The Treexurer'* Statement
We wish we had toon to give the entire
statement of Mr. done*, Treasurer of the
Ktite. We feel aalinlh and that, in the hasty
mid incomplete investigation of the Fi
nance Committee, great injnstiee liua In on
done Mr Jones; hot Ilia long, faithful and
unturniuhed official record, together with
his bold and manly statement in ref, renoe
to the condition of hi* office, will at leant
stay the tide of public sentiment, (which
came aa unexpectedly to him a* it did to
the people), Until a fair and impartial and
unexcited investigation can tie had. No
limn dare to impugn the motives of that
pure man, nrtd if hy has erred iunweeutly,
(which hia strongest opponents only insist
upon), the harsh nml unkind language
used by the committee should have been
dispensed with until they were convinced
beyond all question that gross errors had
been committed. £lo fur as they progress
ed with the investigation, they doubtless
believed there were tu tors, but they knew
the investigation was incomplete that Mr.
Jones had not had a fair showing, being
in bad health for several weeks, and at the,
time scarcely able to get to his office. We
venture the assertion, that Mr. Joucs will
present ft clear record when a full, fair and
impartial investigation has been had.
Don't ho reckless nml uncharitable in the

He has proved too true to Undoubted now.
His character is too sacred to ho dealt

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL IN THE

Atj.vnta, Mui'fli 5, 1875.
There luiH been in Hum city no grave ap
prehension tlmt uuy tlbuiHtrpuß eolmequeu
<• would result frmu the passage of the
civil rights bill; but the past two or three
slays Imve demonstrated tlmt there ere u
very reHpeetiible immtier of negroes bent
nil mischief, a few of w!iom Uo|>e to real
fan money from prosecutions growing
out of the provisions of the civil rights
bill. l'u-day seems to have be. n the
time agreed upon by n few for U gen
eral nttodk upon bni-loom* nod bijliurd
rooms; ami with wlmtsuccess flic sequence
will prove, some lining repulsed olid oth
ers being received, if not with ccudialiiv.
with a grin-iind beiir-it fortitude which did
credit to the self-possession if not to the
pride of the parties imposed upon.
Hither early in the day two negro idlers
(wintered into thq billiard room of the
Kimball House—the handsomest. iu tie
city -and, after a tittle hesitation, mid a
spiehtion from the tmr-keeper if fliey wan
ted to play billiards, said they did. Tin
barkeeper, who until that moment was
•disposed to consider them ns loafers and
Imped to drive them out by covet and
ironical rebuke, discovered tlmt they were
iu earnest, and told them they could not
jdny there; that the billiard room was no
5 ni t of the hotel, was a private saloon, and
jiu hoped they would not come there
again. They slowly retired, but after a
nirt while approached the clerk, and
u-ked him if they might play a game of
billiards.
The clerk replied that he lmd nothing
to do with the billiard room, whereupon
they retired. During the morning two
negroes went up to. the bur of the Naiioutil
Hotel and expressed a desire to play bill
iards. Tile bar-keeper was surprised, and,
was disposed to treat the matter as a joke
but learning that they were serious told
them very emphatically that they could
not piny, after which.they left. This af
ternoon two dashing mulatto bar'u rs went
into the National billiard room undone of
them asked permission to play a game of
hilli&rda. The keeper told him to leave
flic room. He did not obey, wlie.ienpon
the keeper seined him liy the arm and
pushed him out, the negro saying mean
while: “Don’t you strike mo! don’t yon
(trike me!” They retired without any fui
tuoy disturlmuee.
IHV.y ASK ron A DRINK.
Tiro negroes 10-d.ty went pompously up
to tin* bar of tlm “Heading Hoorn,” nie
genteel saloon on limit ttu street, where
only Inter is sold, un>l asked for some beer,
Ttao proprietor, a very clever G.iinm, told
thorn he hint )o \e for limit. They showed
the money and asked him for liver, ami
were uguiu told that they could not obtain
it there, whereupon they left, npparuully
mad amt exefted, muttering threats. Two
negroes also went in to ono of the popular
saloons, and politely in a matter-of-course
manner naked for drinks and were sup
plied without any dispute or parley. The
proprietor said iio laid good reasons to
believe he would be prosecuted; that a
negro -bud already prosecuted a saloon
keeper, and had refused sdOOns a compro
mise, and ha could not allied to incur the
r sk of a prosecution.
