• ——
The Congressional Com m it tee w tiieli
went to Alabama to investigate the
condition of affairs in that State make
two roports. The majority report is
signed by Messrs. Coburn, Albright,
and Camion. They report that but
for the timely interference of the Ad
ministration in,Louisiana, a revolu
tion would have been precipitated
upon the jieople of Alabama. The
committee further rejiort that mem
bers of the Republican party were
subjected to a series of indignities and
such maltreatment ns has heretofore
been witnessed only in savage war
fare. That in order to crush out the
Republican party the Democrats in
augurated a business and social os
tracism. They declare the recent vic
tory in Alabama was won by fraud,
violenefe and murder; that the officers
are In concert with the law-breakers,
and the Ooverner unwilling to order
the execution of the laws. They re
gret more United States soldiers were
not in the State to carry out the En
forcement law.
The report then treats of ballot-box
stuffing and the burning of ballot
boxes, which were indulged in, and
gives a full review of the riots at Mo
bile, Eufaula, Spring Hill, Folkland,
Gainesville, and other places. The
opinion Is expressed by the commit
tee that had a full, fair, and free elec
tion taken place the entire Republi
can State ticket, with a majority of
the members of the General Assem
bly, and six out of eight Republican
Congressmen would have been elect
ed, and they recommend the passage
of thQ “Force bill.”
WSORITY lIEfOHT.
The minority report of the Commit
tee make a very long, and different
report from the above. They begin
by protesting against the indecent
haste with which the investigation
was conducted, but say the evidence
taken" by the committee established
that Alabama was as peaceful, quiet,
and law-abiding as any other State.
There was no more need of the pres
ence of troops in Alabama, than in
Missouri or California. That the few
acts of violence brought to their at
tention were not proven to have been
Committed prior to the sending of
troops to the State, nor has there
been any proof that such acts were
Instigated from political matters;
that it was a party necessity of the
Radical leaders to create real or ap
parent disorder in the State, and that
the use of tho bacon donated by Con
gress to the sufferers by the overflow,
the nppolntment of special deputy
marshals by the score in the counties
and districts within the black belt, if
not under instructions from the head
of the Dejxirtment of Justice, at least
with assent and connivance; and the
false and unfounded charges of mur
der, violence and insecurity of i>erson
and property made for the purpose of
obtaining the Introduction of the
military into tho State, were part and
]>areel of tho scheme concocted by
Republican Congressmen to carry tho
election in November last, per fan et
nefat.
While proscription and ostracism,
carpet-baggery and scalawugery and
subjects of alike character were most
thoroughly ventilated, u full and
thorough examination of the manner
and purpose of the distribution of
the “over-flowed” bacon was not per
mitted. Enough, however, was pick
ed up, the minority say, during the
investigation together with the re
port of the Secretary of War already
given to the House, to show conclu
sively that this benefaction of the
(joyornmeut was diverted from the
object for which it was giveD, and
that a large part of it was used for
the same purpose that the troops of
the United States were asked for—to
carry the election by consolidating
and massing the negro vote for the
Radical ticket.
They conclude the report by saying;
for suocess, outrage and violence
must be manifested, and if it had no
real existence their necessities re
quired its manufacture. Success was
hopeless without it, and with it
came the army and victory at the
polls.
It is not at ail strange that mem
bers of this committee should see the
same things in a different light. The
oommittee was sent to Alabama in
the interest of the Republican party,
and sworn before it left to call before
it ail the negroes and carpet-baggers
In the State,<ind report their trou
bles and tribulations. A majority of
the committee did their party’s bid
ding, but a few brave, honest mon,
eomi>osing the minority, would not
lend themselves to further this dirty
work, anil hence could not see the
outrages Alabamians had committed,
when all the evidence showed it was
an honest effort at the ballot box to
rid themselves of the curs and mon
