That there are frauds innumerable ot the ballot l>ox in thi State there can l>e no question, nor is any one to blame in the matter except the fraud ulent voter. Prom the very nature of our voting population, fraud is cer tain in every election, if the least pos sible chance is given for its exercise. In an article pertaining to thissubjeet we (Milled tho attention of the public to tlie great and steadily increasing evils that result from our present mode of conducting elections, and suggested that the sidling of a vote be made a punishable offense, and the ]>erson convicted be forever de barred the privilege of the ballot, This plan will in a measure prevent tho wdiolesale sale of votes, but still it will be evaded und the law not vin dicated. These people to whom we refer are such a tax upon candidates that but few men can ufTord to run, and if the evil progresses in the fu ture as rapidly us in the past, it will be equivalent to prohibiting a man without money from offering for any office that has to be elected by tho people—the great sovereign voters of Georgia. This question then elicits a great degree of interest, und it should be the duty of the Legislature, before they adjourn, to pass some luw t hat will check and put a stop to this fraudulent voting and the sale of votes. We have u plan to remedy the matter, and while we arc not wedded to it, yet wo give it, and ask the earn est attention of our Immediate mem bers to it. Everybody is in favor of some stringent law on the subject, no matter of wliut. nature. We propose that the Legislature pass an act requiring that ten days before each county election each vo ter shall have been registered, and all taxes due from him be paid before registering. In this way you secure th(> ballot box from fraud, and save the candidates and their friends the expense of paying other people’s taxes in order to obtain their votes. The practical working of such a law will debar a great many from voting, yet it will leave the eloetion of our office-holders to tho selection of the white men of this country. It does not deprive any one from voting; It onlv places a restriction or rule gov erning the manner in which they shall vote. If the right to vote is such u great and important right, let them learn to respect the rights of the State by the payment of their taxes. We know plenty of white men in this county that did not voto in the recent (doction because they had not paid their tax, and knew it was wrong to voto otherwise. When such a law is passed, tho registration of voters will take place ten days before the elec tion, and no candidate would risk paying taxes for voters that far before the election. This floating class of voters would then be without an oc cupation, for on the day of election it would bo too late (o pay taxes, and only those registered and marked laid on the lists furnished tho mana gers would bo permitted to cast their vote. Pnoors ot Claims Against I!a.nk ltrprs. Persons having claims against Bankrupts, under a late act of Congress, can now go before any Notary Public, and prove the same. Before this late act. they were re quired to prove their claims before a Bankrupt Commissioner, sometimes at a heavy expense in travelling, &c. Tho feo of the Notary Public not be ing more than $1 with the seal. • ♦ • That eminent lawyer, Gen. Sheri dun, in his “brief” makes the follow ing statement: “The Governor now requested the Commanding General of the Department to aid him in re storing order and enable the legally returned members of the House to proceed with its organization accord ing to law. This request was reason able and in accordance with law.’’ If Gen. Sheridan means that Kel logg had a legal right to make this request, wo presume nobody will dis pute it. He has a legal right to re quest tho Commanding General to do anything that might please him to stop the axial revolution of the earth, for Instance, or to set the Mississippi River on tiro, but he could not have asked him to do a more absurd or a more illegal net than to interfere in the organization of the Legislature. Perhaps Sheridan’s extensive legal attainments will enable him to point out the statute which confers this authority on the Commanding Gen oral, or an Gov. Kellogg, or oven on Gen. Sheridan himself. An attempt is now made to extricate Grant and his military agents from the conse quences of this extraordinary pro ceedings by the assumption that the Governor has a right to control the organization of Hie Legislature. This is as false as all the rest. The Gov ernor has no sueli right. Wo give this information to Gen. Sheridan without charge, in order that ho may cease to make himself ridiculous if lie chooses 1 But he will not choose. .V. O. Picayune. ...... ♦ ♦ • —Sheridan innocently supposes that he makes a point when, in his famous report to tno Secretary of War, lie urges that Speaker Wilts set the ex ample of calling for military inter ference. The facts arc indeed. Sher idan so states them -that Mr. Wiltz, tlnding Gen. Do Trobilaud and the United States army in possession of the State House, and being informed that the object of that occupation was to preserve pence and order, re quested the General to speak to a dis orderly crowd assembled in tho lob by, from whom lie feared disturbance and to control whom tho Kellogg officials were unable or unwilling. Mr. Wilta did not invite the army to come upon the floor of the House, or to take the smallest part in the pro ceedings of the Legislature. And this, we imagine, is about as near as Sheridan ever came to making a point. N. 0. Picayune. —J. H. Estill. of the Savannah .Vries, presented Col.

