\Ve cannot notice anonymous commu
nications, no matter liow meritorious;
nor will manuscript written on both Bidet*
receive any attention. "When it is de-
eireii to return communications that are
not used, Htainps for that purpose must
be enclosed. Wo are always anxious to
get nows, aud such information as is of
interest to the majority of our roaders
will always be welcome.
An effort will be made to induco the
Florida Legislature to send Colonel F. II.
Itniford to Washington in the interests of
tho Florida ship canal.
The amount of greenbacks in the Fed
eral Treasury is said to be %ety low at
this time, and the reserve fund nearly ex
hausted. Hut there is a larger amouut of
gold ou hand. •
The Legislature of Maryland, on Tues
day, elected William Finckney White
(Governor of tho State) United States
Senator, to succeed Mr. Hamilton, whoso
term will expiro on the 4th of March,
187. r >. Gov. White is a Democrat.
One of the “jobs" boforo Congress is
the payment of “tho losses sustained by
tho Rottlers of Lost ltivor Valley during
tho Modoc war.” If tho apparently
truthful reports of the proceedings by
which these settlers forced the Indians
into hostilities can bo substantiated, it
would bo more just to make them pay tho
expenses of the war.
Accounts from the North concur in tho
statomont that very little ice has yet boon
saved, and that tho price must bo high
next summer, unless tho closo of winter
furnishes a bettor season for obtaining it
than has yet been experienced. We hope
that our city and its immediate neighbor
hood will bo relieved by its ice factory
Iron* any great inconvenience on this
Hcoro.
•The Montgomery Stale Journal of
Thursday reports the affairs of Tallassoo
Factory still in a muddle. Mr. Josiah
Morris had indicated that lie would not
accept tho trusteeship, and this refusal
might defeat tho plan of adjustment. A
party who went up to Tallusseo on Wed
nesday had not returned that night, and
their report might have an iulluonco ou
further action.
New Orleans papers of Monday and
Tuesday report a cessation of tho negro
disturbances in Terrebonne parish. La.
The officers had warrants for the arrost of
a number of tho ringleaders, but it was
thought doubtful whether they would use
any energy in the prosecution of the
cases.
F 8. A number of tho Terrebonne
rioters were carried to New Orleans ou
Tuesday, ami after preliminary iuvostigu"
tion before U. 8. Commissioner Weller,
they were bound over to appoar before
tho U. 8. Circuit Court and answer tho
charge of unlawful banding together to
deprive oiti/euB of their constitutional
right to rouble ami curry on their occupa
tions pouooably. Those rioters arc ne
groes.
The contest in the 1 louse of Represen
tatives from West Virginia turns upon
tho question whether the election in Au
gust or the one in October, 1872, was tho
legal one. Representatives to Congress
were elected at. both, and tho Governor,
with unul accommodation, gave condi
tional cirtiftcatos to botji sotH. If tho
August olootion is decided to bo the legM
one, a Republican and Independent Dem
ocrat will bo seated ; if tho October elec
tion is hehl to be valid, two Democrats
will get iu. A majority of the Elections
Committee have reported in favor of the
October election ; and tho Washington
National Republican suggests that it is
time to abatidou tho party rule which
prevailed the day of Thad. Stevens’ as
cendancy, which it states thus: Sorno
years ago in a contested election case bo
foro tho House, a friend of one of the
contestants spoke to Mr. Thaddous Ste
vens on tho Hubjoot. “Oh, don’t argue
the thing,” said Mr. Stevous. “What is
our fellow's uume ? let us vote for him.'
A Washington reporter of tho Now
York Jit raid, giving Republican reason
ing in favor of tho nomination of Senator
Coukling ns Chief Justice, says: “It in
foaroil that tho Supremo Court cannot bo
relied upon iu matters which havo a po
litical bearing. Clifford is, of course,
known to be a Democrat iu his politics.
Field and Davis are classed with tenden
cies strongly of that nature. Miller is
not entirely relied on : aud thus four out
of tho present eight judges are politically
dubious. If a Chief Justice should bo
added who could not be entirely depeudod
upon, the Court might, ill Home test ques
tion, declare unconstitutional laws of a
particular nature which have boon enacted
by the strength of the party, ami thus
vitally injure its future prospects." •
Thin reporter then believed that the
nomination had been tendered to Conk-
ling, and would be continued without
reference. Of Judge Waite, it said, he
was considered “weak on his political
record.