There iiuvo been ho entertainments in
the places of public amusement since the
passage of the civil rights bill, but there
'*ili doiibtiess ho a disturbance at the. very
first appearance of a theatrical troupe. It
is reported that the authorities of tin
Central and Macon and Western roads
have issued instructions to their coiulno
tors to offer no resistance to any class of
persons in selecting teats, but this needs
to be cotiiirmed. Some of the negroes
who have to-day been taideavoriog to
create mischief were educated at the color
ed schools in this city by Yankee school
inarms, who have tie; .'lit social equality to
their colored pupils by both precept and
practice. They can be seen at times rilling
about tils streets in carriages with a dandy
negro at their side. Ho mote it be. Pa
tience and forbearance is the watchword!

1 IS BAPTISM ESSENTIAL TO SALVA
TIOKt
QtnriUN, March 10, 1873.
I Mr. Eoitok—ln order Cos a correct mi*
I dcmtuiiding of the tgu-ipiur a in reference
| to the essentiality of baptism to salvation,
i I ti g leave through the medium of yom
I paper, which, 1 believe you assort to be
independent, t > propound question',
not to provoke controversy, but with the
hope that one or more theologians thriv
| give to mo and the public the benefit of
; their iourning. We are told hy orthodox
ministers, that I apiism is not essential to
[ salvation ; nud, without investigation, T
had accepted it us correct and was content.
Having heard quite a number say that
they would not ntterid the ministry of the
llev. Mr. Harris, of the Christian Church,
hocunse he held that baptism was essen
tial, so i di'tcnniu and to attend his ministry,
at Quitman, find hear for myself. And,
aftei giving him a patient hearing, the
| quest ions which I propose to propound
i present themselves to my mind, and if his
, views are not correct and in strict accord
j mice with Bible teaching, I hope someone
i qualified will give us the true meaning of
the texts which 1 use in the formation of
jmy questions. 1 do not, ns I am not ri
, theologian, propose to make an argument,
! lint simply to state that I am not so firm
jin my former opinions, or, rather, the ex
pressed opinions of others, which I had
l accepted; and I licg to be permi ted to
state, (hat with my understanding of Ids
j explanation of the texts of sciiptures pre
sented hero ns tlio predicate of my Inter
rogatories, my mind is very much inclined
to the belief in the absolute essetitiulify of
’ bapt's >.
Question Ist. Are we citizens o' tbe
| commonwealth of Israel, or nvo wo aliens
ad strangers? If citizens already, we
j need no help. All will admit, that by na
! turn wn are strangers and aliens to the
j kingdom of Gis’, All will admit, that He
! has the right and the power to prescribe
the terms of citizenship, anil it is not tin
j reasonable to enquire if lie has not speci
fied the conditions precedent to citizen*
, ship in His kingdom? If He has, what are
the conditions? Mr. Harris says, faith,
j repentance and baptism. All touchers say,
I without faith and repentance, wo cannot
ibo saved; many teach that baptism is nn
j ordinance that ought to be observed, but it
is not essential to salvation. All, J think,
j admit that Christ won’t rave us without
, faith and repentance, but I wi.-h to eu
i . , *
q ire, tf fait!) and repentance is sufficient,
| why was baptism commanded as the eou
j diti n pn cedent to the remission of sins?
