The Garrard Bond*.
At last the Garrard bonds are on sale.
Mr. Kenfroe, the treasurer, informs ns
that he has orders that will cover the
whole issue of the bonds. This is cer
tainly a triumph for the state of Georgia
tliat cannot be overestimated. There are
three corporations on the continent of
America that are floating 4 per cent
Itomlit, and they are the United States
government, the city of Boston and the
state of Georgia.
It is gratifying to note, too, that the
bonds are being received universally, as
far na heard from, os currency. There
can t>e no question of the constitutionality
of this issue of bonds, and they will prove
a great convenience to the general public.
They enlarge our currency without in-
fluting it. The lionds are bonds in the
•everest sense of the word, and if there
anything illegal in them the illegality
consists, as Mr. Garrard has aptly said,
“in the smallness of the type and the six
of the paper.” We hojw, therefore,
see them freely used thronghont the stab*
to facilitate barter and trade. In any
event, however, the experiment of four
per cents has proved a success, and Geor
gia’s credit goes up to th6 very highest
jioint. And it drives in the wedge that
will just split our enormous interest ac
count square half in two!
Tlie KRlennlon of Ihe Northeastern
The Athens Banner nrges the taking of
steps toward* the extension of the pros-
)>erous Northeastern railroad to the Ten
nessee line. It is well known thnt j«r-
ties are reaily to build the hark between
Marysville and the state line as soon
they are assured that the missing Geor
gia lock will be uilt. In fact, the road
from Rabun gap northward is nearly all
graded, and no great expenditure
needed te prepare it for the ties and iron.
The Northeastern company has forty
miles to build in order to reach Rabun
gap. Its forty miles of completed road
earning handsome pioftts, and tlie Ban
ner therefore thinks that there need be
no longer delay in carrying the road
and through the gap. As the completed
portion is only mortgaged for one-half of
its marketable value, it believes that fifty
thousand dollars of second mortgage
1 Minds could be placed at i»ar, the buyers
to have a right to take in lien thereof first
mortgage ltonds on tlie first completed
ten miles of the extension, which will
says the Banner, “in all probability lie
dorsed by the state.” This plan is to be
repeated until the extension is completed,
The Banner believes that the business
men of Athens could afford to take and
would take the pnqtosed bonds at par.
We hope it is not over sanguine. Tlie
new road would place Athens nearer
than Atlanta to Knoxville, lmt neverthe
less Atlanta, as m arly all the rest of the
state, would lie benefited by the pro
posed extension. We cannot have too
many railroads, especially to tlie coal
bed
town or country, city or hamlet, are
sponsible, primarily ami Justly, for every
lawless act of violence that ia committed
tlie state. That responsibility cannot
be shifted to other shoulders. The intel
ligence of a community ia squarely respon
sible for all acta that grow out of a public
sentiment formed by it. The blood of the
innocent is on the hands of the men who
have created an unsound public senti
ment, or—which ia equally aa criminal—
permitted such a sentiment to spring np.
Plain words are these, bat is it not high
time for plain words?
There is, in the long run, a natural
remedy for every wrong that exists, and
this case a cure might be effected if we
could afford to await it. The remedy
would come through the sufferings of
those chiefly to blame. For the intelli
gence of a community owns, as a rale,
its property. It tiierefore not only takes
the personal risks that its acta of omis
sion or commission involve, but it suffers
heavily in a strictly material sense. Its
property becomes unsaleable and finally
valueless; its trade is diminished, and
ruin creeps in as the final and fitting pen
alty. Georgia is chiefly made np to-day
of uncultivated lands. None of he? lands
are worth to-day in open market wliat
they should be; much of them are almost
without value. Immigration and only
immigration can change this. Will im
migrants come to a state in which life is
cheaply esteemed, and tlie bully holds
local sway? They would be fools if they
did—and we do not want fools. Tlie
very public sentiment that property own
ers have at least permitted to grow up in
the state is to-day the real reason why
immigration is not tnrned in a great
swelling beneficial tide to us, and it will
continue to be an effectual bar to pros
perity within the state until it is changed.
We may need better laws or better judges
or better offl^rn, but our needs in tlicae
respects are dwarfed bv the imperative
need of a healthy public sentiment
human life and its safeguard—law.
The Xfw Npauinb Cabinet.
Martinez Campos is to-day the fore
most man in Spain. As a soldier-poli
tician no one of his countrymen has
reeled him in real power or fame, unless
it was Espartero during his short-lived
dictatorship. And yet Caxupos is the
youngest of Spain’s field marshals, hav
ing been born as late as 183*2. But his
popularity and strength are not to be
wondered at It was he who first pro
claimed Alfonso—tliat carried over to the
exiled prince the whole array of eastern
Spain, and made the restoration possible.
It was he that won over the Cariist lead
ers, and secured the pacification of Na
varre and the Basque provinces. It was
he who 44 by arts and devices” conquered
the Cuban patriots, thus preserving
Spain her most '-nlliable colony. He did
not whip the revolutionists, because be
could not; but when he found tliat be
could not he proceeded* to buy out the
Cubans with bribes, either of money
needed reforms. He secured peace, and
lie has ever since, as captain-general,
deavoted to carry out the large reforms
that lie promised Cubans. Tlie obstacles
thrown in his way by the treacherous
home politicians led to his departure
Spain something over a month ago, and the
king, who is his friend, decided that the
reforms in colonial administrations which
he asked for should be carried ant This
led to the downfall of the Gastello minis
try, and to the formation of a ministry by
the all-conquering Campos himself. He
is claimed by all parties in Spain, and it
is not known what course he will pnrsue
extxqit as to tlie colonies. But the pro
gressive enlightened policy that he nrges
for the colonic's will naturally be comple
mented by a like policy in home affairs.
It is plain that Spain, as well as Cuba,
lias reason to rejoice that so callable and
energetic a man has been entrusted with
the chief official responsibility. He is
also very popular, a fact tliat will doubt
less insure him, for some time to come at
least, the necessary strength in the stormy
cortes to cam* out any measure of reform