grels who had been feeding on her
vitals. Of course the majority rei>ort
will be adopted by the Administra
tion, with characteristic hate for the
South and to please a rabid mob at
the North.
Htaxd? Your Chicks.— There is a
clause in the ‘‘little tariff bill,” sign
ed by the President on Monday,
February Bth, which provides that
every chock or iwper used as a vouch
er, or on which money is drawn from
a bank or bankers, either on time or
demand, shall be stamped with a two
eent stamp, which shall be cancelled
with the iuitialsof the signer and the
date. The penalty for violation of
the law is SSO fine on the one draw
ing the cheek and SSO on the bank
paying it.
BKKntK-TILTSV IXFABV.
Tho testimony of Mrs. Moulton, and
the servants of Tilton, make damag
ing evidence against the reverend
bonediet. All of as are prone to be
lieve many things against men cloth
ed with the livery of Heaven, when
we would discredit the same things
said concerning the “common herd,
and, therefore, the press, as a general
rule, have rather favored the cause of
Mr. Beecher until now, when witness-,
es of unimpeachable character are
brought forward, who know some
thing about him and Elizabeth that
must damage his cause before a jury.
More testimony of the same kind is
behind the scenes, which will come j
to the front and reiterate the classic
remark of Elizabeth, “I feel just so
so.”
This is certainly a curious law suit,
for it has brought together husband
against wife, and brother against sis
ter. They seem to lose sight of fhe
poor wife and sister in the struggle
for personal vindication. Such doings
appearstrango to Southern people,for
whore Is the man among us who would
prove his wife’s faithlessness in order
to vindicate his abuse against a man.
They go on, from day to day, making
a parade to the world, and at last tho
real disgrace falls on the erring wife.
This may be a “civilized” way of do
ing things, and may not be “chiral -
rie,” but it is certainly, in our opin
ion, a despicable attempt on the part
ol Tilton to wring money from Beech
er at the sacrifleo of his wife’s name ;
and it is further evidence of Beecher’s
loose morals, and the education his,
congregation receives from him. The i
idea of a woman’s allowing her pastor
to talk with her ou such subjects is
only a little more revolting than the
l>astor’3 daring to confess such faith
to the bosom of a would-be respect
abb' member of his congregation.
Wonders never cease, though we are
not much surprised at this phase of
the New Turk “upper ten.” When
the end has come, no matter who
wins, both will lose.
Alfonso.— Great Britain lias recog- j
nized Alfonso as King of Spain, and ;
the young King may feel consid
erably taller and prouder over the
fact that his right to wear kingly
robes is conceded by the sovereign-,
ties of Europe. Still it would be un
doubtedly more to his satisfaction if
some of the great powers would
kindly take measures to assist him to
put an end to the pesky C'arlist insur
rection. Those powers will very
cheerfully hold him and his govern
ment to a strict accountabilly for
any outrage his people may commit
upon the persons and property of
their subjects; but they have no am
bition to help him out of his diffi
culties.
Pacific Mail Surra—There is a g<>od
! prospect, that the alleged recipients
of Pacific Mail money, disbursed to
secure an increased subsidy from
Congress, will have a chance to de
fend their right and title thereto in
the courts of law. The public will
naturally take more than ordinary
interest in the suits, which, if institu
ted, may bring out many interesting
faets, which it was neither within the
power nor scope of a Congressional
committee to develop.
On account of the warmth with
which the Brooklyn scandal is dis
cussed it has t>een found necessary in
most of the leading saloons of New
York to post placards forbidding all
discussion of the subject. The idea
originated with a Fulton street “dis
penser,” who purchased his wisdom
with a pier glass valued at S2OO. The
glass was fractured during a little
controversy as to tho respective mer
its of the pluintiff and defendant.
The new Senator from Tennesvs?,
Andy Johnson, will find on his re
turn to the Senate but one of those
who voted in his favor ui>on the im- j
peaehmeut trial. This is Senator Mc-
Creery, of Kentucky. He will find
ten, however, who voted against him,
viz.: Anthony, Cameron, Conkling,
Cragin, Edmunds, Frelinghuysen,
Howe, the two Morrills and Sherman.

