The Whisky Ring. 'l sens of Atlanta were pleated to pay; and ol a
.... ... . 117,000 fund which followed In the wake ol the
Cheered by ita auccesa with the Ar- j SB0UI whang-doodle in the far away moun-
thur administration, the whisky ring
ia preparing to move on Mr. Cleveland.
Little Phil Thompson is the accredited
agent of tbe ring at Washington, with
a salary of $5,000 a year, to exert every
influence to keep the ring from paying
taxes on whisky.
The recent appearance of Senator
Beck in Washington, and his concilia
tory talk about the administration, ex
cites the suspicion that he is there to
assist in this business.
The statement of the internal reve
nue collections for the month of May
show a decrease from those of the cor
responding month of last year. The
total decrease in the collections for the
year is $8,020,000, in round numbers.
August 1 the whisky speculators will
owe the government riling five million
dollars back taxes, besides what will
fall due on that day. They confessedly
will be less prepared to pay it then
than when Secretary McCulloch, in
February last, without the shadow of
authority, said they need not for the
period of seven months pay any
tax. It is their intention to move on
Secretary Manning for another usurpa
tion of the rights of the law making
power and an extension till some time
after the next meeting of Congress,
from which a legal extension or the
abolition of the tax and a remission of
the back tax will be applied for. As
the time approaches for Secretary
Manning to decide this the anxiety
deepens.
So far Secretary Manning has given
no sign os to what he intends to do,
bat he will neglect his duty and do
great injustice to the other interests of
the country it he shall decide in the
face of a law to the contrary, that the
taxes on whisky may not be paid.
If there is a monopoly more securely
protected than this whisky business
we are not aware of it The taxes due
on whisky are over five millions dol
lars and the deficit in internal reve
nue receipts are over eight millions.
Now turn the horizontal free traders
loose and where is tbe money to come
from to support the fixed expenses ot
the government?
And what becomes of that mnch
talked of surplus in the treasury ?

Mr. Sid M. Davis, a member of Far-
ragutPoetNo, 10, G. A. R., an ex-sol-
dicr and a Republican, has addressed a
circular letter to the officers and dele
gates of the NationainEcampment, G.
A. R., which meets at Portland, Me.,
to day. In this letter Mr. Davis sub
mits a proposition for the approval of
those to whom it is addressed, that the
United 8tates establish and main
tain homes for needy ex-Confeder-
ates whose wounds were received
at the hands of Federal troops. Mr.
Davis says: “I do this for the reason
that such approval, if given, will come
with added grace because of the posi
tion occupied by you during the war.
Yon can speak with a certain degree of
authority in behalf of yonr late oppo
nents, and close by tbia act the last
gulf existing between tbe sections in
the trne interest ot humanity, not alone
in the United States, hat the wide
world over.”
Ben Butler, wlun a member of the
forty-fifth Congress, in the course ot a
speech, took occasion to hint approv
ingly that wounded Confederate sold-
ier’s might in tbe future receive pen
sion*. This almost threw his party
into spasms.

how the suggestion ol Mr. Davis will
be received by his comrades and the
Republican press.

About the Jailer.
In pursuance of a recommendation
of the grand Jury, notice is given that
at the coming session of the legisla
ture, a bill will be introduced confer
ring the appointment ot Jailer upon the
board of county commissioners. Be
fore this is done It would be well for
our repregentatives and the people to
deliberately consider this proposition.
There may have been complaints as to
thc sheriff and Jailer, there maybe ob
jections to them, to the one or to the
other; ol this we cannot speak know
ingly. But is the remedy proposed the
proper one? Within the last few years
ail legislation has tended to a multipli
cation of offices, and a division of re
sponsibility.
The law makes the sheriff the jailer,
lie becomes responsible for the safe
keeping and care ot prisoners. He is
the officer who is supposed to come
directly in contact with those who are
incarcerated in the jail. In some cases
the duty of attending to the jail and its
inmates is confided to his deputy.
What good results are to bo expected
from a change of this law? A saving
in the dieting of prisoners is suggested.
Bnt the board of county commissioners
may properly adjust this matter with
out having the appointment and con
trol of the jailer. Tbe sheriff and jailer
are under the direct supervision of the
judge of the Superior Court,
who can punish either for
a neglect of duty, or for any
malfeasance in office. It is best for
every country to have settled and fixed
laws, and changes should not bhnade
except upon imperative necessity.
We have no interest in this matter
beyond that of every other citizen, bnt
having seen the bad effects of making
a jailer independent of a sheriff, we
would suggest that there should be no
haste.
Savannah has tried this experiment
to her Borrow and cost. Only recently,
and after a straggle tbat was long and
desperately contested, has her jail been
put in charge of the sheriff ol Chat
ham county.
A return to the old law has resulted
satisfactorily and has been indorsed
by the people by the re-election of the
sheriff in opposition to tho former
jailer.
Onr representatives may learn some
thing to their advantage by a consulta
tion with the delegation from Chatham
county.