Ollt LIBRARY.
Mr. Editor : Our Library is getting
all out of shape, aud from indications
will soon die out. Is it not a sad com
ment upon a community like ours, that
we cannot keep alive such an institution?
Are we all liviug for onr individual selves -
Cannot each man in the town contribute
a mite towards fostering a library, that
we admit to bo moralizing and instructing
to the youth of our town? I am ono of
the first members of tho Library Associa
tion I have never had but ono book
from its shelves. Yet I pay my duos
promptly. I feel it a duty to do so. Tho
good I do others amply compensates for
the fifty cents per month. I have been
told of several gentlemen who could not
afford tho exponso, who, I know, spend
double the monthly duos each day in
some bur room or cigar store.
U ia to be hoped that our citirenB will
HOt allow thia Library to Lr«ak up with-
out making some strong effort to keep it
ulive. It lias been suggested that the la- !
dies bo requested to take bold and put
the institution on good grounds. By a
series of festivals and fairs, amateur ex
hibitions, iVc., under the management of
our good mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts, I think an ample fund could be
created to enable the association to pur
chase now books, pay current expenses
and create a sinking fund for future
wants. Wont some of our matrons and
maids come to the front and shame tho
would-be better halves? Bumhy.
“LET tfii HAVE PEACE.”
The pcoplo of tho whole country re
ember these words of Gen. Grant when
he entered upon his first Presidential
term. Wo of tho South fondly hoped
that, they presaged a change in tho policy
of aibitrary government of tho “re
constructed” States. Subsequent evonts
brought us bitter disappointment, for
never iu our history were moro despotic
acts perpetrated than tho Federal Execu
tive intorfureneo iu tho election contests
of Louisiana and Arkansas, or tho Attor
ney General’s forced “compromise” in
tho Alabama dispute. As some of tho
moro generous and manly Republican
politicians and presses protested against
theso acts, the reasonable and prevalent
presumption was tliut tho President had
gone ahead of tho sentiment of his party
in his resort to this interference. But
tho truth appears to havo been, thero
wore two divisions of tho Republican
party, and the President carried out tho
policy of tho majority, for tho parly fully
sustained him. It would havo been a
political auoinally, however, if time and
discussion had not brought accessions to
tho ranks of those who espoused tho side
of uingnauimity, justice and tho Consti
tution ; aud we find that thoro aro to-day
more Republicans disposed to withdraw
aclivo support from tho Kellogg
Government iu Louisiana than thero wore
a year ago. The President htmsolf scorns
not only to recognize hut to share in this
inclination of his party to a more conser
vative and constitutional course, if we
may trust to his recent refusal to inter
fere iu Texas, and to his reported decla
rations to a delegation of Houthern Radi
cals on Friday ovening last, when ho said
that ho was tired of such nonsonse as
Federal interference in State affairs, that
it had nearly exhausted the life of tho
party, and that ho wanted no moro quar
rels about Stale matters referred to him—
lie was done with them, Ac.
Significant articles in loading Republi
can papers also encourage tho hope that
Gen. Grant is at last resolved to give an
earnest of tho sincerity of his invocation
for “peace." Tho Philadelphia J’ress of
tho llith iust., iu an article noticing tho
withdrawal of Mr. Gushing's nomination,
said: “Cushing's nomination to the Su
preme Bench was a sort, of olive branch,
and wuh doubtless mount to bo so by a
President burn to light, not to foster, ha
treds. President Grant /new all about
hiH politics boforo ho named
him for Spain aud the Supremo
Court. ” Aud tho Washington
National Hegublican (which, us we havo
horotoforo said, is holiovod to bo fully iu
tho confidence of tho Administration;,
lifter copying the article of the /Vc.s.v from
which wo havo taken the above remarks,
calls attention to the following resolution
of the Convention which nouiiuutod Gun.
Grant in 1872:
“Wo hoartily approve tho action of
Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the
(jroicth of peace and fraternal feeling
throughout the land."
