The people of the South hoped and
belioYed that the LoglMaturo of Lou
is Luna would not disgrace theinsolvoa
by any sort of u comproint.j' w it h the
Kellogg government abort of u com
plete recognition of tho Democratic
members and the resignation of Kel
logg. But it seems that u few j .oliti
elans, who love office more than their
country, or tho vindication of tlieir
people and party, have entered into
an arrangement by which all differ
ences huve been settled as far as the
present government of that State Is
concerned. The terms of the com
promise admit the Democratic party
of Louisiana wrong, and if such was
a fact, they should have done so long
ago; and If it was not true, then no
offer of compromise should have been
listened to. Who eve. heard of com
promising a fraud V Kellogg was
either there by fraud, or he was fairly
elected. The compromise accepts
Kellogg as Governor, and does not
require that the Democratic organi
zation made by Wiltz shall stand.
The only thing the Conservatives got
by thojirrangement is a few members
of the Legislature, and the right to
protest against the interference of tho
military when they first organized.
We wonder that Kellogg allowed
them this much; and, as it js a kind
of slur on the Administration, we
hope that Grant will order Kellogg
to back down from tho terms of lhe
compromise. The Democrats have
gone back on themselves and tlieir
party, and Kellogg has gone back on
Grant.
I'HiiHllrul.
The telegrams from Raleigh tell us
that the House of the North Carolina
Legislature is contemplating the ex
pulsion of a member because lie does
not believe In the existence of a Ood.
Wo hope, fertile honor of that body,
that no such measure is seriously
proposed. It is for ecclesiastical
councils to purge themselves of here
tics; but for a Democratic body in a
Southern State to erect a religious
test, is simply to Invite political enor
mities from other sources.
Let freedom of religious thought lie
no “pent, up Utica,” no matter hoy
much that opinion may differ from
conservative ideas and the logic of
our day and generation. I/it, the
plans of religious differences lie as
broad as tho Universe holding men
responsible only for tlieir art*.
“For we are, best of all, list to men's
principles by what they do." -John Stuart
John Stuart Mill was atheistic;
.Prof. Tyndall, Prof. Huxley, Charles
Darwin, and other eminent andother
wiee useful citizens in Europe and in
this country are strongly tinctured
with atheism; and while its increase
und tho respectability of its connec
tions are matters greatly to be de
plored, the day has long since passed
when tho public souso will tolerate
sueh a course of dealing with t he evil,
os is proposed by some fanatical and
indiscreet conservators of public mor
als In the North Carolina legisla
ture. Such a course smacks more of
pious Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts than of tho “uncivilized South."
Farewell Pincli.
All the vain hopes of P. G. H. T.
Pinchbaek, colored U. K. Senator from
Louisiana, have passed, and to-day
he Is nothing more than another ne
gro. The squabble over his admis
sion is ended, for Morton and his ig
nominious crew of pirates and car
pet-baggers wore signally defeated iu
the attempt to seat Pinch. The
chances of Pinchbeck's getting about
twenty thousand dollars pay for
hanging about the Capitol at one
time were In the ascendency, but now
they have dwindled into nothing, and
his seat in Congress has grown beau
tifully less.
No; Pinch does not stay about
Washington any longer, and let this
experience learn you the sad lesson,
t hat as long as the party at Washing
ton could uso your race in Louisiana,
through you, they did so, and now
when the compromise in that State
has been effected, you are turned out
to graze. The best thing Pinch can
do is to got a good razor and strap
and go hack to his business of barter
ing. He is better lifted for that than
anything else, and will probably meet
with better success than lie has ns a
statesman.
The award in gold coin of over
$197,000, made by the late British and
American Mixed Commission to Au
gustus R. McDonald, a citizen of
Great, Britain, but for some years
past a resident, of Louisville, Ky\,
has been paid by our government to
Henry Howard. Esq., agent of the
government of Her Britannic Maj
esty, and by him to McDonald. This
claim was brought for losses sustain
ed in the burning of cotton during
the late civil war, and was the second
largest claim adjudicated by the late
Mixed Commission. An idea of its
magnitude may be given by the state
ment that ns originally presented it
was for $2,000,000. Five hundred
witnesses were examined, and their
testimony covers 0,000 printed pages
of the record of the Commission.
M. Alexandre Dumas is plaintiff in
a queer case, now before the Paris
eourts. Last year Mme. Marassi-
Susan published a book entitled the
“Return of Christ,” concerning which
Dumas wrote her a flattering letter,
in which he said much of Christian- 1
tty and the relations of religious doc
trines to the people. His letter was
Inserted as a preface to subsequent
editions. He now sues for the sup
pression of this preface and for dam
ages.
Tlllt TREANI HY AFFAIR.
THE ATLANTA HEBAI.D INTERVIEWS THE
TKEASL'UEU.
The Committee lmvo reported, and
their report is against the Treasurer.
They only charge him with $4,000 de
ficit, and say, each and all of them,
that they have an abiding faith in his
honesty, but he Is incompetent, and
therefore call upon him to resign. |
lie declines to do so, and Invites an i
impeachment, saying the Stutu owes
him $4,000 instead of his owing tho
State. His bondsmen are not uneasy,
and tho whole peoplo have faith in
him. The Herald, reports tho follow
ing interview:
This reporter sought Col. .Join s in
his office. Ho found him with his fa
ther, two or three Senators, Colonel
Grieve and one or two other gentle
men, surrounded hy vouchers and
papers. He announced himself ready
to talk to a newspaper man, and tho
following conversation ensued:
Reporter—“Do you intend to re-!
sign, Col. Jones, in accordance with
the request made by tlie House ?