I The Chicago Times asks: 'Who is
! Jones? He has been elected to the
i Federal Senate from Florida, after a
i long and acrimonious contest.” And
the Grand Rapids Denunrnt answers:
"He belongs to that jiarty the Time*
has been endeavoring to bury for the
past ten years—he’s a Democrat.”
Whiting from Lyons, France, Colo
nel Forney says that "the working
people of America are the happiest
and best paid on earth. They eat the
white bread of the world.” And what
glorious chances this country afford
for $25,000 speculations.

Gen. James B. Steadman, a well
known Union officer, who was in tho
army with Grant, and whoso knowl
edge of him is full and thorough,
says:
If lie docs not die the victim of his
appetite he will cause his country
more trouble, more excitement and
more bloodshed than any man who
has lived on this continent. In every
position he tilled in the army he gave
convincing proof of his despotic char
acteristics in the unrelenting bitter
ness he exhibited towards rivals. He
could neither brook control nor rival
ry, and thwarted in either became
unmanageable to such an extent as
to excite alarm in Washington.
A Florida man wants to know why
we don't keep up with the Beecher
trial. Well, the truth is, Aunt Har
riet Beecher Stowe is a subscriber to
the Alines, and we don’t want her to

self-complacent rake Henrv Ward is.

Atlanta, Feb. 22,1871.
The great day is over. Tlxe people
here did not show by their demon
i stratlons that they wore at all glad
' that George Washington ever exist
j ed. Of course, the banks closed, but
there was little that occurred to mark
the day at all extraordinary. Two of
the military companies pranced
uround a little. It seems strange that
! the people should let such a day pass
Lo quietly. Under similar cireum
j stances almost any other nation
I would make it a day of public rejoie
j ing and festivity. Much good can be
! made to result from a well regulated
! public holiday. A day that reminds
a ]>eople of better times that have
gone, ns does the 22d, may lie made
useful in inspiring a love for the pur
ity and honesty which once marked
the Government. It carries us back
to the “good old days,” and almost
invariably causes a longing for their
return.
The city is as busy and bustling as
ever. New buildings are going up in
all parts of it. There is a constant
increase in number and variety of
manufactories. It is probable that
Messrs. J. J. Taylor & Cos., of Balti
more, will soon establish a large bil
liard table factory in this city. They
seem confident that such an institu
tion would ]>uy. If erected, it will bo
the only factory of the kind in the
South.
The Legislature is doing about as
much as usual. It must be very un
pleasant for these representatives of
i the people to continually hear coin-
I plaints of their tardiness, but it does
j seem that they might expedite mat
! tors a little. The 2Cth is the regular
; time for adjournment. There was
some talk of prolonging the session.
| but the opposition to this movement
i was so strong that at one time it had
! little hope of success, but now it is a
| living fact.
The apprehended trouble about the
Treasury is apt to come to little, after
all. There is more excitement every
where else on the subject than there
is here.
Tostart with, everybody known that
Jack Jones is thoroughly honest, and
is such an old fogy that he would not
steal if a good chance were offered
him. He is strong with the people,
and it will take twenty such reports
as has lxeen made before they will!
weaken on him. The rumors grew j
primarily from a resolution introduc-1
ed by Mr. Kibbee, asking for a com-;
mittee to insjxM't the Treasurer’s]
office. After the committee was ap-1
pointed, rumors fiew all over the j
State exaggerating the whole matter, j
The whole thing resolves itself into
this fact—that Treasurer Jones, under
! a mistake, has i>aid $150,000 for bonds
which had already been paid. The
! committee charge him with nogli
i genoe in this matter, and call upion
• him to resign. Conscious of no wrong,
i he emphatically declines to resign, j
and says he demands an investigation
into tlie management of the Bond (
Committee, which allowed him to pay j
them without warning. There is no 1
' doubt that the blame does not rest
with him, but with previous Legisln-
S tures. Under ordinary circumstances :
: such a state of things might be een- J
, surable, but as the ease now stands,
' the Legislature must ratify the acts
of the Treasurer ; and if the people
had a voice in the matter, they would
do so without hesitation. The trouble
1 is with the bonds Henry Clews had
i for sale on account of the State. As '
: soon as Clews refused to deliver up 1
the bonds he had cancelled, the State
Legislature, or the Bond Committee, j
should have called in the bonds, can- j
celled them, and exchanged them for.
new ones. Instead of doing this, no- j
thing was done, and as a consequence ;
Clews again put them on the market, j
notwithstanding the fact that lie,
while financial agent of the State,,
| had paid them once with Georgia -
money. How was Treasurer Jones
1 to know this fact ? and what protoc
: tion did the Legislature give him ?
The first man who discovered this
j fraud ou tho State was Treasurer
Jones—and he, on learning it, eom
. municated the fact to the Governor.
! The committee have done him only a
j simple act of justice in saying, "ho
is not personally charged with any
fraud, and that they believe him
honest.”
I will write again ou this subject
|as the affair develops itself; at the
| same time I say, hold on to your faith
j in Jack Jones. Occasional.
On the Way.

Editin' Time*: We arrived at this
point late this afternoon, and found
our friends generally in good spir
its over tlie result of yesterday's
municipal election. The Democrats
carried the day—the blacks voting al
most solidly with the Democrats.
The election was quiet and all passed
off serenely. Mine host. Mr. A. J.
Riddle, our old townsman, has at last
struck his talent—while a first-class
artist—he knows “how to keep a ho
tel.’’ You know lam poor, and from
the country -raised on bacon and
greens-and when they placed before
me oysters, birds, fish, milk-toast,
etc.. I became at once dissatisfied and
told the waiter I was raised on deli
cate food and did not like anything
he had placed before me, nothing
would suit, and all the guests said I
was “too airy” for a countryman.
Well, it’s all in a man’s raising.
The merchants here are in much
better condition financially than they
have been for the past four years,
and all look for n fair Spring trade.
