THE NTATE TIKiM HY.
The Hturtllng report of tin- com
mittee of tlio Legislature to invent!,
gate the affairs of the Treasurer's;
office, has turned out to be it grof |
nlandei' on an honorable old man.
It is well for him that ull the days of
his life ho has been honest, and i
steadily built for himself a character |
for unimpeachable integrity; other-;
wise some people in Georgia or out
of it might have believed tho report
of the committee. As it now is, not
a paper In the State has spoken on
this charge except to extol Jack
Jones, and to express an earnest be
lief in his ability to vindicate him
self; and from all sections of the
.State the people have come to his
rescue. It must be a source of great
pride to him to feel that in an hour
fruughl with such serious attempts
Hguikrtfc his character, that public
opinion was unanimously stayed
until ho could be heard from. He
has been heard from in such stento
rian tones, that the committee have
asked to again investigate, as “they
might be able to clear up. ” This is
certainly a nice state of things, that
a Legislative committee should thus
attempt to Injure a man without the
proof to sustain their report. This
failing on the part of his aeeusers
may- have been occasioned by tho
fact that Col. Jones absolutely de
clined oven to hear to a proposition
to resign, but demanded uu impeach
ment* and u committee to investigate
the conduct of that committee.
Now that no charge rests against
liiin, except the one' timt fr om his
nogligonco, certain bonds were paid
twice, how far is that charge .sustain
ed and by whom? First, there is no
evidence they were paid twice;
second, if they were paid twice, Col. ;
Jones did not and could not have had
any notice of the prior payment;!
third, if paid twice, the payment was
rati (led by the Governor one year ago. |
Tho evidence tiiat the committe in
troduces to show that they were paid
twice, is u letter from Bullock to that
effect. Bullock was pushed up
by the State to show what
lie did with the people’s money, and,
us an excuse, suld certain bonds were
paid. It is a nice state of things when
the letter of a dishonest Bullock, flee
ing from justice, is to be taken against
the assertions of an honest man.
Hueli a state, of tilings is disgraceful,
and if the committee could not have
found any other evidence, they ought
to have been ashamed to array the
Treasurer of Georgia on such a thin
document as Bullock's and Clews’
letters.
The other charge of carelessness we
know nothing of. But we do know
one t iling that it is monstrous to ad
vance tho principle that mere care
lexsuees in book-keeping constitutes
u sufficient reason lo ask a man to
resign, thereby implying more, if
he is not a defaulter tho request
never should have been made, for no
cause for Ills resignation existed, if
it was a legal question whether such
vouchers as ho produced should be
received, then the committee tram
pled on an honest man in asking his
resignation. But we are informed
by a legal power in the land that Ills
vouchers are legal and correct, and
tliut his hooks ure in order. His
sickness at home at the time of the
resolution appointing a committee
rendered it necessary that sonic
things should bo out of order, for the
.State did not give hiiu'suflleieiit cler
ical aid.
As we get along a little further in
the matter, it may be proper to ask
why H. T. Kimball is again in Atlan
ta, undisturbed, when the Bond Com
mittee preferred such charges against
him, when he left Atlanta once i>e
tweon two suns? Has it ever occur
red to our wise committee that Kim
ball represented Clews, and that to
get Jones out of office would be a good
thiug, for Jones, according to Clews,
“is the most hitter, obstinate, and de
termined foe he had ever encounter
ed.”
This committee has gone too far,
and, we fear, allowed themselves used
to draw ehesnuts out of the Are. They
have, by a sweeping report, sought to
disgrace a man who has grown grey
in the service of the State, and it will
take even an hundred times stronger
evidence than they have adduced to
shako the confidence of the people in
the strict integrity of “honest Jack
Jones.”
In pursuance of an act of Con
gress, portraits Of all the Secretaries
of War, since the formation of the
Government, have been painted and
arranged in chronological order in
the office of the War Department at
Washington. To these were added,
a few days ago, the portrait of Hon.
Jefferson Davis, who was Secretary
of War under President Pierce. It is
spoken of as an admirable likeness.
The Macon, Ga. Messenger is glad
to hear from Washington, and so are
we, that the statement that General
Gerdau had written, or intended to
write Wendell Phillips a letter, in
viting him to visit the South, is un
true. Let tho cowardly slanderer
stay where he is. He can Invent
enough lies about us without moving
out of his own yard.
It is known only by the intimate
iriends of Senator Johnson that when
he left for Washington via Green
ville, he carried with him a certain
trunk plethoric with public docu
ments, memoranda and correspond
©ace that is destined to be the Pan
dora’s box of Radicalism. When that
trunk is opened for use even hope
will not remain behind.
FAI.HK I**t!KM.
