LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION In I’lty Md Mulmrb*. 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.” TilK WIIIW.ER I.IU IUANA I'#X PIUMIHK. 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. ALABAMA VUHS, The Selina Argus is for sale. Maj.