Col. J. 1 ilo not,sir mortemplmt- ,
icaily, Ido not. I, perhaps, ought to
say nothing about It until I have
heard officially from the House, but
since you have asked me, 1 say that 1
will not resign, but tluit I will fight
it out. I huve boon taught never to
resign in the face of the enemy.
HE WANTS TO HE IMPEACHED.
Reporter—Do you know that it is
rumored that Hon. .lini Turnbull, of
Banks, is going to prepare articles of |
impeachment against you In the
morning ? . , . _
Col. .T. That is precisely what I
want, lam not only ready for ini- |
pcachment, but anxious. That will |
firing tlie whole matter to a proyier i
light. This report of the (committee
does not give all the facts. An im
peachment will give them. Let me
be impeached. 1 shall esteem it a
kindness in Mr. Turnbull to so put
the matter that I can have a fair and
full hearing before the House and be
fore the State. 1 have here my cash
account balanced by detailed figures,
and which shows that tho State owes
mo four thousand dollars instead of
my owing tho State.
ABOUT THOSE DOUBTFUL VOUCHERS.
Reporter —How came it then that
the cornrnltto reported you behind
witli the State '/
Col. J. Why, sir, simply because
from iny serious spoil of sickness,
(being called from iny bed to attend
tliis Investigation) i did not have
time to properly marshal my assets.
And they would riot allow me credit j
for many of those that f did offer, j
Day before yesterday, at t o’clock,
t hey said I was about sC.j,ooo behind.
By yesterday I had absolute vouchers ;
to cover the whole balance. They
said they didn’t have time to examine
them, and lienee couldn't allow them.
I then asked if they would not credit
mo with them. They did not do
this. As an example, 1 will state that
Mr. Grieve offered them as an offset
to the balance against me, a package
of of Western and Atlantic
Railroad change hills, which they re
fused to accept because they didn’t
lmvo time to .count them aiid see if
they were correct. Hence I was re- I
ported as being behind that much, j
I have them now as vouchers. Of j
course they arc good as such because !
Ihe Legislature ordered me to pay
them.
Ho It is with all my vouchers, that!
they refused to allow in my account, i
If the vouchers i hold,are good, lam
not behind. Now, I am prepared to
show to you that every one of them ,
are good. For instance, there is an j
item of $10,954 credited by a cominis- ;
sion, consisting of Hillyor, Conyer & i
Walker, on the W. and A. Railroad
claims. Now, 1 had some little ques
tion about these matters, ns Angler j
refused to pay them, and J asked :
Gov. Smith about them. He told me
to pay them whenever they had his
name across them. I did this, and
have them hero as vouchors, counter
signed by him. Then, there is $9,000
paid to Hill. Irwin & Lester for their
new Code, that the Committee would
not allow me a credit for. Now, the
Legislature passed an act, buying
these books from these gentlemen,
but failed (through negligence) to
make any appropriation for it.
Hence, when they delivered the books
there was no money to pay them with.
I appealed to tho Governor. He told
me to pay them, and he would give
me a warrant as soon as the Legisla
ture made an appropriation, it had
already bought the books. Tho books
had boon delivered; I paid for them,
and here I have the receipts fertile
money. Ho it is with $6,000 paid to
llurke. As to that $'2,041 discount
that they refuse to allow me, here
1 have tlie note of W. T. Wallers and
Moses Taylor taken up, and the dis
count properly attested by W. C. Mor
rill, who effected the loan. The notes
are signed by tho Governor. They
are surely all right.
And so it is with every other item
that they have refused to allow me.
1 can show before any Court of Im
pcachraaut that I am entitled to cred
it on every one of them. My books
are properly kept; my office is in or
der; my accounts are square; and I
am anxious for a full and sweeping
investigation; 1 want to get before a
House that has “time to hear my ease,
and time to give me credit for all in v
vouchers.”
I am not only “ready for the issue,
but anxious for it.”
And here, Col. Jones having been
called away from us, wo retired. If
the Legislature, could gaze into Jack
Jones’clear and honest eyes awhile
we think it would do it good. It
might at any rate give them one pre
mise on which to roach a proper con
clusion. It would certainly touch
them, if they do not know it, that he
is honest.
Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, of Mus
cogee, is one of the rising men of the
State. He was elected to the Legis
laturo in 1868, when but little over 21
years of ago. During the stormy
times of the few years following, lie
demonstrated pluck, energy and tal
ent, and even then commanded at
tention from the strongest men of
the State. Again in 1874 lie was
elected to the same position, and for
the last forty days of Legislative
duty r has fully realized all his friends
expected of him. Without special
reference to his whole legislative
career, wo can say that his speech on
the 19th instant, in the House, on the
bill to make the juries judge of tlie
law and facts, placed him in the
foremost rank of legislators; and at
the same time exhibited a character
as oue of tho soundest and ablest
lawyers of the State. We are glad to
see that tho people of Muscogee
county are alive to the propriety of
putting forward her young men of
talent, Mr. Grimes will make his
mark.— Atlanta Herald.