tliat he may propose.
W here the Responsibility KeaK
Tlie time has fully come for a thorough
and unflinching examination of the
causes that lead to the bloody personal
encounters that are a disgrace to the state.
Such encounters are traceable to a first
cause; and that first cause is not defective
legislation, nor the carrying of concealed
weapons, but an unsound public senti
ment relative to the sac redness of human
life and the value of law. This is. as we
well know, a grave charge—one that in
volves order, security and our welfare as
individual;* and as a eommunit ; but this
is the hour for the plain truth. If public
sentiment on these subjects is to be
changed, it is first necessary to know
where we stand; and then all thoughtful
men will know how to act. Laws are use
less and courts a farce, if unsupported by
public sentiment. Public sentiment ren
ders the former inoperative, and the lat-
r. Billy 4 handler Write** a Letter.
Mr. Billy Chandler lias again come to
the front as a letter-writer, contributing
to a late number of tho New York Tri
bone a patriotic little essay upon the po
litical situation. It cannot be called a fin
ished production, but its style is feeble
enough and its conclusions ridiculous
enough to tickle the literary palate of the
most fastidious republicans. In other
words, Mr. Billy Chandler is mad, and
when a man of his calibre loses his tem
per tho chances are that he becomes
comical. He is mad because the demo
crats attached riders to the appropriation
bills repealing certain partisan legislation
enacted liy the republicans for the pur
pose of adding the strength of fraud and
intimidation to tlieirorganization. In his
feeliie way, Mr. Billy Chandler agrees
with Conkling that this ndetliod
of repealing obnoxious legislation
revolutionary, but both of
these worthies seem inclined to forget the
history of at least a portion of the law
which tlie people, through the democratic
party, are endeavoring to rid themselves.
Mr. Billy Chandler should not mistake
reformation for revolution; neither
should Mr. Conkling. But at tlie same
time they must understand that such
mistakes are embarrassing only to those
who make them. If it is revolutionary
for the democrats to nqieal bad laws by
means of the appropriation bills, how
much more revolutionary was it for the
republicans to adopt the same method of
enacting partisan legislation? Mr. Billy
Chandler and his party friends should
not grow impatient over these little mat
ters of political adjustment. Time goes
l»y turns, and they must learn anew the
simple significance of the old saying
that what is sauce for tho goose
sauce for tlie gander. If the demo
crats, now that they have come into
power, choose to take advantage of the
methods made possible—if not popular—
by republican art and artifice, it cer
tainly does not lie in the mouth of Mr.
Billy Chandler to make complaint; cer
tainly, Mr. Roscoe Conkling has little
room to prate of revolution.
Mr. Billy Chandler, who is not nato
rally a sanguine man, predicts that Mr.
Hayes will not only veto any bills repeal
ing the test oath clanse, tlie nse of the
army at the polls, and the appointment
of supervisors of elections, but will veto
any appropriation bill tliat contains riders
looking to the repeal of these obnoxious
enactments. It may strike the average
reader as passing strange that Mr. Billy
Chandler, who has heretofore devoted
small literary talents to the compo
sition of letters abusive of Mr. Hayes
and throwing suspicion upon the
validity of his title, should
be in ecstasies over the probability that
the acting president is about to array
himself with the most robust wing of the
stalwarts. Upon what evidence Mr. Billy
Chandler bases his prediction, we have
means of knowing, but this much is cer
tain: Mr. Hayes will make the greatest
mistake of his life should he presume
set up his veto against the will of
majority of the American people as
pressed through their representatives.
Should he veto the bills of repeal, then
tlie repeal riders will be attached to the
appropriation bills, and Mr. Hayes most
take the responsibility of blocking the
wheels of government for the sake
perpetuating legislation so purely parti
san in its conception and results as
disgust even honest republicans. Per
haps he is prepared to face the conse
quences; certainly the democrats are.
Meanwhile, if Mr. Billy Chandler will
possess himself in patience, he will behold
the pleasing result.
Woodville, Georgia, for property taken
for the use of the army after the close of
war. Mr. Gordon submitted some
amendments to establish post-routes.
On the proposition to let the president
appoint the supervisors of election in case
senate is not in session, all the Geor-
raerobere voted “no,” except Messrs.
Felton and Stephens, who did not vote
and were not paired. Mr. Hill endeavored
insert the name of Edward Power in
the bill making an appropriation for the
payment of southern claims, but the sen
ate refused its consent by a vote of 14 to
20, and Mr. Hill withdrew the amend
ment before the yeas and nava were or-
lered.
Mr. Hill presented on the 27th ult. the
]>etitian of Mayor Wheaton and many
other citizens of Savannah, praying for an
appropriation to improve the inland route
to Jacksonville. Mr. Conover, from the
committee on poet-offices and i«ost-roads,
reported without amendment the bill for
the relief of John R. Nichols, late post
master at Alliens. The house permitted
Mr. Stephens to present the reports of the
committee on coinage out of order, and to
permit members to present such remarks
as they may deem proper on the reports
in the Record.
Both of the Georgia senators voted for
the pension arrears bill. In the honse
Messrs. Bell and Cook voted to pass the
Chinese bill over the president’s veto;
Messrs. Candler and Harris voted “no;”
Messrs. Blount, Felton, Smith and Ste
phens di*l not vote and were not paired.
When tlie item to pay the state of
Georgia $72£B6 was reached by the senate
in considering tlie sundry civil bill,
long discussion arose. Mr. Cameron, of
Wisconsin, moved to strike it out, in
which effort he was seconded by Messrs.
Edmunds and Chandler, but General
Gordon succeeded in having the item re
tained by a vote of 23 to 37. A tabular
statement of the claim is printed in the
Record. The claim in 1812 amounted to
$120,000, upon which $94,000 was paid
during tliat year. The men who voted
against tlie claim were republicans; but
Messrs. Blaine, Cameron, of Pennsyl
vania, Conover, Dorsey, Hamlin, Ingalls,
Patterson and Plumb, all republicans
voted with the majority. The sundry
civil bill, as adopted by the two houses,
contains all the Georgia items embraced
in tlie bill as it was reported to the house.
The river and harbor bill, as it became
law, contains the following Georgia items
Ravannah harbor 100.000

