional Republic ?”
If any man can solve this puzzle
fool, he will confer a favor on the sub
scriber and many others, and shall re
ceive great honors, and perhaps be a
ruler in the government.
Acinsii.
Democratic Concert of Action.
One of the principal reasons, if not
the principal reason, that Radicalism
maintains its unbridled sway in this
country, is the apathy of the Demo
cratic people, and the discord in the
ranks of the Democratic party. There
is want of a leader—a popular man,
who is not afraid .o take responsibili
ties, and whoce influence and e’e
qucnce was sufficient to consolidate
tho strength of his party, and not frit
ter away its uaefuluem by useless dis
cussions and personal dissensions.
There must be such a man in the
ranks of the party. If there is, he
should be brought forward, and placed
in a position to render his influence
useful and practicable. The people
must be aroused —Radicalism must be
exposed in all its enormity, and Dem
ocratic principles must be kept con
stantly before the people, if wo waut
to rescue the country from the hands
of traitors and knave3.
It will not do to lie idle here, and
say that it is useless for us to nuko an
effo t, or to adopt Badical policy there,
because we cannot help ourselves, aud
must adapt ourselves to the new order
of things ; or to attempt the organi
zation of third paitie3, iu order togaiu
accessions from the moderate Repub
licans. Such policies as these only
serve to weaken tho cause of Right,
aud add to Radicalism’s lease .>f pow
er. V' e must arouse ourcelvcs.
North and South the Democracy must
unite uni put forth all the energy and
strength which they possess. They
must be united. There must be a
common platform Personal bicker
ings must be suspended, and we must
have a common unity as we have a
common cause.
\N e write imperatively, because it is
our belief that, unless something is
done, and that speedily, we will not
only not save the party, but will also
lose our liberties Let us all, there
fore, unite and go to work earnestly
for the common good. —Banner of the
South.
Important Derision in Bank
ruptcy*
An important decision was made
Wednesday by Judge Bryan of the U.
S District Court, at Charleston, while
sitting in Bankruptcy. Tho question
was whether a petitioner whose assets
would not r>ay fifty per cent, of his debts
could be discharged under the Bank
rupt Act, and the papers thus state
the argument and decision :
The 33d Section of the Bankrupt
Act of 1867, provided that in cases
commenced after one year from the
time the Act went into operation, no
discharge should be granted, unless
the assets of the debtor should pay
fifty per centum of the claims against
his estate, unless the assent in writing
of a majority in number and value of
the creditors who had proved should
bo had.
His Honor, Judge Bryan, has deci
ded that the Act of Congress, of 27th
July, 1868, has modified the assets
1 should pay fifty per centum, but that
I they should be equal to fifty per cen
j turn of the claims proved.
I This view was presented to the
. Court by Messrs. Simons & Simons,
I Messrs. Memminger, Jervey & Pinck-
I ney, as the truo reading of the statutes,
and Judge Bryan, nfter hearing the
argument decided that that construc
tion wae right and granted the dis
charge.
It will thus be perceived that many
debtors, who have been restrained
from applying for the benefit of the
bankrupt act since December 31, 1868,
upon the generally received opinion
that a discharge could not be had, un
less their assets should pay fifty per
centum of their debt; can enjoy its
advantages if their assets bo equal to
—f their debts.

Working. —The XVth Amendment
physic is working splendidly. For
example : A dispatch from Indianap
olis, dated May 3d, says : “At the city
elections in Madison, Columbus and
Peru, to-day, the Democratic tickets
were successful—all Democratic gains.”
Lxdiana Moving.— All the Demo
cratic papers in Indiana are full of
names of Republicans who come out
against their party on account of their
adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment.
Some of them are prominent and influ
ential men; and the number of hith
erto Republicans who openly declare
their purpose to vote against the Re
publican puny beems to bo upwards
of 3,000. 1

