HON. JOHN 11. JAMES.
Under the above caption our city
cotemporary (April 7th) publishes In
nonpareil type a biography of Mr. J no.
H. James, banker of Atlanta, Oa.
The natural inference is that said bi
ography must be an advertisement.
Who pays for tills advertisement, and
for what puri>osc was it inserted?
We have a dim recollection that some
one has said, “Modesty, where is thy
blush?” _ ■ _
Gen. Jno. A. Wharton, wiio oom
muded the Hth Texas cavalry and a
brigade under Wheeler, was killed in
Houston, Texas, early in the year
1865, by Maj. Baylor.
A friend hands us the above. Wo
wore mistaken In thinking that the
individual roftsrred to a few days ago
as an official in New Orleans, was the
Oen. Wharton of cavulry fame.
l ari Sehiir/.
He has made no impression on the
laws and Government of the country.
Look in the records of nets done and
things changed or established since
tie has been in public lifo, and do you
find his name. His faculty is critical
and in disquisition; but take, for ex
ample, such a mun as Edmunds, of
Vermont. His work is on every double
page of our post-bellum legislation.
Thera it stands, and such men are the
Senators who are remembered. 1
don’t know what you think about it,
but to my mind that Edmunds Is the
üblost Senator of them all. Cockling
is regarded high by some, but his
faculty is a good deal like Sehurz’s.
That man who is thinking out some
good, or altering something vexa
tious, or moulding the laws which
mould tho times, is the real type of
the Senator, not tho dialectician.- -
[Opinion of Vice-President Wilson.
In spite of the views of Hon. Henry
Wilson, as above expressed, we ad
here to tho opinion that Mr. Hchurz
was the greatest man in the last U. H.
Senate. He combines in an eminent
degree the scholar and the statesman
tried in the school that makes men I
heroes. He Is a man whose individ
uality has been stamped upon two
continents. He Is not only the flnpst
type of our Teutonic population, but
he possesses a mind of the most com
prehensive capacity. A materialist
he may be, but he is none the less a
patriot. He needs no mere local rep
utation. Asa politician, though a
Republican, he is above the petty
malice that seems to animate ids
hyena-like rival, Mr. Edmunds, of
Vermont. Wo honor Mr. Hchurz for
ills great mind and patriotic efforts to
preserve constitutional liberty, and
we respect, him for his integrity of
character. We wish ho could be a
Senator during the remainder of his
life. Being a foreigner, ho is ineligi
ble for tho Presidency, and could not,
therefore, be induced to stultify him
self, as Mr. Blaine seems bent on do
ing.
The Wild loud Tax—A IliiKr Nprrulu-
Hon on Fool.
The Macon Telegraph learns from a
noted land agent that the land agents
are forming companies and combina
tions to nttend the sales in tho several
counties, and purchase, perhaps for a
few mills per acre, all the. most valu
able and available portions of the
timber land which is included in
these wild districts. Having done
this, before the expiration of the year
under which they can be reclaimed,
whole forests will be levelled to the
eurth and denuded of their only val
uable product. Of eourso the owners
will not then desire to repurchase
their possessions, nnd ever after, as
they are valueless for agricultural
purposes, the State must lose all tax
able income from them. Again, in
the mountain regions, in proximity
to the mineral lauds, the work of cut
ting down tho oak timber merelv to
secure the bark, which commands a
high price for tanning purposes, lias
already commenced, and tiie im
mense tracts of wild lands which lie
on the sides and summits of the hills
will soon be stripped of their growth.
Asa result, tho mUioriU ores in that
section can never be doVelo]>od save
in the neighborhood of coal Helds.
Of all the evils bequeathed to us
by tho war, that of monopolies is
the worst. The only advantage that
Georgia possesses over her less fortu
nate sister States is that of her min
eral wealth ami wealth of timber.
Cut down the forests, and you will
cause drouths to curse tho soil. It is
for this reason that the l’rairle States
In tho West foster so highly all enter
prises looking towards tho planting
of forests. It is the greatest question 1
in the agricultural economy of that
IMirt of the Union. Again, in the
mineral districts it is wise for a fur
nace company for the manufacture of
iron to own twice as much woodland
as will be needed for fuel for twenty
years, lu order that the new growth
shall be suitable for use when tho old
trees are all cut down. Tho develop
ment of tho iron product of Georgia
is more necessary than that of the
leather crop.
