CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUST A. GA. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1869 SIGNS OF CHEATING. There was a great hurrah in Virginia when Walker was elected “ Governor.” Even the Democrats joined in the common jubilee, and, indeed, it would have been, under the circumstances, more or less than human to have preserved anything like apathy or stoicism, not to speak of gloom. But there is not much of a hurrah now. The Virginia journals begin to suspeet treachery. They are by no means sure that their humiliation will bring them all the good fruits they expected when they stoop ed to conquer. Grant was enthusiastical ly congratulated, even by Democrats, with the “ success of his policy.” He was thanked most kindly for permitting the people of Virginia to choose the lesser evil. But it begins to crop out that Grant has no policy other than aggrandizing his family and securing a comfortable time with the Radicals. It is even suspected that he would- have preferred the election of Wells. It is more than suspected that the composition of the Legislature is dis tasteful to him. Beside this, the people of Virginia are fearful lest the faith they kept with him will not by him be kept. They forgot that the new rule of morality per mits an official commitment to be as fran cible as official pie-crust, The true point of honor has io Usr «one to the dogs in Washington, and for Grant w „„ back on his plighted word as Presi dent is just as easy as Radical ethics can make of prevarication a fine art. Canby’s persistence in dictating the test oath as a necessary qualification of mem bership in the Legislature, is another seri ous drawback to the jubilation of what are called Conservative Republicans. The men who boss the,Government are deter mined to make sure of Virginia as a Radical State, and, with the case of Georgia before their eyes, propose resorting to an illegal, unfaii and dastardly imposition in order to compass their aim. If Grant does any thing at all in the matter, his interposition will be powerful only in the advancement of his brother-in-law, Dr. Sharpe, to the Senatorsliip. It seems beyond question that a serious attempt will be made to “ purge the Legislature by the test oath. Grant might prevent this ; but he will not move a peg to do so, if he imagines, or has reason to apprehend, that Congress will make him personally uneasy on the strength of it. Confronted, then, with a doubtful President, with a dictatorial satrap and a perfidious Congress, Virginia is reduced to a condition of perplexity whicli bears about the same relation to her late exulta tion that a drizzling November rain does to a sun burst. It is our sincere hope that Virginia \y ill not be cheated ; but we think the chances decidedly in favor of her enemies. These enemies cheat by instinct, or they are com pelled to cheat in order to retain tlicir grasp upon power. They do not under stand or appreciate the sacredness of oaths, bargains or commitments. They enter in to no agreement that they have not resolv ed to falsify, if the exigence should de mand it. Their repeated infamies are con stantly paraded before the Northern mass es ; but these masses, to a great and egree, have hitherto been stupidly indifferent to such dishonesty, and, in fancied security themselves, they arc indifferent to the ca lamities of outsiders, except in a purely (Sfeiflsh way. If Virginia - should gain all that she expected in Walker’s election, her gain may be great. If she should be come another instance of Executive and Congressional bad faith, we can only hope, as a cordial sympathizer, that her present discomfiture may result, some day, in dis aster to her betrayers. She lias done what she has done, under protest, to be valid only so long as the bayonet is at her throat. When the bayonet shall have been beat into the reaping-hook or into the scep tre, she may have occasion to make her verbal proto:-1 a deed of actual signifi cance. Meanwhile, if she can be cheated, she will be cheated. WELL DONE, MR. CHIEF JUSTICE. Whatever may be said of the political ec centricities of Chief Justice Chase, all men must concede that he is a man of ad mirable dignity, and that he knows how to assert himself with a most becoming and magisterial grace. The truth of this was sujHjrbly exemplified, a few days ago, when in full robes of office in the Supreme Court. It appears that Attorney General Hoar, corrupted by Ben Buti-er as well as in structed, has recently presumed so far as to treat the Judges of the Court with curt ness. and disrespect. The World tells the story of his insolence and the I’ebukc it elicited, thus : “In the progress of a speech by him the venerable Justice Nelson inquired: ‘ What is the page of authority you are quoting, Mr. Attorney General ?’ To which the man whom ex-General Grant gave a Cabi net. place in exchange fora library, replied: ‘ May it please the court, I decline to be interrupted in my argument.’ Whereup on the Chief. Justice, assuming upon his younger shoulders the affront directed at his associate and incidentally reflecting up on the whole bench, brought the Massa chusetts Attorney to his kness at once by saying: ‘ Mr. Attorney General, yon wiil cease in your argument for the present.— This court, as you will learn when you have become used to its amenities, reserves the right to question at any time any of its counsellers on any point whatever.— Your rejoinder to the question of my asso ciate is inadmissablc; and when you have apologized to the court for language which we must say was never heard here before, you may proceed, but not until that is done.’ Whereupon tins legal bully col lapsed and meekly begged pardon, which It pleased jthe court to allow. Booking at. Mr. Grant’s special pleader’s demeanor in the Yerger argument on Tuesday it is plain that the Chief Justice must give mm an other humiliation to bring him to his prop er plane.” It is a melancholy thing to know that a United States law officer should have the conspicuous and isolated notoriety that now attaches to this Massachusetts man, Hoar. But it is equally a subject of con gratulation, and it may be of future hope, that a Chief Justice still exists who has not been altogether abashed by the shadows of the"rising imperialism. The Turner Case.— On the opening of the United States Commissioner’s Court yesterday morning, his Honor W. C. Mor rill, announced that his labors of the pre ceding day had so completely exhausted him, and the testimony was so lengthy that he had found it quite impossible to give it that fair.and deliberate consideration which its importance demanded, and in order to enable him to do so, he .would adjourn the court until this morning at 10 o’clock. . JJfacon Telegraph, 23 d. New York in Atlanta.— The Atlanta Constitution says: On Marietta street there is a saloon at which five waiter girls pre side, dispensing intoxicating fluids to their guests. There is also a band of music in ■attendance, who assist to lieguile the in nocent. What are we coming to? Our New York Correspondence. New York, July 19th. The unsatisfactory returns which are often made upon property sent to this City to commission lit) uses, for sale, no doubt give rise to many complaints. The con signees are no doubt treated dishonestly, but they are oftener the victims of circum stances for which there appears to be no remedy. The markets of a great city like this are always extremely variable. They are subject to many influences—the weath er, the money market, temporary glnt or. deficiency of supply, speculative combina tions—all have their influence, and are in turn predominant. Thus, recently, power ful combinations to produce a decline in cotton and breadstuff's, with everything apparently working to that end, were de feated by an unexpected rise in gold. With perishable products, such as gar den “ truck ” and early fruits, the con signee has absolutely no safeguard, except through a coimection_ with a house in this city (who is to share the loss as well as profits), and the rigid determination to do a safe rather than a large business. The growers of peaches In Southern New Jer sey, Delaware and Maryland have been compelled to combine to proteet them selves. They are about to undertake measures which will facilitate the ship ment of peaches from tins to interior and more Northern towns, at stieh prices as will popularize tlie demand for them. The facilities for doing business and handling merchandize, in this city and suburbs, great as they are, are constantly unequal to the demands upon them. The cost is consequently exorbitant and tlie waste in many cases extravagant. Let any one unaccustomed to city scenes vistit the Washington market about four o’clock any of these mornings, when the fresh and perishable fruits are coming to market. It is confusion confounded at dead of Winter, but now it lias become a perfect Babel, from which the inexperienced would never conceive that any sort of result in ~«i« and distribution of property would ever be reacirew —‘'»*v»yvithal New York and its suburbs are fed, is annos® of effort. New York requires for her daily supply about nine hundred head of cattle, four thousand sheep and lambs, thirtv-flve hundred swine, seven thousand barrels flour, forty thousand bushels corn, twenty-five thousand bushels oats, and it were impossible' to estimate the quan tity of vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, game &c., consumed. The live stock have to be fattened and brought here by rail, and the vegetable products planted, ripened, gathered, packed and transported, and when we contemplate the labor which all these varied services require, we are amazed at them. With reference to the means which may be adopted to secure your village dealers against losses, 1 must recur t,6 a proverb which I once read : “ Don’t run after the girls,’,’ said a fond mother to