DAILY TIMES. SUNDAY _ JANTJABY 8. tt7g. 11. U. WIU.UM4, . ■ - Ejjtor. ioi.t war* IKPAMOUB fAMEBOOW ON HKH CITIZENS. When wo enmo to the conclusion to leave the loffal fraternit y and embark oo thd tmeortniß wntm-s of journal ism, wo dtil so with two objoctM in view-one to prosjior, and the Other to uphold tho dignity and self-respect of tho South. Tills, tho second day of our,oxlteate. we foci called upon to -uv#lc ut in behalf of this communi ty, In reply to tho slanderous article (which wo give in another column of this paper) headed “MUnDEUS ELHKWJIKBE IN THE SOUTH - IIOW MEN ARE KILLED ON THE CHAT TAHOOCHEE BORDER, &C.” The lottor with this flaming head ing was written from Columbus to the Now York Times, by their correspon dent, evidontiy before tho last scone of bloodshed was enacted upon our streets. This remarkably slanderous letter needs nd defense in this community, or in tiro South, but away in the fur North such lettors not only harm us jiocunlarily, but do us great injustice; for thoro the people are anxious to hear and believe all munnorof things against us. We owe It to thoso few brave men at tho North who have over tried to stand between us and tho horde of slanderous voters who, not satisfied with robbing us, and in milting our women and children, but now seek to further grind us in tho dust by degrading laws and willful mlsroprc3en tatlons. Crimes arc committed here, just ex actly as they are in every* other civil ized community, and wo assert that tiro groat North with its boasted morality and respect for law and or der, is not as free from crime in pro portion to the inhabitants as is the city of Columbus hr the South ; nor liavo they half tho provocation ? Tho idea of a man; so far forgetting the obligation of toiling the truth, as to writo that our worneu uphold and ap plaud erimo; that there ure “suffl clent young ruffians who go armed to render unsafe the free expression of opinion, unless by a man bold enough to carry his life in his hand!” The , man who wrote the lottor knew he was not telling the truth, and it was writtou like all others of that charac ter, to injure, und keep alivo the pre judices of emigrants. How long are we to be slandered find to suffer, to atono for leaving a Govornmont which refused us protec tion ? Cun it be that wo are ever henceforth to be traduced ? What an individual may think, amounts to nothing; but when a representative paper like the New York Times pub lishes such abuse, and the Philadel phia Press copies it, without com ments, it ought to be evidenco to our people flint the North is still against UR. Well if they are against us, what of it? Our people are somewhat to blame for it, for they would lot us alone, if we would only become totally indifferent to their opinions. Trade with the West and Europe, and in a few years instead of-our being scoffed at and spit upon by the North, they will change their tactics and make us advoneos. The fact Is our people are too much burdened with weighing their words, and cheeking their opin ions, for fear the people of the North won't like it. They know we feel this way, and imagine us ail to stand in absolute dread of their censure and disapproval. We should bo men, in dependent In simech and action. Lot us be Sure we arc right, nud then fol low our honest convictions. It is asking a little too much, for them not oiriy'tA writ nil "our State govern ments, but to control our thoughts, our consciences, and our conduct. Wo are a responsible people, endow ed with inteUigonofc and enlighten ment, and 'amenable to our laws, and not to them as a body of individuals attempting to control the opinion of (lie balance of mankind. It seems we have In llio last few years lost our manhood, and a proper seuse of our self-respect, by toadying to tho North. Let us stand free of all dread t their opinions, and look for a mar ket in other lands. Let the emlgran t hear direct from us, of our resources and our climate, and ho will come. Who wrote this letter wo can not tell, aWo mat* introduced to Mr. Howard Carroll some time siuoe, and lie was represented as tho correspon dent of the New York Times. We can, say that he wrote It. We hope ho did not; for if he did, it was showing appreciation with a ven geance, “for the hospitality atid wol ctvmM&i*' 11 dw IriHv-WhilO henvfind on tho occasion of being called out by our people to speak when they were rejoicing over the white man’s triumph in the lute Alabama elec tions. How ridiculous it was for Grant, to issue his proclamation commanding "wild disorderly and turbulent per sona” in Warren county, Mississippi, “to disperse and retire peaceably to their res]H'ot*vp abodes within live days,” when, in fact, the white citi zens of Vicksburg had several days beMrf hAuSetf the nogfo rioters to dis perse and retire to their homes.

