THE DAILY TIMES. laAKWKNT t’IKCVI^TIOX la she Oawatlea A<l|t*ceal 4* 4***d Tr»*U « at '< oliimhw*. Columbus. Georgia. WKDNKBDAY APRIL 1. IH-S. I - 1 l" 1 ! 1 11 TO TUB PATKONM UP THK DAILY TMKM. 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 the accounts of the dally edition. uknkral übant m»i- uka» 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 1 imes. A Brooklyn clergyman says that liquors may soon be sold in ska ting rinks and then ‘’the result will be disastrous.” Wo should says so. It is hard enougn for a sober man to stand up.

Treasurer. State. Principal and Surety. Bonds. Forfeitures (Be fore Judge Hammood.) Blandford, J.—Where a declaration allege J that the »:ate treasurer, who 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 visions; 17 N.

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. io.) The joint resolution ot 1871 was was <1 legislative declaration as to the law concerning the taking ot inter est by the treasurer, which the courts 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 only that which the statute pre scribes.