her son; “ for if you- don’t they will run after yon.” Be not in haste to consign your property to New York houses, for if you do not, New York houses will buy it at your doors for cash. This lias become to be so well un derstood at the North, that all the leading derlers in butter, cheese, hay, hops, and other miscellaneous farm products, keep buyers constantly traveling through the country. Some years ago, our leading grain merchants were wont to ship flour and wheat to Liverpool on consignment. They were outrageously swindled, and many of them ruined. ’ They all, of one ac cord, said to John Bull: “If you want our wheat, come aud get it, anil pay for it. Large warehouses were built for stor ing, and for years there have been no im portant consignments, and the trade has assumed a sound and regular character. The action of the Democracy of Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the nominations which, they have made for Governors of tlieir respective States, will happ'rly.afford opportunity to test the sentiment upon two theories which have their advocates among us. Gen. Rosecrans was a “ War Demo crat,” so nearly a Republican that it were hard to tell the difference; but for liis quar rel with Gen. Grant, lie would undoubted ly be to-day in open affiliation with the Republican party. He is a superior gene ral in the best acceptation of the term.— His defeat at Chickamaugua was the only decided check which he suffered during his career. That was, of course, due princi pally to the most heroic fighting of the .Confederate army, hut secondarily to his vanity and egotism, not to say jealousy.— While Johnston was vainly endeavoring to relieve Pemberton, at Vicksburg, and Meade and Lee were niauceuvcring for the advan tage in Virginia, Rosecrans was vainly urged to make his expected movement in Tennessee. *He would not; but waited till Pemberton had surrendered, thus releasing Johnston’s forces, and until Meade, going into camp to refit and recruit, enabled Lee to spare Bragg some assistance; and when Rosecrans did set out for Chickamaugua, he barely escaped losing his army. My first memory of him is a letter written by him to the Ohio Legislature, in which “ Copperheads •’ were rated :ls creattires too vile for life. His course towards Mr. Vallandigham will be remembered. But he was “ loyal ” —lie has “ a good war re cord,” and is a good candidate to test the assumption that nominations of such men will promote the success of the party. I doubt it. But the Governor of Ohio is not so important an officer that we cannot af ford to try experiments with it. The nominee for Governor of Pennsylva nia is quite another character. Well ad vanced in years, of great wealth, which has been distributed with a liberal hand to various works of charity ; a most wise and worthy gentleman personally, ahvays a Democrat and popular with liis party, but without strength among his political oppo nents, his nomination is well calculated to test tlie policy of adhering strictly to the traditions of the party. I cannot see much promise of success in either case. We want neither renegade Re publicans nor Democrats by tradition. We want comparatively young men, who com prehend the situation as it uow exists, and are capable of applying old well established principles to circumstances which have arisen in the past few years, and which may arise in the few years to come. The next Democratic candidate for President should be little if any over forty years of age, and should be able to respond to the yearnings of the people respecting Federal and State finances. When shall we find the coming man ? Throughout the Metropolitan churches, the dullness incident to the season reigns, although there was yesterday an exception to the general rule, the occasion being the dedication of the first edifice ever erected for French Catholic worship in Brooklyn. The building was crowded,'and a peculiar interest was manifested, in consequence, perhaps, of the introduction of a novelty, which was nothing less than the bringing in of a military company to assist at the ceremonies, who, with fixed bayonets, and preceded by a band of music, inarched to the church, and, during th« services, which were of a prolonged character, stood, covered, before the altar, while the band assisted the choir in the gallery. The ap pearance of glittering bayonets and mili tary uniforms in church, as may be sup posed, caused no little astonishment, although, as we are told that the custom is a European one, it must not be gainsaid. An interesting work, issued by B. West erman & Cos., is a biography of Count Bismarck, written by Bamberger, a member of the Zoll Parliament, and who has ample facilities and ability for tlic accomplish ment of the task which he has undertaken. It is translated by Charles Lee Lewis. Another, entitled “Cord and Crease,” issued by Harper & Brothers, is by the author of “ The Dodge Ckib,” but is infe rior to the last