The latest sub ject gf joturoiiit iij Washington is the contingent fund of the Navy, which scents toJtave born freely drawn upon rof ■WihiifiSgn pufpcisfS during tho oast fall. There is talk of demanding Xtosi Hm ftnprctary a full account of ts disbursements, but we can hardly \peet so much from the present evil 's*. HUB WHK. Who are tucyi What are they? Wluit then? Do you know ooc? We dare say tyou ilo; for Mr. A., Mr. 13., Air. 0., and o on to Mr. Z., are blue men. Not that every man Is in tho category in question, but if the let ters of the ulpluihot may represent tyixw of men found In overy branch of business, then Mr. A., Mr. 13., Mr. C., &0., are specimens of desponden cy. Mr. A., Isa lawyer, a mediator between tho law and his client. Ho has at once a ministry for tho protec tion of both. Hs says ho has tried to be an honest lawyer. Skeptics say iionest lawyers are rare; ergo Mr. A., Is a rare lawyer. Ho is a man of good parts slid Ims studied tils profession. Few study as they ought. But ho lias made tho ordinary curriculum and has somo experience as a prac titioner. Yet, of late lie has become disheurtened. Matters liavo not worked as they should ,hc says. He hus few clients and thinks of leaving the profession. No, Mr. A., you are about to err greatly. Stick to your profession. It Is a greatand good one. Begin the new yeur with closer appli cation to your business; and keep a big, brave heart beating in your bo som and you arc sure to work out a grand result. Mr. 8., you say you urea farmer. You’ve been farmingforseveral years. You are in u worso condition to day than you wero when you be gan. The warehousemen and gro cers liavo all your cotton. The fruits of your honest toll have been garnered by others. You liavo inudu other men fat and yourself ;>oor. That’s bad. The country Is ruined, you say. That’s worse. Yon are going to leavo it. That’s worst of all. But hold a moment, friend. Put tho common sense logic to your cose. You huvo failed. You know why you liavo not succeeded. Loose financial management, caterpillar, poor system of labor; these you say are the causes. Well, then, these causes are universal and not local. Go to work with every other good man to control tho causes, and tiie effects are sure to drift Into your own pockets. Mr. C. is a merchant of Columbus. This lias always boon a good trade centre. It has boon a little behind; allowed tho railroads to run around it instead of through it. But, then, It has matchless resources yet undevel oimd and utilized. The trade is duller with you this season than it has ever been before. You are not selling goods enough by half to sustain you in your business. You are barely making a living. Well, you arc a very fortunate man if you are making a living. Nee here, did you know the people of tills country have been over living und ovorpurchusing their real income over since the war ? The far mers have cheated you, you still urge, and have been utterly faithless In many instances. They liavo made you promises time and again, und us often have broken them. “Have not some of them paid you ?” “Yes; and they are gentlemen.” “Well, be pa tient; it may be that many of them have made an honest effort, and fail ed. This is a revolutionary period. The forces at work over our country are far from being restored to equi librium. The wheel will turn again. Keep your heart up.” We cannot present all these eases; we have not time. Let them nil see In answer to the second query what pictures they make. A blue man. What is he? A piece of sour, wrin kled humanity. His face is wrinkled; Ids hands are wrinkled; ids body is wrinkled; his brain is wrinkled, aud we are not sure that Ills heart is not wrinkled. He feeds on the humors of mlsunthrophy, aud they are sure to wither Ills sensibilities and con tract bis soul. Poisons are secreted In Ills mind aud liver, and both be come torpid. Ho lias a “lean and hungry look;” seldom smiles. His life is canopied with clouds. Tine most striking feature, however, in the ease is that the unhappy vic tim of tho dangerous malady sees everything else that is ilark except his own dark disease. Should he read this article, ho will say “it is iny neighbor and not I.” But there are otiier victims who set* it, and alas! too sadly. This brings mo to tho third query. What then? Those men have homes and wives, to whom they re turn at evenings. Miserable fellows! tired of business, tired of the dull routine of the day: they never fan cy that they ure making women tired of life. They know nothing of the tears shed in their ab sence, nothing of the hidden heartaches, and patient waiting and hoping, and disappointment, that make the wear and tear of a woman’s life. A woman’s home arid her hus band’s happiness make her all. The one is worth nothing without the other. If she were In a palace, with out his love—and that, too, demon strated she would be unhappy. Has nuy man, then, ever the right to visit his business troubles on his wife? nis face should grow brighter instead of darker as he apxiroaehed his home. A bright face costs nothing; kind words cost nothing; a gentle, loving disposition costs nothing; but these together are worth everything. They make up the sum of human happi ness. Blue man, desponding man, you may do more harm thun the mur derer. Are yon making a pale face at your fireside? All murderers do uot use a sharp blade or a nugget of load. Last year you masked yourself In that cold, hard fare. You have a good heart, we all know that. You have a generous, uoble nature. As this year begins throw off that mask and let your real, good, true self eliinc on your fare and in your life. Leave kind remeinberances at your home and scatter smiles along tho street as you go to your busiuess. Encouraging words and good cheer to everybody, bring a larger revenue than any other in ve.