.Toll.-, did baptise it, the Wilderness, and
preached the baptism of repentance for
I the remission of khih. Luke 111, 8.
l’eter, preaching on the day of Ponte-
I cost, said, “Repent, tuid ho baptised,
j every one of you, itt the name of Jesus
j Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
i Wo think it no wrong to enquire if, in
j tliia instance, it is not a reasonable infer
ence, if not a literal fact, that repentance
.uts a condition precedent to baptism®
| qualifications, and baptism tlio condition
j precedent to tlio remission of kins, and the
i reception of tlio Holy Oliost? Ii this is
wrong, we hope someone will inform ns.
Acts 11, 41: “Then they tlmt gladly ro
j crived His word were baptised, and the
same day there were added unto them
about tl)fee thousand souls.” Were tnerc
j any added to Hint number tlmt were not
I baptised? If to, baptism was not an es
j sential prerequisite; but if not, then it
j must have been essential, c id if essential,
j then why not essential now? Am the
| Christian requirements less now than on
, the day of Pentecost? Has the command
boon revoked, and the penitent absolved
from obedience? Was repentance and bap
tism required then? If so, by whut au
thority, and when were these or either of
these require me tits removed? If faith Is
essential to salvation, and repentance is
essential, by what authority is it taught, or
: of wliat is the hi lief predicated tlmt bap
tism is not essential to salvation, when it
i is specifically (’OllllllllllllOll and set forth in
the general proposition ns the condition
precedent to the remission of sins? Tf it
is not now essential, the remission of sins
! in pot necessarily essential to salvation,
! and repentance is folly, and the exercise
of faith is a mere courtesy.
Are not the terms whioh Christ proposes
j for the salvation of all men an entirety
that is to be accepted as a whole? If so,
the acceptance must be an entirely. Isn’t
faith, repentance and baptism the propo
sition in its entirety? Then, must tint the
whole number of conditions be complied
with lo make the prourse binding upon
the party offering the consideration? Is
it safe for a party to say J will accept and
| perforin two of the conditions, but will
not accept and perform the other, because
it is folly anti mm-esscntial? If iiy faith a
man’s nature is changed, and by repen
tance bis life mid conduct las changed,
alt of which, so far as it goes, is very sat
isfactory in the establishment of a cove
nant relation, lint if he refuses to do that
, which changes his relation, to-wit: by ab
solving himself from all other allegiances,
1 hy the perfo: malice of the act which estnb
; lishes him as a citizen iu the kingdom of
Christ, the covenant is incomplete. Why
Ho requires it, or why it is necessary, is
jno for us to discuss, and upon that 1
i ask for no information. The question is,
: does He require it? If it is not ueccss.ity,
why did Peter say, “Repent and he bnp
i tised, every one of you, for the remis
sion of sins?" If faith and repentance
j was sufficient, why did not Peter say,
i have faith and repeubuiee for the remission
of sins? Isn’t it a reasonable inference
that Peter knew that no man would re
pent that did not believe; therefore, tbe
two conditions, viz.: repentance and bap
' tism was all that was necessary to preach.
John, preaching iu the Wilderness the
baptism'll! repentance for the remission of
j sius. Isn’t it a logical construction of the
, sentence, that to till peuitents baptism was
'an essentiality to the remission of sius? i
do not wish any one who will give mo his
views upon this subject to state that the
water does cr does not regenerate the man,
lint whether or not there is virtue in obe
di- ticu to the command, by which act
(simple though to ns it may seem to he)
the Covenant relation between God and
mail is completed; and for which obedi
ence, snd in which covenant God has
promised the rend sion of sins. For illns
tinti< U, take the ease of Naainnn, who
went iu Search of the prophet Elisha, to
he hi tried of his leprosy, when lie w s
commanded by the prophet to go and
wac-h seven tiim s in Jordan, nml he should
be clean. Naarmtn thought the condition
precedent to the restoration of health was
too sitnpie, and became wroth; bet, when
persuaded by his servant, ho went and
lipped himself irriil the sixth time, nml
still he was a leper, with unsound and un
healed dealt—uo evidence of a ry improve
ment, Ami, why? Ibcanse the condition
was not fully c implied with. Rat, when
he dipped the seventh time, he hud per
formed the condition, obeyed the com
mand, and the great miracle nf his restora
tion was wrought hy the power of Omnipo
tence. And, now, when he says lie bap
tised, that your sins may be remitted,
shall we say it. is too MUipb - it is not es
sential? If, in obedience to a command,
(iml can give to an old leper Slie flesh o r a
j child, >s it unreasonable to assert Unit lie
will, when he ptoinit.es, temtl n in. o’ss’ns
fur a siiiiil ir iiel of obedience? ?s it no
reasonable to ass ’ri that he will not do it,
if tbe conditions ih.ti Pc l'.’s specified ne
not performed? If nay one rboidd an
swer Uiis, and say ae' N!can't be'V.c aid
can’t repent, but they me ssvt 1 bv bap
tism, I would feel inclined !o '<q>!y t'eti
Christ died for the “original mus of our
race, and the child has not commit 1 ! 1 u:iv,
it has none to repent id. Mil hteii'- ’i is
only essentia! for the remissui'i of < -u‘. A
child incapable of fni.h nod '(M.-ai.'iien,
must needs surely lie in capable of sin.