mentioned book, and seems a very poor imitation of “ Foul Play,” being full of absurdities and improbabilities from beginning to end. “Tamon’s London Mer chants” is the title of a book which is very well written, and which affords entertain ing and instructive reading, especially adapted to boys. Among the biographies are those of Baron Rothschild and George Peabody. This work is also from Harper & Brothers, Is handsomely bound and printed, and ornamented with twenty-five illustrations. “ Put Yourself in His Place,” by Charles Reade, is continued in the Galaxy, and in connection with this there is published a characteristic letter from the author* in which he states that although he has been paid a liberal price for the work by the publishers of the Galaxy, yet admits their right to be only a moral one, and hopes “ all respectable publishers will respect that moral right, will put themselves in their place and will forbear to reap where they have not sown.” He would establish international copyright by moral influ ences until legally declared. A performance for tlie benefit of the Cu ban patriots is announced for to-morrow night at the Academy of Music, under the auspices of th 6 Cuban Junta, and quite a number of artists have offered their ser vices on the occasion, among which are Fanny Stockton and Mad. Lumley. The names of some Cuban lady amateurs, in general unknown to the public, also ap pear—Mile. Diana Baretta and Senorita Filomeno. Some of our artists are returning from Europe, E. E. Church, M. Gif ford having arrived last week. A flue painting, which is exhibited atTflt- Studio Building Gallery, and which has attracted much attention, both from critics and from the public in general, “Truth Unveiling Falsehood ” is the work of Mrs. Lilly Spencer, the mother of eight children, who has experienced the utmost vicissi tudes, and who has attained her present position through overwhelming obstacles. Willoughby. Official Correspondence. Asa matter of public interest, we pre sent a recent correspondence lietween Gov Bullock and Comptroller General Bell, together with the reply of State Treasurer Angier. GOVERNOR BULLOCK’S LETTER. Executive Department, ) Atlanta, Ga., July 17th, 1869. \ lion. M. Bdl , Comp. General: Sir —Your attention is invited to the following extract from a published state ment made in the interest of tile Hon. N. L. Angier, State Treasurer: “ We presume the Chief Justice does not wish to be understood to say that the Treasurer has no right Ho refuse to pay a warrant when there is no appropriation to cover said warrant, or when the warrant is drawn on an appropriation which has been exhausted, even though the warrant may lie approved by the Comptroller “ No class ot ha.y_e been refused by the Treasurer, saye those drawn upon an appropriation after the same had been exhausted, those drauui upon the wrong fund, and those drawn when no appropriation existed to cover them." 1 desire to be informed: Ist. If any warrant has been drawn by the Executive and approved by you “ on an appropriation which has been exhausted ?” As to those referred to “ drawn upon tlie wrong fund,” it is of course simply matter of opinion, wherein the Honorable Trea surer places his own in opposition to the official act of the Executive, approved by the Comptroller in accordance with the written opinion of tlie Attorney General. The objection of the Honorable Treasurer to the warrants “drawn on the wrong fund ” is not that said warrants do not rep resent a lawful claim against the State, but that in Jus opinion, what the Executive, tlie Attorney General, aud yourself, unite in deciding to lie the rigid fund, is tlie “wrong fund." Also, please inform me : 2d, If any war rant lias been drawn by the Executive and approved by you “ when there is no appro priation to cover said warrant ?" Very respectfully, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor. REPLY OF THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL. Comptroller General's Office, > • Atlanta, July 19,1809.$ To His Excellency Rufus 11. Bullock : Sir: I acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 17th inst., calling my attention to a certain statement “ made in the interest of tlie State Treasurer, and in reply have to say — Ist. That I have never knowingly ap proved a warrant drawn on any fund after it was exhausted, because I knew such ap proval would be in violation of the express provisions of paragraph 7, section 94 of the Code. I would state, however, in this coimection, that upon the hypothesis that the contingent fund appropriated by the Legislature of 1868, for the latter half of the year, was limited to SIO,OOO, said fund was over drawn by about fifty dollars, but the warrant was the last one drawn on that fund, and was in favor of the Treasu rer himself, to cover incidental expenses, such as postage, etc., which he had paid. This warrant was appro veijjwltliout that close scrutiny and calculation