-Ament. Look at yourself as the first sun of this new year dawns on you; and if you arc not u true, good, noble man, ask yourself the reason why, nud go to work In good earnest to make yourself so. Forgot your past If need be, and throw your heart and your sympathies Into the present. Our country is pussing through a critical period. Wo want good, truo men to watch the Changes and work for her development. Lot the clouds that have lingered for so many days roll back on tho failures and dis appointments of the past, and with the first sunlight of ’75 let us, one and all, take fresh courage, with n deter mination to help everything that de serves our support, and do work for ourselves and for one anotfier, that wo may effoet tho maximum common good. The New Mlanliwlppi Nrnntor. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Hun has this to say of Mississippi’s colored Senator ; Mr. Bruce, the colored Senator elect from Mississippi, lias been In Washington several days. He spends some time in condoling with the unhappy Pinch back. Bruce, although said to be a fullblooded negro. Is not very dark colored, aud has several times been taken for one of King Kalakaua’s suite. Like all the other present and prosixietive negro Congressmen, ho dresses in fine broadcloth and B]>orts tho heaviest of watch chains. There has been spme talk about having him investigated when ho comfSs in tho Senate, but tho charges made against him affect only his acts os a State officer, he formerly having been Sher iff, and it is not likely that the Senate will consider that it should take cog nizance of such matters. Mr. Bruce does not look intellectually the equal of liis colored predecessor from Mis sissippi, Hovels. The speeches which Bevels delivered in the Senate were all prepared, it Is alleged, for him. On one occasion, while Bevels wus spouting one of these saeeches in the Senate, Mr. Sumner crossod over, and, taking a seat by a Democratic Sena tor, whispered to him, "Bevels is a oor shoat.” * —— Tlir Louisiana Infamy. The Hartford Times says: “The throwing overboard of the tea in Boston harbor the bloody resistance to the British troops by the American militia at Lexington —were justifiable acts of resistance to tyranny. But they were occasioned by acts of o|>- pression and outrage no more fla grant and defiant, and no more threatening to the existence of free dom in tills country, thun this i>er formance of tho Grant and Kellogg ‘returning board’ of Louisiana. This action, throwing out the legally elec ted Congressmen and members of tho Legislature, and putting Kel logg’s creatures in their places, prac tically disfranchises tho jicople of that State. It is upheld by Presldeat Grant. Ho has placed in New Or leans a sufficient military and naval force to silence all practical opposi tion. A national Senator is to lie chosen by this new Legislature; and one of tiie Graut-Kellogg ring ex poeta by this infamous proceeding to secure the place, and thus give the Grant-Radical party another Senator. Of course this bold defiance of the popular vote, and of everything like law and justice, if tacitly acquiesced in by tiie American people in the ease of Louisiana, leaves the door open to a repetition of the outrage in auy State, North or South, whenever Grant and his supporters may again feel the need of securing by such means that support in Congress which the country is withdrawing from him and his friends.” 110w r to Treat Bubol.uis. —Shooting burglars “on the sjiot" is declared by as competent legal authority as Charles O’Conor to lie just and bene ficial. It seems that some person of over-exquisite sensibilities, feeling exercised lest the law had been frac tured in tho killing of tiie burglars at Ray Ridge, wrote to Mr. O’Conor as to what he thought about it. The great New York lawyer responded that he saw no occasion for consider ing the technical question stated. Men who devote their lives to house breaking and theft as an occupation can hardly be said to have any rights which others are hound to resjieet. Their habitual pursuit justly con demns them to outlawry. At least such is their condition while prowl ing lu the night time within or around the dwellings of their intended vic tims. When In the attempt to exe cute a felonious enterprise they hai>- peu to bo slain by the family whom they are seeking to plunder, public justice will institute no fastidious scrutiny. No one will enquire wheth er all tho forms or ceremonies were observed which some ancient law giver or modern enaomont for “that ease made and provided” may have discreetly suggested, whatever may be tho strict law applicable to the ease; and whatever exact duty might enjoin, no magistrate will commit the slayer to prison, no grand jury will indict them, nor will any district attorney prosecute or petit jury eon vlet. In summing up, Mr. O’Conor concludes, lu the words above quoted, that the action of the Van Brunts in killing the burglars in question was “just and beneficial,*’ and that nice criticism ui>oii the manner of their achievement is out of place, A sou-committee of the Senate have commenced ail investigation at the Post Office Department to ascertain, if possible, tiie cause of the deficit of seven or eight millions in that ser vice, with a View of reeonimenUUig such legislation as will reduce expen ses. It has been ascertained already that there is an increase of a million and a half dollars In transportation alone. —The negroes and white men, who committed the daring buglary in Au gusta, in robbing tho house of Mr. J. s, Wright, have wen captured. {For the Tump.

The bare suspicion ot such a thing is a slander M|h>ii the disinterested pa triotism of the President, who was never known to appoint a man to office from any other than the purest and most disinterested motives, and with an eye single to the Interests of the public service.