If the sins of the “federal head” is blot
ted out by the death, of (.'hr l, aid
(lie child incapable of sinoiug, it has no
need of baptism for the remission*of
sins. lint, it is said the thief on the cross
Vns pardoned without baptism. Admit
it lo be title, bet was not that upon the
principle that, habtism, asa conditio'i, could
not lie performed. Perhaps, the very
obedience necessary, was ill hiaheiyt; but,
under the peculiar circumstance!!, he could
not perform the act, and (foil being just,
requires no iuipos. i bill ties of hi* crea
tines.
Tllfc FRENCH PRINCE IMPERIAL.
The London Times of February 17, has
the following:
“Yesterday's field day rind distribution
of prizes t" the Woolwich cadets brought
the citreer of tly young Prince Louis Na
poleon at the Royal Military Academy to
a close in a manner extremely honorable
io his imperial highness, and must gratify
ing to all who have watched his progress
during the last two years. The first class
of gentlemen cadets who have been under
going the severe examination for commis
sions in the royal engineers and royal
artillery were thirty-time in number, and
among theno 1 Corporal his high mss the
Prim. Imperial" pu sed seventh in order
of merit, and would, had fie ehi.--.en to
tune it, have hud the option of a commis
sion in the royal engineers or royal
artillery -a freedom of choice rcs-ryeil for
cadets in the first, flight of the thirty or
forty who may pass lire examination.
Whether as Prince or as mere gentleman
cadet, his highness has really done won
derfully well, when We ivitiemhor that he
was handicapped at starting by a lack of
the preparation necessary for the Wool
wich course of study, ami by an imperfect
acquaintance with the language in which
he was to li • taught. He was also eleven
mouths younger than the average age ol
the e. immissiou class. Nevertheless, his
imperial highness cairns out seventh in the
general list, mid we are informed -that, iu
mathematics he passed sixth, and seventh
in fortification and iu artillery. His phy
sical powers seem to have also develop, and
to a point above the average, for in gym
nasties he ranks fifth, nml in horseman
ship first. In this last accomplishment,
indeed, he Imd tlio advantage of early
training On the Monday night after the
usual bull the Prince lmd to undergo the
ordeal of “chairing,” with which the
eadets take farewell of the most popular
members of the commission class.”
The report of the governor of the acad
emy ended as follows:
“Before concluding this report I must
draw especial attention to the fact tlmt his
imperial highness the Prince Imperial,
who, at the request of his august father,
the late Emperor Napoleon, was admitted
to follow the course of instruction pursued
iu the li ’j'ul Military Academy, now ap
pears among the commission cl ss,
“As your royal highness is aware, the
Prince Imperial was not. subjected to tlio
same competitive examination for admis
sion as other gentlemen who join the
Royal Military AAideluy.
“ Before his admission, however, I
caused him to he examined, in order to
ascertain whether be was sufficiently ad
vanced in his studies and in Ins knowledge
of the English language to enable him to
follow the courses studied iu the academy.
