With this issue the existence of the
Daily Times will cease for the pres
ent. From this date the dally le pub
pended. The period o( its suspen
sion is a matter of the future. It io
suspended now because its publica
tion is not profitable, and the pro
prietors have neither money noi
health to give for its subsistence.
They have given too much of both
in the recent past for their good, and
have chosen this day to stop it. Dur
ing the period through which Vs life
has depended on them they have en
deavored to dotheir duty faithfully,
as they understood it to their pat
rons and to the city. They do not
feel that they have been selfish in
their work beyond the degree that
will justify honorable men in promot
ing their honorable interests In an
honorable avocation of life, and if
they have failed in performing their
full duty the failure must be attribu
ted to circumstances that they could
not control. While the failure to
make money is the cause of this sub
pension they have no complaints 10
make. On the contrary they take
pleasure in saying that the patronu
and friends of the Daily Timbs have
extended to it favors, outside of
business, that will be remembered
with gratitude and for reciprocation
ever.
The advance payments of subscrip
tions to the Daily Times will be re
funded, and those in arrears will b -
oalled on immediately and urged to
make payments, that we mnv dose

We announced yesterday morning
that General Grunt was dead. Such
was the correct report on the streets,
and regarding it as very probable
in Itself, and not supposing that sen
sation mongers were so greedy for an
item as to fabricate so serious a hoax,
we did not hesitate to repeat the
rumor as a fact. Whether the con
dition of General Grant is better or
not, we are glad to correct the error
spread abroad by us yesterday by
stating that the rumor was not true.
General Grant was not then d ad.
II W. Gbady writes tha Oonstltu
tion that the president and cabinet
will probably be in Atlanta at the
commerci d convention on the 21st
of Muy. The time appointed Is the
most delightful season of the yi ar in
Georgia, and the oapitol of the state
will be seen in her greatest glory.
Thb trouble between England and
Bussia looked more favorable for a
peaceful solution yesterday than it
has for some time back. The specu
lating world are watching the “can
non talk” of those two great powers
with a keenness that leaves no point
untouched. For the sake of all con
cerned we sincerely trust that the
shadows may pw off and leave the
soul of the world at rest.
Guobgia is getting a fine show of
important foreign offices. General
A. 11. Lawton, ofßavannan, is minis
ter to Russia; General H. R. Jack
son. of the same city, minister to
Mexico, with Colonel Evan P. How
ell, of Atlanta, as consul general at
Manchester. England, will do pretty
well for a start. Yet Georgia might
furnish good men to fill a score or
two of other important places.
About a dozen tailors employed bv
Menis. Anderton & 00., in At I mtn
quit the shop because a man w,a em
ployed who had been a convict. The
men refused to w rk with him. This
looks right, and it is “high-toned,”
as Gulteau would say; but there is a
hard side to the question. If this
man, having committed a crime, and
expiated his guilt by standing the
punishment the law put upon him,
ought not that to be enough? Should
be be followed always bv the lash
ings and stings of his fellows? If
not always, when shall his persecu
tions stop? Wnen he walked from
his convict camp with his oenifloate
of freedom in the pocket of tils citi
zens clothing, should be be met by
soourgings and driven back 'o associ
ations and habits that first led him
into guilt and hishonor? If he can
not get work with decent men be
must starve or become a criminal
again to secure his bread and meat;
or will virtuous working men volun
teer to tax themselves to maintain
him in idle isolation? These are
questions we asu. and leave the in
. swer to others. Verily the ways of
the transgressors are hard.
Or the Bartholdi statue, Bradstreet
says; “The endeavor to make the
subserfpton to the Bartholdi pedes
-1 tai fund a national matter has thus
1 far failed,la spite of repeated appeals
I tb the people by the oom mi: tee in
’ charge. They nave n< w issued a last
appeal to the people of the state and
aty of New York to subscribe the
amount necessary to finish the pe
destal. It appears from the circular
of the committee that of the $lB2 000
Already subscribed more than 90 per
item has been contributed oy the
people of New York and its immedi
ate vicinity, and to them the com
mittee feel constrained to look for
the funds needed to secure the com
pletion of the work. It is to be hoped
that the people of the metropolis
will not continue backward io re
sponding to this appeal. The statue
is expected to arrive in May nex’.and
there is danger that the pedestal will
not then be ready to receive it. ’lf
the money is not now forthcoming,’
say the committee, "the statue must
return to its donors, to the everlast
ing disgrace of the American people,
oritmnstgotosouieothercitv, to the
everlasting dishonor of New York.’
Either alternative is one which
concerns the dignity and honor ol
the metropolis to prevent. It is to be
hoped tnat the public spirited citi>
sens of the state and city will supply
the needed funds, and thus honor
themselves and save the credit of the
republic.”
• Hi: KKVKRXK MII»K OP TMK CHI
NEWB WAR.
The French have been suffering
quio- as many misfortunes In Ohna as
the English in the Soudan, and their
foreign policy appears to be equally
mismanaged. In addition to fever,
cholera, dysentery, etc., they have to
flgnt In a country so unfamiliar and
so treacherous that they would prob
ably prefer to exchange placet with
the troops of Graham, at bUikiro.
Here is an account of the march on
Bac-Niob, as given by an eye-witness,
M Paul Bourde:
“A soapy soil, as treacherous and
slippery as the worst kind of sleet,
covers the narrow foot pat s. Impos
sible to preserve one’s balance; ana
yet if me does not preserve It, one
must fall into the rice fields awaiting
him on either hand, with their
deceptive quagmires Six thous
and coolies are birea to drag
the cannon along, >ud to carry
the baggage. Ol id only with a slug •
lagovir ttieir shoulders, they have
passed aII night in rhe mud, under a
tine rain that stints the face. One
feels cbflh-d through merely at
the sight of their yellow limbs thus
exposed to the biting air of these cold
mornings. Poor human beasts of
burden!—shivering with misery,—
their faces brutalized by suffering,
their limbs numbered with cold.—
you see them once more harness
themselves to the wsgonsbafts and
to tbecables of the field pieces. The
French artillerymen Join them, and
the work of moving ttio guns recom
mences. Often the pathway is lean
'han sixty c< u imetres wide—the
neoeesaty breadth for the support of
the two wheelt of the gun carriages;
—then soldiers and coolies
descend together into the rice
fields, and wade through the
water, trying 10 support one wheel
while the gun Is pushed along upon
the other. Fur: net on the pathway
ends In a bole; the gnus
disappear, or ate half swallowed up;
rquadrous of coolies rush in to re
future us; and when we got out of
these terubie passi s. soldiers, coolies
and cannons are all unrecognizable;
the uniforms are colorless and the
guns look like shapeless logs that
have long been rolled in rivers of
mud. We advance along these name
less routes under a drizzle t hat stings
the skin like sleet, am under a gray
fog.”
Buch is the region n which the
tight, must be fought—{not now under
“an icy rain," but under a terrible
sun)—a country of swamps snd rice
fields. wheio every ditch is an en
trenenment, and every embankment
an ambuscade. Meantime th>-Chinese
show determination to keep np the
struggle; and one hundred and
twenty-five Germans are engaged
by them in various military
capacities. They were chosen at Ber
lin by the envoy Ll-Fong Pao; and
each man hid to assume a Chinese
unme before entering the Chinese
army or navy. One German officer
is thus named Lin Pao, or “Six Can
nons,” another, who formerly com
manded a corvette, but lias betn
made a Chinese admiral, b are the
title of Wang-Li Triang, ci “The
Great Wall.” The German engineers
receive S3OO a month, and the artil
lerymen S2OO a month; while the pay
of the other foreigners is very high.
All have signed a contract with the
Chinesegovurnment to the effect that
in case of their deatn, an indemnity
of $6,000 will be paid to their families.
These foreigners will certainly be
able to teach the Chinese a good deal
—Gordon already taught the world
what might be effected by disciplin
ing Chinese troops.—New Orleans