usually adopted, and I suppose the same thing oc curred with the Treasurer. But it may not be amiss here to state that, according to the opinion of the Attorney General, tlie fund was not limited to SIO,OOO, by reason of the latter, clause of the section appro priating it, and in this view of the subject, the appropriation was not overdrawn. By the same section of tlie appropriation act of 1868, $15,000 was appropriated as a printing fund, and it was declared in the latter part of said section, that “in case of a deficiency in this appropriation, the Governor is hereby authorized to draw his warrant on the Treasurer for the same, to lie paid out of any money iu the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.” I was satis fied that the clause just quoted rendered the appropriation indefinite and unlimited, and therelbre when the $15,000 was ex hausted, I did riot hesitate to approve war rants drawn on the same section. Besides, my own construction of the law was sus tained by that of the Attorney General, whose opinion I had taken tlie precaution to obtain before approving any warrant after the $15,000 had been exhausted. In deed, whenever I had any doubt as to what course I should pursue in approving war rants, I submitted the matter to that offi cer, he being, under the constitution, the legal adviser of the State House officers. 2d. I have never, to my knowledge, ap proved a warrant drawn by the Executive “ when there was no appropriation to cover said warrant.” I have approved many war rants where there was no special appropria tion to meet them, but., in all such eases I recognized the authority to do so under some general, clause of the Appropriation Apt, or under some provision of the Code of Georgia, and I considered it in such cases, as much my duty to approve the warrants as if they had been drawn <yi some special appropriation which had not been djfchausted. . In reference to the subject of warrants alleged to have been drawn on the “ wrong fund,”! beg leave to say in justification of the course I have pursued, that I have not at any time to my knowledge approved a warrant drawn upon a fund especially ap propriated and restricted to some other purpose. I have approved warrants drawn on the Printing Fund for advertising Exe cutive Orders, Proclamations, Ac., which I understand the Treasurer has refused to pay, because they were not drawn on the Contingent Fund. I have not been able to satisfy my mind that such warrants were drawn oil the wrong fund. Indeed, I have considered myself justified both by law and precedent, in the course I have pursued. Section 1043 of the Code declares, that “ all printing other than that performed by the Public Printer, which, necessity may demand, shall be printed at the seat of government, or such other place as may be necessary, in the discretion of the Governor, under his direction and super vision, upon reasonable rates, to be paid for out of the Contingent Fund.” I have not considered the advertisement of a Proc lamation as at all coming within the meaning or intention of this section, be cause the word “ printing” is used, and has to my mind a distinct technical meaning, different from the word “ advertising” or “ publishing.” It clearly means such job . work as it may lie necessary to have done, outside of that which the law requires the Public Printer to do, and not the publica tion of an Order or Proclamation. In the performance of the latter service, it is not the mere skill and labor of setting up the type aßd striking off the sheets that con «titute the gist and value oi the service. It is the space in the newspaper, and the cir : culation and publicity thereby given to the notice. The mere printing of the notice is not what was intended, nor what is charg- ed for in.such cases, but it is the publica tion and circulation of the notice among the people. The knowledge and informa tion thus promulgated and imparted to the public constitute the consideration for which the warrant in such cases is issued ; such a warrant, therefore, in my judgment, is not for that species of printing referred to in section 1043 of the JCode, and hence may properly be drawn on the Printing Fund. In other words, the law, in my judgment, does not restrict the payment of claims for advertising, &c., to the Con tingent Fuud, and in this view I am amply sustained by the practice of the Governors and tlie Comptroller Generals of the State for many years back. It was the practice of Governor Jenkins, as the warrant books in this office show, to draw warrants for publishing proclamafious, orders, &c., on the Printing Fund, and this section, 1043, of the Code was in as full force duringTiis administration as it is now. In all such cases, if the warrant was within the amount appropriated, I did not consider myself authorized or requireiLto go behind it, lie cause the law, in my judgment, casts no such responsibility upon me. It may not be improper in me