And says: “In defiance aud violation
of tho peace plank in the Philadelphia
platform, the aniinosities of tho late war
were revived, aud wo were told by the
orators who never drew a sword that all
that the sword had won during four
eventful years was imperiled by tho nomi-
tion of Mr. Cushing. The appoul has
been successful, but that rucoohb, in tho
very nature of things, will and can ho
only temporary. The spirit which am
bitious politicians would revive iu dead
forovor, and cun never again bo n
pillar of fire in a Presidential cam
paign. Tho policy of the Administration
during tho last five years is the only pol
icy upon which the Republican party can
hope to maintain its leaso of power—a
policy of patriotism, of dovotiou to tho
Dost interests of tho country—a policy
that shall not go back to the politics of
twouty or thirty years ago, that shall meet
the living pronent aud future, aud not find
its strength and justification in what was
history fourteen years since. Selfish men
of the Republican faith essayed to con
sign the Republican party to tho past a
your and a half ago. The cry was then
raised of “anything to bout Grant!’ But
Grant was not beaten. Tho policy with
which ho conquered then, is certain to
conquer in tho future, and tho gentlemen
who doubt it havo only to make the trial
to bo satisfied."
Still more to tho point do we consider
an editorial of the Philadelphia lnquirtr
(an able aud representative Republican
paper) while Mr. Cushing’s nomination
was ponding, and just after tho President
hud refused aid to Davis, of Texas. It
said :
“ I’hore is a prospect of a good tirno
coming to the South—a tinio when it will
bo permitted to conduct its own elections
ami elect its own Legislatures and Gover
nors without auy assistance from Federal
bayonets. * * The declaration of
the President, which rather pointedly
inquires of Governor Davis if it would
not bo prudent to yield to the will of the
people, is significant of a change in the
Southern policy of tho administration,and
while such change is likely to fill with re
joicing tho hearts of nil true patriots,
North and South, it will excite a howl of
indignation from the carpet baggers. As
this howl indicates defeat, the country
will rather enjoy if. and if it should first
oouie from Louisiana, the more agreeable
it would be likely to prove. The war lias
been over quite long euough, aud the
fruits of victory have booh so surely gar
nered by the North that any further inter
ference with tho State governments of
the South is not only an impertinence,
but a crirno.
“Just so long un the South is disposed
to act iu absolute accord svith the Union,
and demonstrates a firm determination to
abide by tho issues of the rebellion in
good conscience, it should be permitted
to control its own ofi’airs, and Federal
bayouets havo no moro excuse for being
used at New Orleans than at Boston. At
the latter place they would not bo toler
ated, and no ono would dare .to place
them there, aud, similarly, they should
not bo imposed upon tho people of New
Orleans, who are too weAk to get rid of
them. Tho light has been long coming
to Washington upou this Southern busi
ness, but now that it has come we enter
tain tho hope that the veal reconstruction
of the Soutn will go on without further
interruption."
The«e acta aud expiations we do not
regard as conclusive, for so loDg as party
policy dictates them they lack the inflexi
bility which stern devotion to principle
would impart to them. But they certainly
do encourage us in the hope that the
President, after ao long yielding to the
pressure of the extreme and vindictive
Radical wing of his party, is now serious
ly disposed to give his encouragement to
tho conservative and constitutional senti
ment that has heretofore lacked only the
leadership which he could have given it
to enable it to make a successful stand
against the late aggrcBRions of which the
Southern pooplo havo complained.
MR. PEABODY'S BOYD BILL.
We havo noticed this gentleman's
stand in tho lower house with pleas
ure and pride. Ready in debate,
his influence is always felt for
good, and whenever a reliable committee
is wanted, bis name iH always found on
tho list. Among other bills introduced
by Mr. Peabody, is ono to prevent tho
issuance of bonds by counties or corpo
rate towns and cities until ratified by a
majority of tho property holders therein.
Article .'I, section 0, paragraph 4 of the
Constitution, relates to this bubject and
reads as follows :
“Pad. iv.—No law shall be passed by
which a citizen shall bo compelled,against
his consent, directly or iudireotly, to be
come a stockholder in, or contribute to,
any railroud or work of public improve
ment, cxcopt in tho case of tho inhabit
ants of a corporate town or city.
[2.J Iu such cases, tho General Assem
bly may permit the corporate authorities
to|tako such stock, or ruuko hucli contri
bution, or ougago in such work, after a
majority of the qualified voters of such
town or city, voting at an election hold
for tho purpose, shall have voted iu favor
of tho same; but not otherwise.”