It is remarked by that unfortunate j
and eccentric genius, Charles Caleb |
Colton, In his compact but compre
hensive little work entitled “Locon,”
that the real motives of our actions,
like the real pipes of an organ, are
usually concealed, while the gilded
and hollow pretexts are pompously
placed in front for the show. We
i were forcibly reminded of this saying
1 when we rend the telegraphic account
of the opening speech of Gen. Tracy
j for the defence in tho Beecher ease.
Now, wo ure firmly persuaded that
her ought to have a fair trial,
und as far as is consistent with our
natures, there ought to be a suspen
sion of opinion until he bus been
fully heard. We are equally certain,
however, that no false Issues should
l be raised In his favor; and we think
such indiscretions are but damaging
to his cause. Gen. Tracy, his counsel,
in his opening speech, is reported as
: having referred to Beecher’s promi
nence as a supporter of the Union at
the commencement of the war, which
it was claimed had "won for him the
admiration of the world.” Now for
tin- life of us, wo are unable to see
how Beecher’s fidelity to the Union
of tho Stales, can possibly illustrate
the issue as to whether lie has been
faithful to his union with Mrs.
i needier. He is Northern born and
reared was a consistent anti-slavery
man until its overthrow and it can
safely be denied that the "world”
either owed, or li ns lavished upon
him, any “admiration” for his course
in adhering to that power, In whose
success he had reason to think he
would enjoy the full fruition of his
life-long hopes and sentiments.
His counsel is also credited with
saying that one of Beecher’s striking
characteristics was his “profound and
earnest Interest in young men.’' This,
we submit, is equally foreign to the
issue whether or not he had exhibited
an intemperate attachment and pre
dilection for middle-agerl women, llie
wires of his friends.
It is also said that counsel related
tho history of Tilton, and dwelt upon
his being a deist, &o.; all of which,
when seriously urged by Beecher’s
side, is a. kind of petitio prindj/ii,
resolving itself into this; We are put
upon our defence by a blasphemous
and ungrateful wretch, and we ask
the public to forget the blow we have
given to cease to calculate its force
against public decency and order—for
the purpose of considering the deserts
of him upon whom the main power
was expended.
No; Beecher must stand or fail
upon the facts, and neither ids war
record acceptable from a Northern
standpoint—his splendid.abilities, his
broad philanthropy, nor the infamy
of his accuser, can avert his inev
itable doom, if, after a full and fair
Investigation, the Natlinn of outraged
public justice can truthfully point at
him the linger, exclaiming, “Thou
art the man!”

A joticiai, decision was rendered in
Now York on Wednesday that touch
es a question arising out of the gas
monopolies t<> which our large cities
are subjected. The defendant resist
ed tlie payment of a demand for gas
furnished him ou the ground that he
was assessed at a higher rate than
that used in making the bills of per
sons residing in districts where the
plaintiffs were obligod to compete
witli another corporation employed
in the same business. The decision
was practically in favor of the defen
dant, a judgment being given for the
amount of gas consumed at rates cor
responding with those charged in the
other districts. The ease is to be ap
pealed, but the decision involves a
principle which was well stated by
the Judge, who said that a public
corporation having large and valua
ble chartered privileges should ad
minister its affairs on the broadest
basis of equity and good conscience.
Incidentally it also shows that where
the company encountered opposition i
it was ready enough to reduce its j
rates of charge.
Thk Department is bankrupt, j
Scarcely a dollar remains to its credit,
in the Federal Treasury. All the up-!
proprintions for the fiscal year ending !
June 30, 1873, have been consumed in
eight months a goodly portion of it
for election purposes last fall. Other
departments may turn up minus for
the same reason. Hence the demand
for increased Federal taxes.
A note from one of the hardest
working Tennessee Congressmen to
the editor of the Nashville Union
and American says: “I think the tar
iff bill will pass. lam now inclined
to believe that the ’force’ or ‘Third
Term’ bill will fail. If un attempt
should bo made to force its passage,
one or more of the appropriation
bills will probably fail; and then will
follow an extra session.
Gen. Schenek seems not bo popu
lar with the administration, for not
withstanding he has written some
thing to please Grant, in the shape
of an essay on "Poker,” yet he is to
be recalled, and Charles Francis
Adams sent abroad in his place.
The Herald says: “Mr. Leroy
Gantt, a pert young writer, runs ii
paper at Lexington, under the caves
of the railroad water-tank. This cir
cumstance has led Mr. Christy, of the
Athens Watchman, glorying in the
magnificence of his own position, to
allude to the paper as ‘The Water-
Tank Gazette. To which the viva
cious Gantt replies : ‘I considered for
along time as to whether 1 would
run my paper by a water-tank or a i
whisky faucet. But having seen Mr. :
Christy fail after trying the latter, 1 <
determined to try the former. ’ Which
Is quite neat in young Gantt. If in
keeps up to this mark in- may come
to Atlanta when he dies.” The only
object ion we have to the foregoing is
that Leroy will stop writing If there
is any prospect of being sent to At
lanta’ for it,
We expected it, and are not shocked
that n Chieugo woman has offered
$20,000 for the English book which
that Louisville lawyer holds. She
says she doesn’t want to read it. but
somehow she’d like to have it in her
library.”

