FRIDAY JANUARY 1C, 1874.
TO CORBBIPOBrDBHrll,
We cannot nolico anonymous commu
nications, no mnttor how rnoritoriotiq;
nor will manuscript written on both aides
receivo any attention. When it is do-
sired to return communications that aro
not used, stamps for that purpose must
be enclosed. Wo are always anxious to
get news, and such information ns is of
interest to the majority of onr readers
will always bo welcome.
Hon. Guy M. Bryan, of Galveston, is
the Rpoattor elect of tho now Houso of
Representatives of Texas.
The Constitutional Cor vent ion of Ohio
proposes to submit to n separate voto of
tho people the question of female suf
frage.
The Iowa House of Representatives was
“dead lockod” on the 18th inst. by a tie
vote for Kpoaker. Tho voto stood—Gonr,
Hep., HO; Dixon, nnti-Mouopoly, no, and
all tho mombers votod. After twenty-five
ballotings with this unvarying result, tho
House adjourned for the day.
Tirana aro mysterious outgivings that
tho accession of Herrano to tho 1’reHiden-
cy of Spain complicates the relations be
tween t hat country and tho United States,
and may make them critical again. Rut
no definite information on tho snbjoct
appears to bo current outside of official
circles.
Gail Robden, ono of tho oldost and
best known citizens of Texas, died at his
rosidenoo in Colorado connty, on Sunday
last, llo wont to Texas as early as 1828,
and was one of the founders and for Homo
time a proprietor and editor of tho Hous
ton Telegraph. Of lato years his atten
tion lmd beon turned to other entorprisos
for tho advancement of tho interests of
Texas, and ho was actively engaged in
proHocuting thorn at tho timo of his death.
Ouit dispatches report that Gov. Kel
logg, of Louisiana, has again sent out a
militia force to executo tho laws. It i«
probable that this force has beon sont to
maintain tho penoo on bayous Lafourche
and Teohe, whore, according to a dis
patch of the 13th, largo numbers of no-
gro field hands had quit work and were
visiting plantations forcing other negroes
to leave their employers. Tho cause of
this riotous conduct was tho refusal by
tbo planters to pay more than fifteen dol
lars per mouth for work this yoar. Last
year they generally paid twenty.
Ir u lute decision of the Supreme Court
of tho United States is correctly reported
in the newspaper noticos,.it may greatly
encourage tho holders of wlmt aro called
“bogus" State err railroad bonds. It was
on tho Marcy case, from Illinois, and the
Court is reported to have decided that
certain towns along tho lino of the Illinois
Grand Trunk Railroad are bound to
doom their bonds given in aid of the road,
though they woro irregularly or oven
fraudulently issued by their authorized
ftgoiils, when they are held by innocent
parties. This decision may be regarded
as preserving tho vitality of such bonds,
but it occurs to us that even the Supreme
Court of tho Uuitod States would bo'un
dertaking a big job to c/i force tho pay
ment of repudiated Stato bonds. Ry
what process could it make tho money for
the bondholders ?
I n 1*0 It'I'A A T NOTK'K.
Our increased expenses, in addition to
the increased facilities given to advertis
ers, would warrant us in adding to our ad
vertising ratos. This, wo have not done,
however; as wo wished to oiler ovory in
ducement to business men to give us
yearly curds at low ratos. So far, our ex
pectations hnve not been realized, and,
after this month, wo propose to make our
advertising rates as high as those of tho
other largo dailios in the State. Tho
Sunday Enquibbr is unexcelled in tho
South us an advertising medium, and
those having goods of nny kind to sell in
this city are losing the best chance to
preseut their invitations to tho public to
purchase. Tho best advertisers in Colum
bus nro tho best business men, and those
who feel tho hard times least. Wo look
for a largo number of now advertisements
for uoxt Sunday’s issue, and wo ask our
patrons to send them iu in time, that they
may got proper notices and good loca
tions.
TALLANSEIC factory.
Tho Directors of Tallassee Manufactur
ing Compauy hold a meeting in Montgom
ery to-dny. Wo learn that the indebted
ness of the company exceeds $800,000,
and their nssets roach the total of $900,-
000. We further learn that J. Rhodes
Rrowne, of Columbus, gives the opinion
that under proper management tho con-
corn will be able, if permitted to run, to
pay oil tho mortgaged debt, about $250,-
000, and yet be n safe investment for tho
alarmed stockholders. For tbo sako of tho
vory large number who have iuvosted
this stock, as well ns the continued pr<
pority of these important industries, and
the building up the material interest of
the country, we hope Mr. Browuo is en
tirely correct iu this opinion, and that the
factory may bo allowed, by a wisQ for
bearance, to go ou and fulfill its mission
of general good. To bring it and its func
tionaries into bankruptcy would give i\
blow to manufacturing iu the South, just
iu its swaddling clothes, from which it
would require ten years to recover. Un
der the control of such eminent, practical
men as Mr. Rrowne, we should hope for
much, and if in tho ond failure came, it
could be no worse, if near so ruinous, as
to throw this vast interest upon a money
market already burdened by the heavy in
terest ou sale, or waiting investment at
low ratos.