"As the result of that examination I had
some doubts whether, considering his
youth, 1 is imperfect knowledge of the
English language, and the übseuc -of all
special preparation for the academy, it
would uut have been advisable to defer
his admission for a few months. He how
ever, joined the Royal Military academy
on November 18, 1872, and has since pur
sued his studies without intermission, ex
cept for a short per*l, when, in conse
quence of tbe death of his father, he was
unable to be present at the periodical ex
amination in February, 1873. He then
joined the present commission class, with
which he hits been associated througont
his subsequent career at the academy. Ou
first entering the academy the prince was
under great disadvantage from not being
thoroughly conversant with the language
in widen instruction is conveyed, lint with a
higher order of intelligence and unremit
ting labor, lues enabled him to improve his
position in almost every succeeding exami
nation, and he now, us a final result, stands
seventh in a class ot thirty-four—a position
which, if lie were to enter her Majesty's
army, would enable him to elect service
iu tiie.artillery or engineers.
1 hate furtuer to report to your Royal
Highness tlmt the Prince Imperial, hy liis
invariable punctuality and exactitude in
the performance of liis duties, by Lis per
feet respect for authority and submission
to discipline, basset an example whioh
deserves honorable mention even among
his comrades of the commission class,
whom 1 have been able to commend to
yo ir Royal Highness in unusually high
terms for their sense of duty and excel
lence of conduct. ”

What Has the Grari e Dose?
From a speech published in one of our
exchanges, we make thu following extract:
“It has caused business to he conducted
on a tnote economic*! basis, and oouse :
queutly ln’.s cheapened all goods bought
for cash. It has brought the producer
and consumer nearer together. It has in
augurated ia public sentiment a revolu
tion in favor of a cash system. It will
take years to complete it. but that revolu
tion Inis commenced and millions have al
ready been saved to llie people. It has
inspired the whole agricultural world with
a spirit of economy. It has already be
gun to elevate farming as u profession, and
lies drawn farmers nearer ouch other, so
cially and for business purposes. It has
given impetus to intelligent farming ev
erywhere. It has sown seeds that will ri
ven into a rich harvest of prosperity for
the farmers, and consequent y Tor all class
es. It has inaugurated a reformation that
will not cease until virtue and honesty
once more hear away where ignorance nud
corruption hold high carnival. It has put
three millions of farmers to thinkiug. Are
not these achievements enough for soshort
a time ?”
If the Beecher Tilton scandal does not
improve the morality of the people it adds
several remarkable phrases to literature,
such ns “stepping down nud out," “hang
ing on the ragged edge,” and “nest, hid
ing." And here comes a Miss’Anderson,
of Virginia, who sues Oapt. Blnckburne
for breach of promise, stating also tlmt
she has cntrustis! him w ith several thou
sand dollars of her money, and has been
to him “a wife in every sense the word
implies.” .
The most industrious boy is the one who
has been promised a licking.

For the Young Ladies. —Young ladies
cut this out and pin it in your bonnets:
No young lady ought to feel herself quali
fied to become a wife until she is sure she
understands how to do the most that can
be done with her husband’s money. The
management of a household is not- a tiring
to be properly and safely entrusted to
I hireling hands. A servant is a broken
reed for the bead of the family to lean
• on. There are a thousand little ways
| i which leal enterprise and shrewdness
are required in order to use it to the best
1 advantage, and there are a thousand other
ways of saving money, opeu only to those
; who have studied aright the orfc of
! economy.
The Turkish proverb has it that “a
prudent woman is a mine of jewels,” and,
i like many other Oriental sayings, it is
; beautiful for the truth it embodied. A
wasteful housekeeper not only netnadly
| robs those for whom she undertakes to
I manage of tho comforts it is her duty to
’ provide for them, but keeps her husband
head over ears in debt, and makes the do
mestic life of ft poor man n continuous
series of experiments in shunning it from
! one day to the next; iu keeping tho
* stomach full, though the purse be empty.
