DAILY TIMES. ColumbuH, <*ll.* FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1875. <. If. \vn.i i i'iv - The T(MI Oil* In iu Gunbjr's Building (up-stairs), on Hi. Clair street. . LAKGEST DAILY CIRCULATION In (Illy nd Wwhnrhs. Tin* lioulninnn ComiiriHiiiM 1 . 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. —The Rome Commercial says corn is selling at sl.lO per bushel; bacon at from 15 to 20 cents per pound, and lard at 18 cents in that section, and still rising.

The death nr Edward Spangler, which occurred Sunday night, February 14th, at the re-ldonco of Ur. Hawuol A. Mudd, near liryantown, Charles county, Md., was announced in the .Sun yesterday.