Blandford, J.—Where a declaration

became bo and gave bond in 1877, bad
himself received and allowed others
to receive money from certain banka
for the use of funds of the state de
posited by him, apparently without
the approval of the gjvi-rnor, and
without any contract having been
made by the governor, and treasurer
with th« bank for the use of such
funds, this did not set out a case
which gave a right of recovery on b
half of the state against the treasur
er and the sureties on his official
bon 1 for money » > made. Money so
made or received did not come into
the hands of the treasurer by virtue
of his office. o>>de, §97 and subci

(*.) If the facta stated be true,
they would constitute a use of funds
of the state by the treasurer and
others by his permission, tor which
he incurred a penalty under par, 11
of sec. 97 ot the code, which was to
be collected in the manner pointed
out in sec. 97 (b).
(b l Money received by an officer
by virtue of his office is money which
that officer receives under the law ol
hisoflis, and notin violation thereof.

was <1 legislative declaration as to the
law concerning the taking ot inter

will regard, unless it has been subse
quently modified or repealed. This
was done by the act ot 1876, Acts
1876. p. 126.
2, Section 97 par. 11 of the code
prohibits the treasurer from using
the funds of the st<te or allowing
others to do so; and for every viola
tion of this section, the Measurer is
liable to the state in the sum of five
hundred dollars, as a penalty, or a
forfeiture of his salary; but there is
no provision that the sureties on hit
official bond are to b-> made liable for
this penalty.
(a) Forfeitures are not favored,and
courts incline against them. When
a statute may be conatmed so as to
give a penalty, and also so i>B to
withhold the penalty, it will be given
the latter construction; and where a
statute creates a new offense and
provides a penalty, or gives a new
right and declares the remedy, the
punishment or the remedy can be