Tlie clceing number of the Record tor
the late *e**um came to hand yesterday,
and we therefore proceed to make up the
last chapter of Geoigia business before
the fortv-flth congreaa. It begins with
the 22d ult. On that day the honse
tiered 20,000 copies of the memorial
dresses on Julian Hartridge to be printed.
A vote was taken on the senate proposi
tion to retain the tax on matches.
Messrs. Bell, Blount, Candler, Cook, Har
ris and Smith voted in favor of concur,
ri it in the senate amendment: Mr. Fel
ton voted “no,” and Mr.Stephensdidnot
vote.
On the following Monday Mr. Hooker
endeavored to have the rales suspended
to prevent the introduction of a hill for
the erection of a number of public build
ings, including one at Augusta at a cost
$100,000. The motion was lost. Mr.
Stephens voted “ay;” Mr. Bell did
vote, and the rest of the Georgia members
voted “no." The sundry civil bill
presented, having an item of $10,000 for
the fencing, grading and approaches of
the Atlanta court-house, an item of $120,-
000 for furniture for the public hoildings,
that at Atlanta being expressly named,
and an item of $72^69.14 in foil settle

On the 3d inst. the bill to grant a pen
sion to General James Shields was passed
in the honse. Messrs. Bell, Cook, Har
ris and Smith voted for it, Mr. Candler
voted against it, and Messrs.
Blonnf, Felton and Stephens did not vote.
The first two were paired. Mr. Candler,
chairman of the special committee on the
charges against the speaker, submitted
report that brought out the radical lead
ers, but they made nothing out of Mr.
Candler, upon whom the duty devolved
of securing the adoption of the report
the honse. The public health bill was
supported by all the Georgia members
except Mr. Cook.

passed in the senate by a two-thirds vote

although hundreds were presented. Cap

came a law, onr memory isatfanlt after

AII the cireumiitoiui* of this foul murder were