As regards the issuance of bonds by
counties, the above clatiso renders discus
sion unnecessary ; for, as long as a single
citizen objects, the thing is unlawful, and
the result amounts to a prohibition. The
Constitution, however, authorizes a ma
jority of the “qualified voters” of corpo
rate towns and cities to issue bonds ; and
wo doubt very much whether a legislative
enactment, without it involves a change
iu tho Constitution, or amends each par
ticular town or city’s chartor, withdrawing
the right to is.-uio bonds altogether, can
take from tho qualified voters tho right
vestod in them by the Constitution. Sec
tion IV, of Articlo Xi, of that basis of all
State law, ronders inviolable
“All rights, privileges and immunities
which may have vested in, or accrued to,
any person or persons, or corporation, in
his, her or their own right, or iu auy fidu
ciary capacity, under any act of any legis
lative body, sitting in this State as such.”
Suppose tho bill should bo declared
constitutional, would it not work great in
convenience to Columbus? Our bonded
debt is maturing now at the rate of $2u,-
000 per annum, ami it is all we can staud
up to. After a few' yoars double this
amount will bocomo payable each twelve
months. Then, should the City Council
desire to issue rodemtive bonds to help
bridge over, could a majority of tho pro
perty owners bo secured ? Or, should tho
city conclude to aid iu securing water
works, would it bo possible to comply
with the requirements of the bill? We
think not. Who would have the right to
vote for the Eagle Factory, Muscogee
Mills, City Gas Works, tho Georgia Home,
and other corporations with stockholders
(consequently property owners) scattered
from New York to New Orleans, or for
Kent’s, Ennis’, ami othor stores owned
by non-residents, or for minors and
widows? Iu all, aggregating fully ouo-
tbird of the taxable property of tho city.
From the other two-thirds must bo ob
tained a majority of the whole. Mr. Pea
body, with his characteristic judgment,
may luivo provided remedies for tho ob
jections wo have advanced, but in tho ab-
souco of auy knowledge of such action,
wo havo doomed it our duty to submit tho
suggestions given above.
If 1,100 citizons of Columbus register
and qualify as voters, it requires uudor
the Constitution, not a majority of those
votiug, but a majority of tho whole, say
701, to render ntiy assurance of bonds lo-
gal. Is this not sufticiout safeguard ?
GEORGIA’S PROTEST.
Tho following is the protest adopted
by both brunches of tho Georgia Legisla
ture against tho Civil Rights bills now
ponding in Congress :
Whereas, The chief objects of all gov
ernments should be tho protection of per
son and proporty, and that all men have
an equal right to justice and to stand per
fectly equal before the law ; that Geor
gia most cheerfully accords to every in
dividual within tho borders of tho State
tho amplest protection and security in all
thoso rights; thnt thero is not in our
organic law, uor upon our statuto
books, a single provision that militates
against uuy class oa account of race
or color: that wo deny tho right or
power of Cougress, under tho amended
Constitution of the United Stutes, to ex-
oroise a general municipal as well as crimi
nal legislation ovor tho people of Geor
gia : that the passage of tho civil rights
bill now pending before Congress, or uny
other bill of like character, is an infringe
ment upou tho roservod rights of the
States, aud wv.s never contemplated by
tho framers of t^at Constitution, nor of
auy amendment to tlie same; that tho
passage of the civil rights bill would, in
our opinion, be inexpedient, injudicious,
unwise and contrary to the wishes of both
tho white aud colored people of this
State ; that we do uot believe the colored
people of Georgia de-ire mixed schools and
mixed churches, or anything which par
takes of social rights; that these questions
of social rights must aloue be regulated
by socioty. Therefore,
Resolved, By the Senate and House of
Representative?, that we mo it respect
fully and earnestly request our National
Congress not to interfere with the muni
cipal regulations o» the States by tho pas
sage of the present civil rights bill, or
auy bill of like import aud character, but
to leavo all these questions to the States,
whore they properly belong.
Resolved, That the Governor forward
a copy of tho foregoing preamble and res
olutions to the presiding officers of oach
of tho Houses of Congress, w ith a request
that the same be laid before that body.
From Florida.
Tallahassee, Jan. 21.—The Alabama
Commissioners, appointed by the Legisla
ture of that State to negotiate for the an
nexation of West Florida to Alabama, are
here. The probabilities are that they will
succeed in their efforts, as the present
Legislature is composed of the most unre
liable lot of men who have occupied such
positions since the war. A good deal of
lobbying is going on for and against the
propoaition.