[Tho above information is communicat
ed by tho Opelika editor, j
—Ono of the largest rewards over of
fered in the United States is contemplated
in a bill which has passed the California
Legislature, authorizing the Governor to
pay fifteen thousand dollars for the cap
ture of a brigaud ua Vasqnez aud his
4’1'SH I LETTER TO RAVIN.
Of nil tho absurdities of onr latter-day
politics, the rofusal to confirm Mr. Cush
ing ns Chief Justice because of a letter
which ho once wrote to Jefferson Davis,
is tho Hiipremest. Mr. Cushing’s eminent
legal qualifications woro not questioned,
his personal and official integrity during
a long lifo of varied public servico was
unchallenged, his mental and physical
capacity for the work of the position was
not disputed. Rut ho had, in tho early
stage of the secession movement—when
nearly every ono regarded it ns vory prob
ably nn accomplished fact—-when Gen.
Hcotl, tho head of tho Federal arrnioR,
was urging tho Government to “let tho
erriug Bisters depart in peace”—when
such men of undoubted “loyalty" as
Secretary Seward and Horace Greeley
were undecided as to the policy of at
tempting to coeroe tho Southern Stales
back by war—when President Lincoln
himself was vacillating, and while every
body could sec that ho wanted to avoid
war, no ono knew that ho could or would
bo finally forced to resort to it—at Ruch <t
timo as this Cushing is accusod of writ
ing a letter to Davis, saying that ho re
garded the separation as an accomplished
fact, and recommending the appointment
of some man ns a clerk iu the Attorney
General's offico. On account of this lot-
tor alono—for it is not doniod that as
soon as hostilities commenced, and from
that time to tho.end of the strugglo, ho
was as “loyal" ns any man—Cushing must
bo dobarrod, in othor words forever dis
qualified, for holding a position for which
his capacities eminently fit him !
It is rather strange that Gen. Grant—
who could so easily forgivo tho sins of
Longstroot aud Mosby—yiolded to so
senseless a clamor ngainst Cushing. Tho
horo who, in tho face of ovory obstnclo
and disaster, so obstinately “ fought it
out on the line” to Richmond, has no forti
tude iu opposition to tho passions or tho
prejudices of the leaders of his party,
but makes and revokos nominations at
thoir dictation. Rotter would it havo
boon for his fame, and more consistent
his rocord as a man of will and firmnoss,
if he had stood by Cushing to tho “ bitter
end.”
To show how sadly disappointed tho
best mon of all parties must bo by tho
defeat of Mr. Cushing’s nomination, wo
copy what tho Philadelphia Inquirer, one
of tho most sousiblo, candid aud mag
nanimous Republican papors iu the coun
try, had to say of it in its issue of tho
10th inst.:
“ lho nomination of Mr. Cushing will
ho felt by tho country to bo so good an
one that tho President’s previous mistako
in connection with tho Chief Justiceship
will he forgotten. His correction of it is
so satisfactory that tho country can over
congratulate itsolf that ho mado it, for
his first choice might havo beon good
enough to have boon confirmed and yet
not half so good as his choice of Hon.
Caleb Cushing, who stands at tho very
bond of tho legal profession of tho new
world, nnil is correspondingly honored
for his personal integrity and judicial em
inence by tho old world.”
Tho Washington National Republican
(confidential journal of tho Administra
tion') seems to havo had an inkling of tho
charge to bo raked up against Cushing,
and to have regarded it ns unworthy of
serious consideration ; for, on tho 12th
inst., it said :
“Mr. Cushing, ns a Democrat, had
written for hud votod for tho union of tho
States and to prevent tho fratricidal war
which followed. During his whole life,
up to the firing upon Fort Sumtor, for
what ho had done iu that regard, wo do
not beliovo ho has over made or needed
an apology. Rut whou tho war com
menced, on tho first raising of the United
States fiag at his home, ho mado a
patriotic spooch, aud olYerod his ser
vices, in the forum or in tho field,
to his Stato nnd Government as loyally
as any man in tho Union. And when
circumstances of personal hate in an
official prevented his ripe experience from
aiding in the conduct of a portion of tho
forces of tho Unit ml States, while callow
fledglings from West Point woro appointed
generals in tho army, ho was elected by
an overwhelming majority of (ho patriotic
citizens of Newbnvyport, of all parties, to
represent them in the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts, and there stood foremost, by
voto and spooch, in advocating all tho
war measures proposed by the Governor
of thnt Stato and sanctioned by its Legis
lature—in fact,, through Mr. CuRhiug’s
iutluonce, thus burying privato resent
ment, if he hud nny, to tho call of patriot
ic duty.
“Soon afterwards, by a telegram from
President Lincoln, without solicitation,
he was called to take a civil office of tho
highest importance, and remained tho
confidential adviser of tho Government
from that day till now upon tho groat and
dilfioult problems of reconstruction.”

INFORMATION' WANTED.