Special OwriMpotidunoS Daily Tlifth.J Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 14, 1875. The hurly-burly of tho hast few days is rapidly giving way here to the or dinary routine of a legislative ses sion. Tho ranks of the lookers-on having been very much thinned by departures, one can get around, even at tho H. I. K. House, with some de gree of comfort; and if we could but get a glimpse of the sun occasionally, there would not be much cause for grumbling. Among other distinguished men In tho city is Gen. Bobert Toombs, who still looks hale, hearty and fresh, and attracts wherever he goes, by his inimitable powers of conversation, a crowd of eager listeners, who seem much to enjoy his brilliant and orig inal sayings albeit, not always clothed in strictly crclexiastical lan guage. A movement is on foot to get the General mid Hon. B. H. Hill to address the people, next, week, on Louisiana affairs. Gen. Toombs is understood to be warmly in favor of a constitutional convention—one of the strongest ar guments in favor of which seems to your correspondent to Vic, a necessity for the reduction of the number of members of the House. At present it consists of 175 members, and lias consumed two days In organizing and drawing for seats, with scarcely any other business having been done than to receive and read the Governor’s message, notwithstanding every member seems ready and willing to go to work. The cause is that the body is unwieldy from its size; if It could Vic reduced one-lialf, the busi ness of legislation would lie much facilitated. But little has been done in either House to-day, other than to read the Governor’s annual message, which, I presume, you have ere tliis received. It seems to boa comprehensive document. Among other Interesting items it shows u snug little balance of $1,086,045 in the treasury of the State on January Ist, 1875. The Macon & Brunswick Railroad comes in under his recommendation i for a thorough examination. It is gravely doubted whether the en- j dorsement of tho bonds of this road j was legal. It can only be settled by a solution of two questions: First was an amount equal to the sum for | which tho State became liable by ; endorsement, subscribed and paid in I by bona fide stockholders; second if tills (a condition precedent to the i endorsement) was not done, did the j present holders of these bonds re- j oeive the same with notice of this [ defect ? The question is complicated, both from the fact of the difficulty of I procuring accurate information, us well as from the legislation in refer- j ence thereto, of each successive i Legislature since 1868. The Governor, as you will see, (joes for the Atlanta University. Tin’s is a colored college, and has an appro priation of SB,OOO annually for its support. He recommends that this appropriation be withheld for the present for two reasons. That it is a school where practical social equal- j Ity is taught, and that theology is al so taught. It ought, to be understood, however, that our very worthy Gov ernor is not opposed to theology gen erally, but only constitutionally, and his recommendation meets with favor. His object is not to deprive the negro ot the means of education, but insists that the State ought not voluntarily to support a school or system of schools, “where! a the mischievous doctrine of social equality is practi cally inculcated.” Senator Wofford of the loth, and Mr. Carlton of Clarke, introduced in the Senate and House, respectively, i a series of resolutions on Louisiana ; affairs. The resolutions, however, lie | over; no discussion ensued, and I| dare say no intemperate expressions will be mingled with the calm, dig nifled, but decided protest aguiiit the wrong, which, through Louisiana, is sought by the President and his ad visers, to lie done the people of I lie South. Altogether the present Legislature impresses one well ; its persons! is flue,and the many well known citi zens with a State reputation in each house will doubtless give tone and character to the legislation of this sossion. L. A. W. . ♦ > — Ol B WANmxUTW LETTER. Washington City, Jan. 0, 1875. Special Correspondence Daily Timks.J The Louisiana outrage, about which the telegraph keeps you fully in formed, has taken precedence of the Civil Rights infamy, the jobs and other iniquities which have ever marked the action of Republican ma jorities, leaving no general topics for a correspondent's use. The sturdy old watch dog of the House, the champion of the South and of the constitutional rights of the entire country, Beck, of Kentucky, has notified the “Beast” and his co horts that they shull not lviss the Civil Rights bill without the Demo cratic members are guilty' of absen teeism. He will make his word good. After his fearless and very able lead ership of un almost