Railway.
Railway developments in tho South
still goes forward, says tho Brunswick
Appeal, “Onw.vhd !” is tho motto —the
necessity. There can be no backward
step taken—no stand still policy can
bo tolerated. Tho current is constant
ly swelling, its momentum increasing.
The following dispatch tells its own
story :
“Eufaula. Ala., May 9tli, 1870.
jEditor Seaport Appeal .'«<
“Contract closed to build entire line
of Vicksburg & Brunswick Railroad
through Alabama. Eufaula slnds
creating to Brunswick !
(Signed) “ELIS. SHORTER.”
Thus another important link in the j
grand enterprise of uniting Brunswick
and San Francisco—of uniting the At
lantic and Pacitiic Oceans through the
Southern portion of tho Union, by a
shorter line of railway—is about to be
supplied, with future promise to Bruns
wick of receiving and forwarding
freights between Asia Europe !
To (lon. Eli S. Shorter, ol'Eufaula,
Ala., is the credit almost entirely due
for tho success attained thus far, in
the construction of the link which
crosses Alabama. His labors have
been incessant—his energy untiring—
his services invaluable. Wo congrat
ulate him on the success which has
crowned his efforts —the honorable re
nown which awaits him. May he
live to witness the completion of the
work ; to participate in its benefits ;
and to enjoy the full fruition of his
most sanguine hopes in regard to it.
Brunswick most heartily returns
Eufaula’s greetisg.
llew lock Democracy. j
The sweeping triumph of tho Now
York Democracy conveys several use
ful and practical lessons. It shows,
first, the vital strength of the Demo
cratic party It shows, next, that the
victory in New York is wholly due to
the discipline and organization affect
! cd by the much abused Tammany Bo
| ciety. It teaches Us the wisdom of
i following that example of organiza
tion in this State. It encourages us
;to believe that tho unconquerable
j New Yok Democracy furnishes a
: nucleus upon which the great white
I men,s Democratic party of the whole
I country wiU rally to drive the mongrel
| Gotos and Vandals from the power of
I the Government at Washington. And
i it shows, finally, that the Radical cal-
I culation of carrying Northern and
Western States by precipitating the
XVth Amendment black voters upon
the ballot-box, is a dead failure, and
only add3 to the Democratic majorities
wherever the negro voler appears.
This is political refreshmant and glory
enough for one day. —Mobile Register.

Vestiges of Ancient Miners. —Two expe
ditions have left San Francisco for
New Mexico, attracted by reports in
creasing in number and authenticity,
that mountains of silver have been
discovered there. The Tucson Arizo
iu'., of April 9th, has a detailed ac
count of the mines and claims that it
is the richest treasure ever found on
the continent, and doubtless the most
wonderful conglomeration of riches
: ever witnessed by the eyes of man.
| Ruins of human habitation have been
; seen, and evidences of smelting furna
j ees of an obsolete pattern At one
j point there is a tunnel, the entrance
nartially concealed by loose stones.
The rock on either side of it is of a
solid character and fabulously rich.
About one hundred yards from this
shaft stands tho remains of an old
building of an exceedingly rude style
of architecture, with walls so massive
that nothing but the shock of a heavy'
j earthquake could destroy them. The
cedar timbers of the roof are still in a
i good state of preservation, and niig! t
! in their present situation remain so
i for centuries, removed as they are
from the ground aud exposed to no
other destroying influence than those
of wind and rain. An old >i exican
born upon the spot where he now
lives (near Jackson,) says he remem
bers when he was a boy, that the in
habitants went regularly to the moun
tains with their burros (a kind of cow
skin bag,) and would return in three
days with a quantity of half silvered
rock. At the mission of Ban Xavier
del Bae, nine miles from Tucson, re
cords are still extant showing that suit
was brought by the King of S, ain
against the owners of a mass of vir
gin silver weighing 2,700 pounds.
The pleadings affirm that it was a
public curiosity and theiefore should
of right belong to the crown. It is
alleged that this motul was taken from
tho mines now re-discovered, and
many Ban Franciscans thoroughly be
lieve all these stories, and, true or
false, numbers of them will start for
the locality as soon as they can pro
vide eompagnons de voyage.