The editor of tbe GrecnsboroHeraid
who was a member of the late Com
mercial Convention held in Atlanta,
says that there were $7,000 subscribed
in that city to pay the expenses ol the
said convention, and he does not under
stand why the members should be as-
■eased to pay a stenographer alter the
affair had ended and everybody gone
home. We quote:

Is Mr. Kimball more than hnndredsof other

The effort now being made by a syn
dicate of sharpers to cripple tho credit
of tho State of Georgia, or to blackmail
her, has gome peculiar featnrea about
it.
It is fortunate that Representative
Hammond, who is thoroughly ac
quainted with this bond business, is on
the ground, and that he is not only
competent to hold his own with oppos
ing counsel, but is in position to do the
State some service, and to expose tho
animns of this transaction.
To one remarkable feature In this
case tho New York Sun thns gives
editorial notice:
“Tho account ol a qnasl-jndicitl
hearing, at which Mr. Henry Clews on
Saturday denounced Georgia as a re
pudiating State, indicates that the im
portant question whether New York
savings banks shall bo permitted to in
vest in Georgia bond* U to be deter
mined by M. William A. Poste, one of
tbe depnty attorney-generals, instead
of by Attorney-General O’Brien him
self.
“It seem* to ns the matter is impor
tant enough to receive personal atten
tion of the chief law officerof the State.
'Mr. rostemay be an excellent depu-
, bnt many of the duties performed
by the deputies of the attorney-general
New York are ot very mnch the
same character as those of the manag
ing clerk ot a large law office in thla
city. It not nnfreqnently happens,
therefore, that a deputy-attorney gen
eral may be entirely competent to do
tbe ordinary routine work assigned to
him without being a great lawyer. We
know nothing of Mr, Poete'a ability,
which may indeed be exceptional
bnt even if it is above the averago we
think this question concerning the
Georgia bonds should be decided by
bis superior officer in person. The At
torney-General, elected by tbe people,
fa tbe properjwrson to pass upon a
matter which affects the people so
deeply—the lawful Investment of their
savings.
“If Mr. O’Brien is to determine the
question in fact, and not merely in
name, he himself should hear the ar
guments instead of hearing them by
proxy.
Georgia ia interested in thla matter
no lea* than New York. Respect for a
■later State, aa well aa regard for the
interests of his own State, wonid teem
to require the Attorney-General to at
tend to It personally.“
The information has been furnished
that the State qf Georgia is not a party
to this “qnasi-jadicial” proceeding. It
has been institnted by other psrtiea,
bnt the good name and credit of Geor
gia is to a certain extent involved. The
issue ia an interesting and important one
to the State of New York, befog in fact
an attempt to preclude guardians and
administrators from Investing in secu
rities that are perfectly sound and
■table.
Tbe Son to right in claiming that
the Attorney-General of New York him*
■elf should act in this matter, and the
fact that the Sun has deemed it impor
tant to give attention to ft editorially
to sufficient to arouse the suspicion that
tbs Assistant Attorney-General may not
be entirely impartial.
Awaltlna Reforme
Dr. Mnnhall bas labored long and
faithfully with the sinners of Atlanta,
and has secured evidences of disturbed
consciences from many whom the Tel-
egbapi! had almost despaired of awak
ening to a realization of tho error of
their ways. It is a great work. Great
in its inception, in its conduct, and in
its results. We trust its results will bo
permanent.
Prominent among those who have
taken a deep interest in Dr. MunbaU’s
meetings we are pleased to note Mr.
W. A. Hemphill, the business manager
of that enterprising journal tho At
lanta Constitution. Mr. Hemphill, in
the course of tho late jubilee meeting,
addressed the assembled people in an
earnest and touching manner, paying a
high tribute to honesty and
conscientious methods. We are
particularly glad to note tho
fact, for we see in Mr. Hemp
hill’s declarations that which leads
to believe he will at once take steps
to correct a grave and open fraud con
stantly practiced by the journal of
which he is manager and part proprie
tor. We refer to the Constitution's
practice of stealing and redatiug tele
grams that belong to other journals.
For instance, in order to support this
assertion, we refer Mr. Hemphill to the
issuo of the Constitution which
contains the record of his
own address. There will be
found an unaccredited telegram
relative to Mr. Beecher’s belief, dated
Baltimore, June 23d,” which has al
ready appeared in sundry Northern
journals dated "Baltimore, Juno 21st.”
Ifere is proof conclusive that the Con
stitution, of which Mr. Hemphill is
manager, has been guilty ot theft, in
tbe first place, and of practicing a frand
upon tbe public in the second. Unless
Mr. Hemphill, manager, is to be con
sidered anentiroiydiffcrent person from
Mr. Hemphill, private citizen, we feel
sure this evil will at once receive his
attention and be corrected,
The TELttGHAPit is entirely in earnest
In this matter. It has no sneer for
those who profess to have been bene
fited by Dr. Mnnhall. We look for an
improvement in our contemporary’s
methods or for Mr. Ilemphill’sresigna-
tion. Indeed we are free to say that
had Sir. Hemphill read the Telegraph
carefully, as should all good citizens,
ho would have been earlier informed ns
to the frauds being practiced
under his management, and
would long since have put an end to
them. He can give no better proof of
his earnestness now than by prefixing
to the telegrams which appear in tho
Constitution their proper dates and
credit, and by subscribing for theTkLE-
graph, in order to lcara when tho old
mothods are resorted to.
ipccolatlre Interest was at time* strong In tbe