helpless minority for over ten years, it is to bo regretted that Mr. Beck is among the few self retiring members who -go out with the present session. After a brief rest it is to be hoped that his district will again demand his valuable servi cos. Every one knows Washington as the city of magnificent distances and palatial buildings, but no one who has not visited the capital in the past eighteen months can imagine the change which has been wrought, and for which the tax payers paid the ring four prices. A uniform grade has been adopted, and the streets paved in a manner which will present a very handsome appearance until the “Nicholson” completely rots —say six months longer. The capital grounds have been greatly enlarged, giving j distance and un effect which is a won derful improvement. The grounds on Hie east front of the building have, been graded down from 4 to Vi feet,and a corresponding filling up is in pro gress on the west front, which Will give a greater appearance of strength to the terraced foundation, always objectionable. The wide streets of the city, save Pennsylvaniauv. and possi bly one or two others,have been reduc ed in width,the property owners I icing allowed to have grass plats about twcnty*feot wide, the sidewalks being that distanoo from the houses. Where the grading has left the hou ses above the grade of the street, nice terraces run up from the pavement. It is very pretty indeed, and might convey u hint to your own city, which keeps up fully one-third more “of street” than is necessary. Between the grass plats and sidewalks the dis trict ring placed fencing low and light, and In many instances very handsome. It marks unmistakably where the ring and its friends own the property, and you can count just us certainly upon its being tho possessions of u Democrat, when you see the railing ugly, cheap and common. Kissing goes by favor Is an adage that cer tainly holds good in this city, the capital of the nation. The original I projectors of Washington designed that the grounds extending from the Capitol to the Washington Monu ment should always remain unoccu pied, save as a park, or by the botani cal and other gardens, and such build ings as the Smithsonian Institute. This sacred ground lias been crossed, however, by the railroad tracks of the Potomac railroad and its de pot, a gem of tho architectural art. has just been thrown o]>en, a uiagntl ! cent monument to the party intrigue | and corruption which enabled Tom Scott and that hoary-headed old sin ner, Simon Cameron, to influence such partial legislation which the most rabid Radical now admits must soon be undone the tracks remov ed and the building purchased by the Government, at three prices This depot cost a vast sum, and is suggestive in another direction. The company that constructed it made sixty-three ($63) dollars over opera ting expenses last year, leaving out the question of its interest on its bonded debt, which the Pennsylva nia railroad had to foot, it being too far North to shift the responsibility muon the Southern Security Company. The papers here are making war upon the Gas Light Company. They charge that the Company makes an excellent article during the session ! and an unendurable mixture during j recess. The Washington Monument j still marks a nation’s ingratitude. I examined the base of this structure and It impressed me as very Inferior. The rock of the masonry was in small pieces and the cement could be cut out with the blade of an ordi nary penknife. It Is eighty feet high now, whether it can stand four hun dred and twenty more the original design, Is very questionable, it would seem as if even the monument to the Father of his Country affords a job. Now and Then. > ♦. UKORUIA Mils. Bishop Beckwitli confirmed twelve negroes in Savannah last Sun day. It is said by Harris of the .Yen's, that when the boys want to scare the Atlanta police, they get in an alley and cry “Wiley Redding.” From the Comptroller’s report the .Yeics compiles the following ; Tlie number of acres of wild and improved land in Georgia is 34,535,63!), valued at $08,70:1,780. -11 l 1873, the total value of city and town property in Georgia was $58,302,246. In 1871 the value is $.57,- 318,-218. in Bibh the decrease amounts to $168,216; in Chatham to $1,513,800; in Fultou to $150,008. in Richmond tlio increase amounts to $147,800, and in Muscogee to $66,772. It will be seen from the above that instead of a decrease of city property in Columbus, it has Increased $06,- 772, while most of the other cities have gone down. Georgia has 115,330 white voters, against 81,320 negro suffrage slingers. The colored people of Georgia own property to the amount of $6,157- 708 more than the colored people und carpet-baggers of South Caro lina, Florida, Alabama ami Louisiana combined.