Whereas, It is desirable to adjust
the dlflleultl. s growing out of the
general election in this State, in 1872,
the action of tho Returning Board in
declaring and promulgating the re
sults of the general election in the
in until of November lust, and the or
ganization of the House of Repivsen
tat Ives on the 4th day of January last,
I such adjustment being deemed neces
sary to the re-establishment of peace
anil order in the State;
Now, therefore, tho undersigned,
members of the Conservative party,
claiming to have boon elected mem-1
hers of the House of Representatives, j
and that their certificates of election i
have been illegally withheld by the !
Returning Board, hereby severally
agree to submit their claims to seats
in the House of Representatives to
tiie award and arbitrament of George
I’. Hoar, Win. A. Wheeler, Win. I’.
i Frye and Sam S. Marshall, members
of the Congressional Committee, now
in New Orleans, who are hereby au
thorized to examine and determine
the same upon the equities of the sev
eral cases; and, when sttelt award
shall be made, we hereby severally
agree to abide by the suine;
And such of us uh may become
members of the House of Represen
tatives, under this arrangement,
hereby severally agree lo sustain by
our influence and votes the joint res
olution hereinafter set forth;
And the undersigned, claiming to
have been elected Senators from the
Highlit and Twenty-Second Senato
rial Districts, hereby agree to submit
.their claims to tho foregoing award
and arbitrament, and in all resjieets
to abide the results of the same;
And the undersigned, holding cer
tificates of election from the Return
ing Hoard, hereby severally agree
that upon the coming in of the award |
of tiie foregoing arbitrators they
will, when the same shall have Isven |
ratified by the report of the Commit-;
tee on Elections and qualifications of
the body in session at tiie State;
House clalmiug to be tiie House of I
Representatives, attend the sitting of
the said House for the purpose of
adopting said report if said report
shall be adopted, and the members
embraced in the foregoing report
shall be seated, then the undersigned
severally agree that immediately
upon the adoption of said report they
will vote for the following resolu
tions :
Whereas, doubts have existed, ami
still exist, us to the legal results of
the election in this State in Novem
ber, 1872; and
Whereas, it is alleged, and by a
large portion of this State believed,
thut (lie result of the election of
members of the House of Representa
tives, and for Treasurer, in Novem
ber last, was illegally determined
and promulgated by llie Returning
Board; and
Whereas, these doubts, allegations
and beliefs have tended greatly to
disturb tho public mind, and unset
tle confidence, and injuriously to
affect the material interests of the
State; and
Whereas, it is deemed necessary to
the welfare of the State, that an ad
justment of the foregoing difficulties
stiould be effected; therefore, be it j
hereby
Resolved by tiie General Assembly
of the State of Louisiana, That said
(leneral Assembly hereby declares its
acquiescence in the existing State
Government established in 1872,
known as the Kellogg Government,
including tho Senate, which is now
and has been in session at the State
House, and that, it will not seek to
question by impeachment the offlciul
acts of the Governor from time to
time since said establishment; and
tiiat, henceforth it will accord to said
Governor all necessary and legitimate
support in maintaining the laws, and
in advancing the peace and prosper
ity of tiie people of this State, and
that the House of Representatives as
to its members as constituted under
the awards of George F. Hoar, Wil
liam A. Wheeler, William I’. Frye,
and Samuel S. Marshall shall remain
without change, except by resignation
or death of members, until anew gen
eral ejection ; an 1 that the Senate as
herein recognized, shall also remain
unchanged, except so far as thatiiody
may itself make changes ou contests.
The above is the compromise made
between the Democrats and Republi
cans, and adopted by the Democrats
in caucus, by a vote of 39 in favor of
and 27 against, Friday, February, sth,
1875. From the New Orleans papers
we learn 11 is entirely unsatisfactory
in every particular, und that the peo
ple throughout the State are holding
mass meetings repudiating tiie action
of these members, and calling upon
them to resign.
We are glad to see tiiat the people
I are true to themselves, and will not
I quietly consent to be sold by tiie po-
I litical demagogues of the State. The
[ compromise was drawn by a Radical!
| member of the Congressional hives-1
: ligating Committee, and is full of i
j fraud, and dictated by our enemies, j
j Tho people of Louisiana are not whip-.
ped, and are not willing to yield ae- ;
j qitiesenea to the Kellogg usurpation.
This little game of men calling them
selves Democrats will not irss mus
ter in the eyes of the honest Democ
racy of Louisiana. Put them down
or out.