Alderman L. G. Schuessler seems to
rost under a cloud, owing to tho very
much mixed up condition of his roportof
Market House affairs. He is Chairman
of tho Market Committee, and has suc
ceeded in getting things more muddled
than any man of his age and weight who
was ever called to a position of equal im
portance. lie is not directly to blame,
wo believe, nnd hence we sympathize w ith
him, ns wo do with ovory incipient states
man in distress. Nevertheless, it would
ho woll to explain, ns tho people aro abso
lutely hungering for the desired informa
tion.
REV. J. II. M*GIVEE.
Yonterday wo were called on by Mr.
McGhee, who comes to our city to take
the place of Mr. Christian ns Presiding
Elder of tho Columbus District. Mr.
McGhco lms moved liis family hero, and
wo welcome him to our city. His last
rosidonco was at Cutlibert, whore, iu ad
dition to his clerical duties, ho had charge
of tho femalo college at that point. Wo
wish Mr. McGhee welcome to his now
field of labor, aud trust his arduous duties
may bo compensated for by a hearty ap
proval of his services.
For tho Columbus Enquirer and Sun,
CROAKERN.
Thoro is a Latin maxim which runs
after this fashion, “Laudator temporia
acti/” aud wo may infer from it that as
early as tho age when tho Romans wrote
there woro men who praised the times
thnt had passed. It is ns natural for some
people to croak ovor the short-comings of
tho prosont as it is for them to prefer
sugar to salt with which to sweeten their
toddies. A chronic grumbler is not of rare
occurrence now ; nor bas he been in any
ago of society of which history gives an
account. Tho disposition of man requires
thnt he find fault with something, and
perhnps it is a docreo of Providence that
thus it Rhouhl be; otherwise our world
would bo too much like it was before
father Adam brought Bin and death upon
it. Feeling that croakers nre indispen
sable elements of society, it would be
foolish and vain to suggest a method far
their romoval.
This day is blessed (?) with a legion of
such characters, howovor, and tho union
of nil good nnd truo men to lift a few of
them out of the path of progress would
be like moving the clogs from the whools
of energy and onterpri.se.
That u few cronkors nro osential to the
digestivo apparatus of tho body politic is
evident in tho fact that tho world has
novor been without them. Rut Alas!
alas! how many nr5 there now who Rlinke
their sage heads nnd mourn over tho glo
ry of departed days, propounding with
tromoudous pathos a question which no
human boiug cau ever nnswor: “What is
tho world coming to ?” Such men find no
good in tho prosent. Everybody, every
thing is weighed in their scales, sot
over ngainst the happier days of bygone
years, and snd to tell, it is found wanting.
Tho ohlirchos, tho schools, tho boys, tho
girls, tho government, tho press, tho
country at largo and each individual, with
each employment or profession—all aro
placed in antithesis to tho samo of a de
cade or moro that is found ; and yo Gods,
what a change! Those good, earnest
proachors who prnyml all day and shouted
all night nro gone, and our preachors aro
cold and indifferent, puffed with loaruiug
and lean in religion. Thoy havo
changed , with tho times. And
look at our schools. The days of
birch and bluoibaek spoilers have van
ished ; our teaohors never whip, and our
schools aro tilled with now-fanglod Yankee
texts. And look at onr youth. Whon wo
wore boys, zee were boys. In this day
Young, America is above his sire, and
misses of sixtoon dross with tho a^r of
dames of forty. And tlio Government.
Oh! for tho dayR of Washington—for
such characters as Jefferson and Adams—
for such Congresses as blessed tho country
iu 1835 and 1810. And wlmt will become
of the Pross, in its unbridled lieenso ?
Twouty years ago common doconcy
would not havo permitted this article,
nor would common sonso havo allowed
that one. Our country! our country is
ou tho road to ruin. Lawyers in theso
days aro liars and rogues; merchants are
cheats; doctors aro swindlors, and ono
common anathema is fspplicable to ovory
branch of industry. Thus do some of tho
very renders of this arficlo croak, except
that they lay it on in much thicker coats.
Now, there is no doubt but that such
talk nnd such opinions are detrimental to
the progress of society.
Wo believe tho world is better to-day
than it ever has boon, and that tho vory
fact that times are different from what
they woro twenty and forty and sixty
years ago is evideuco that tho world is
progressing. Thero is no rotrogrado ac
tion in civilization. This is mans.destinv,
and as sure ns each sun iu its revolving
cycle marks tho course of a passing yoar,
just so sure is tho world nearer the goal
of it* destiny.
Lot the croakers keep silont. Old mon
of threo scoro whoso crowns are covered
with suow, judge not the world by your
feeble senso.
Ye dames of forty-livo ceaso your prat-
iugs, for this is the best world you ever
saw. And to tho young men of twenty-
one, lot thorn set forth a solemn warning,
for such are ever ready to grow eloquent
ou the shortcomings of “tho world.”
Hero is a truth which aptly fits the closo
of this articlo. To tho man of energy,
common sense and application, tho wind
is ever fair, tho world is prosperous, and
tho sun is ever shiniug. S. A. E.