September was a leading month. Yesterday
tho Liverpool report was stronger and Man

Tnx Florida Constitutional Convention
has already reached dangerous ground. A
spirited debate has been bad npon tbe fol
lowing proposed section; “That the Leg
islature may eon'er npon a board ot com
missioners the power to regulatesnch mat
ters pertaining to railroads and other cor
porations as may be deemed advisable,
and may confer both jndiclsl and adminis
trative power npon each board.” lithe
convention shall proceed to confer npon a
commission of thrie men judicial and ad
ministrative power over railroads and
other corporations, the boom In all of the
State's interest will receive a very severe
and sodden check. The constitntlon of
Georgia should be a warning to ail who
engage io the business of changing the
fundamental law of u State.
During the absence of Ur. Whttelaw
Reed the New York Trlbnna It being badly
handled. Recently it ssys; “It was held
settled by decisions of the people, in msny
put elections, that tbe rebellion was to be
held a orime against free government. It
was held settled that tha Individual par-
tlclpanta, and especially the chief Inatlga-
tore of the rebellion, while spared the pun
ishment legally due to their crime, ahonld
not be held worthy ot tractor honor on
acconnt of that crime. It waa held settled,
the contrary, that men of proved loyal
ty and of honorable service to the Union,
other things being equal, should be pre
ferred to those who had tried to destroy
the Union.” It was a part of the work of
the Republican party to appoint “erring
brother Key” to office; also, Longstreet
and Moseby, and to coddle Uahone. It
hu also taken by the hand every man
from the 8onth who hu deserted and be
trayed hit ptople and his kin.
An Unfortunate comparlaon,
Sir Charles Dllke, who once threat
ened to bccomo a protectionist, now re
cants, and recently addressed the Cob-
den Club as a free trader. In this ad
dress bo draws a comparison between
tills country and England, upon two
points only, noticing which tho Phila
delphia Press pertinently says;
Th* two prim, on which 8lr Charles ven
tnrea a comparison are exceedingly unfortu
nate for him. They are the snipping and
woolen trades. Ite bouts that England hat

‘‘About this time an incident occurred
illustrating his bitterness towards the
North. He was so ill that Dr. Bancroft
was Bent to prescribe for him.
•••Where are you from?’ he asked the
doctor.
“ -Massachusetts,’ waa thereply.
“ ‘I’d sooner die than permit yon to
touch me or have anything to do with me.
Is there no other doctor here?’
“'There’e Dr. Craven, ot New Jersey.'