to state, before closing, that I made a full statement to the Legislature of 1869, iu my report, of every warrant that I had approved u* to tAhe Ist of January last, giving the number, Tftitab *noount, the purnp.se for winch draw**the person in whose favor drajvn, and tlie fund or appropriation upon which each warrant drawn, and I expect to do so again w|en that body assemlj.es. And if, with this information before tlicm, they shall again adjourn, leaving the taw in reference to the' issuing and approving of Executive warrants as it now is Mid seems to have been for years past, I stall continue to do la the future as I have Ifcen doing heretofore. Very respectfully, Madison Bell, ' Comptroller Genera,. TREASURER ANGIEIt’S REPLY. j The communication of Comptroller gen eral Bell, in yesterday’s InteUigdnccr, re ply to Gov. Bullock’s letter of the 17W in stant, forces the Treasurer to a as follows : The Comptroller Genftral endeavor! to make it appear that tlie publicatioi of Executive Proclamations and orders ii wl printing. If the publication of Execi ve proclamations and orders is not print ig, why charge the warrant, drawn for seh services, on the Printing Fund ? If lis printing, then- section 1043 of the CotJiof Georgia, says : “ All printing, other tun that performed by the Public Printer, iito be paid for out of the Contingent Fund." The Treasurer is sustained in Ms ppi tion by the distinguished Judge who c4n piled that portion of the laws of Georla, in which is embraced tlie 1043d seepu above referred to. This Judge was famjar with the legislation which passed thisre tion, and voluntarily stated to the TVa surer and others, that the object of this Ac tion was to protect the Public Printer in tse of ang disagreement or difficulty between hn and the Governor. But for this provision of the Code, (ml the Treasurer’s refusal to phy, the Prinjng Fund would long ago have been exhauspd, and the public printing, including the j<ihr nals of both Houses, have been suspeuAd, or the Public Printer have gone uup|d, which is generally conceded to be the obfet of tiie Governor in liis efforts to exhast the Printing Fund. He is also sustained iu liis position jiy the able jurist who revised the predut Code of Georgia. He is further sustained in liis position by tlie following resolution, taken from a report adopted during (lie session of the last General Assembly : i “ Resolved, That it is the sense of (lie General Assembly of the State of Georgia, that the publication Gs every proclamation of pardon by his Excellency the Governor, in a large number of newspapers iu Geor gia, and tlie publication of every Executive order, appointing persons to such unjn porfant positions as County Inspectoriof Fertilizers, creating, as it does, very heavy drafts upon the Treasury, withoutialforditig commensurate benefit upon tlie people, should not be longer continued, and hat the drawing of warrants to cover such ex penses, upon any other than the Contingent Fund, is a violation,of the law that oughlnot to be tolerated." The Treasurer is sustained in his posi tion by the Comptroller General himsfelf, who, when in fear of being prosecuted for countersigning warrants illegally dratyn, admitted to a member of the “Joint Special Committee” charged with investigating payments from the Treasury, that lie kid protested to Gov. Bullock against warrants of this kind being drawn on the Printing Fund. The Comptroller General says: “In ref erence to the subject of warrants alleged to have been drawn on the ‘ wrong fund,’ I beg leave to say, in justification of the course I have pursued, that I have not at any time, to my knowledge, approved a warrant drawn upon a fund special ly-ap propriated and restricted. to..sonju purpose. In contradiction of this statement, the Treasurer would call the Comptroller Gen eral’s attention to warrants Nos. 141 and 142, drawn in favor of 8. Weil, Foreign Commissioner, and warrant No. 190, in favor of Geo. N. Lester, Domestic Commis sioner, which was charged to “ 23 d Section, General Appropriation Act, 1869,” when there was a limited special appropriation to which they should have been charged.— These warrants, thus drawn on the “wrong fund,” in violation of law, were presented to the Treasurer, countersigned by the Comp troller General. After the Treasurer re fused payment, the Comptroller General and one of the Secretaries of Executive De partment succeeded in influencing the Gov ernor to change these warrants to their specific appropriation, when payment was promptly made by the Treasurer. The Comptroller General refers to pre cedent as a rule of action; the Treasurer prefers the law. If precedents are to gov ern, the successor of the present Governor will have on unlimited field in which to op erate, especially in tlie manner of drawing and applying funds from the Fourth Na tional Bank of New York. Respectfully, N. L. Angier, Treasurer. Atlanta, Ga., July 21,1869. : • FUNK HAL. NOTICE.