‘ So Dr. Craven attended the arch rebel

"The monotonous tramp, tramp of the
sentinel, pacing np and down his cell, an
noyed Davit. He first glanced at him
angrily and then requested him to atop
walking. Tbe sentry bad orders not to
apeak to tbe prisoner, to he laid nothing,
bnt continued his measured tread. At
last Davis became exasperated, and, mill
ing upon ths soldier, attempted to wrest
the mpsket from him,
“This conduct was promptly reported
and soon an order came from Washington
directing that Davie be put in irons. The
order was executed at once. Blackamiths
came to the cell, and Instead of using the
common style ol claip thacklea, the old-
fashioned chain and broad bracelet were
brought and tbe smiths proceeded to fas
ten them on with rivets.
" 'By whose order is this ontrage per
petrated ?'asked Davis, trembling with
rage, bis gannt face livid with passion. ‘I
protest; I will not snbmitto this indignity,’
and Davis caught a hammer from one of
the men and would have smashed the
blacksmith’s skull If a soldier had not
caught his arm,
“Capt. Titlow, who had charge of the
Ironing, laid; ‘Mr. Davis, I am a soldier
acting nnder ordeia from my superior offi
cer, Yon. too, are a eo'dirr, and know as
well as I that tbe order will be carried ont,
whether yon Mjafit qalstjy or resist.’
" ’Does President J ohnson know of this V
grrnm-.l Mr. ll.ivi,. as hi-sat down upon
nts cot and permuted tbe smiths to rivet
the shackles. It was generally understood
tbat Secretary Dana was instrumental in
aecnrlng tbe issuance of the order.
"The restraint of tbe irons proved very
galling to Davis. His humiliation was
complete. Bnt a few weeks before he was
tbs head of ths Oonfedirata government
and commanderdn-chlef of all ths South

Thera are tome unwritten incidents in
the history of Jeflrrson Davis tbat I think
would interest the World readers,” said
Major John 8, Stevenson tbe other day,
Tbe Major was out In the 1st* war with the
Third Pennsylvania Artillery, which gar
risoned Fortress Monroe wh le tbe Presi
dent ot the Southern Confederacy was con
fined there.
There are many Incidents connected
with Daria’s imprisonment that I think
have never appeared tn print, and il yon
will take notes for awhile I will give them
to you,” continued the Major, and he re-
lilrd the following;
“About tbe middle ot May, 1865, ooneld-
arabla excitement was occasioned at the
fortress by th* receipt of erdere from the
War Department that the poet should pre
pare tbs casements for tbs reception of
prisoners of war. Ths order was promptly
carried out, and on May 19 the steamer
William P. Clyde steamed Into Hampton
Roada. havlog on board Jefferson Dari*
and Clement 0. Clay. 6he came to anchor
off th* Portress, ana I was one of tha first
officer* ol the garrison to rtall the dislln-
E ished prisoners. It was necessary to
ne very strict ordera for tbe govern
ment ot th* soldiers. Many ot them had
suffered tha horrocs of Southern prisons,
and the news of President Lincoln's as
sassination was fresh In their minds. The
name ol Davit arts closely asiccisted tn
Ibelr minds with all tha sufferings and pri
vations of the long campaign and the
crime* and ir.digniiira against tha govern
ment. Only tbe opportnntty was lacking
to lead to the killing ol the Confederate
ez-Presidont. Any one ol lb* mrn would
have shot him down at eight, even had be
known he would awing (or It the next mo-
“Daria was accompanied by bit wife and
children and Mrs. Clay was with bar hns-
o! chains mingled with the walls ol human
cattle. Whatever was the nature ot bis re
flections, the ex-Presldent sat for hoars
alter the blacksmiths lilt, his head bowed
npon hla bauds ami the tears trickling
through hla fingers.
“For five days and nights Davia wore
the Irani, bat tbe sargeon saw that he wvs
chatin< him.ell tu death. It would he

S tu eonseq-iei.r* id Northern treatment;
hence the shackles were remoecd.
“On the 5lh ol October, about five
moutbs alter his arrival at Fortress Mon
roe, Davit was removed to Carroll Hall,
when comfortable quarters were given him
and he was permitted to read books.
During hi. du.ee,iiillnunent, with no one
to convene with, he relieved the
tedium by studying the Bible, tbe only
book or reading matter save the prayer-
book allowed him, till h>- was probably the
best informed man on scriptural topics in
the whole Hmth. IIh admitted that his