Germany, with a population of -t-J,-
000,000 souls, graduated 800 physicians
last year, rejecting 108 applicants.
The record of the United States, with
its 40,000,000 population, for the same
year, is 3,000 graduates, aud few, if
any, rejections. Is it strange that
the medical profession is overcrowded
in this country ?
As the Chicago Tribune says of the
Civil Bights bill; We fear that medi
cal diplomas from the colleges in the
United States are “not worth the
parchment they are written upon.”
HIiLAXt.
tin: cost or the mows.
Under the above euptlon the Cin
cinnati JCmpiirrr gives the following
facts, which wo condense:
The salary of the Queen cost pre
cisely the same sum last yenr as Pros
dent Grant cost the United States for
tho some time. That Is to soy, the
revenues derived from tho crown
lands, the hulk of which belongs to
the Queen, reached the sum of £375,-
000 (nearly $1,875,0tw), whilst the civil
list |>ald by tho nation to tho sover
eign, in lieu of the income from the
crown lands, was $385,000.
THE ECONOMY OF THE QUEEN.
Like the crown lands, her personal
appanage, tho Duchy of Lancaster
seems to be growing in a remarkable
manner. In 1805 the sum paid over
to her use, from this source, was £2ti,-
000. It, now reaches £41,000, making
an aecretion in a decade equal to the
salary of the Archbishop of Canter
bury, the largest paid In England.
When the Prince succeeded to it at j
his birth, tiie Income was übout £12,-
000 a year net. In 1809, £03,587; in
1871, £73,000. The incrense steadily
Increases at tho rate of £3,000 a year.
Add to ull these sources of wealth the
savings accumulated by the Queen,
together with £2o,oooayear bequeath
ed to her by tiie eccentric Mr. Neild,
nnd the royal fumily of the future will
be handsomely provided for without
taxing the British tax-payer.
What a commentary the above ex
hibit makes to the corrupt extrava
gance of our “best government the
world ever saw.” What a commenta
ry upon the Salle law of Spain. It
reeulls the adage, “He who governs
least governs best.” Contrast this
exhibit with the conduct of President
Grant, lobbying in his own behalf for
the increase of salaries!
His prodigal extravagance; his sum
mer tours, away from the Capital for
months at a time! Trace the natural
results: We find in an old paper, tho
New' York Tribune, of July 10, ’74, the
following: “But it is not to bo sup
posed that the railway companies
will surrender their jirivileges with
out a struggle, and if they cannot
beat the commissioners in the courts
they will put their money into loeul
polities, witli the same result which
we saw in New York under the old
directory of Erie. The Potter law
makes tho ownership of n certain
number of the members of the Legis
lature as necessary to a railroad com
pany as rolling stock.” From the
example of tho President arose the
"credit MOHIMEH,” and similur en
terprises born of legislative bribery.
What is bribery, its nature, and eon
sequences? If esteemed a necessity,
where is its limit? and where tho lim
it for such necessity? It has sapped
the very foundations of our Govern
ment.

The Next Governor.
All Atlanta correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-,Animal winds up
a late letter with the following spec
ulations on the above subject:
Despite its remoteness, there is no
difficulty in discerning tho outlines
of tiie opposing forces that aro to
form the condition of tiie Gubernato
rial problem. Personality hore ugain
becomes tho pivotal question, save in
tiie case of Mr. John H. James, a
banker of this city, who champions
tho cause of industrial and commer
cial reforms, and will make his light
for the nomination upon tho platform
of “material politics.”
Gen. Colquitt, like Gen. Gnrtrell, is
a resident of this county, and Atlanta
is doubtless the oentreof his strength.
Colquitt, was a genuine soldier, and
when lie led his men in the “hottest
places” that, Leo’s army entered, tho
men knew that Colquitt would stay
as long as they did. With no dis
count of his war record to fear, Col
quitt has the advantage of experience
acquired in his Congressional service
before the war. To these facts, add
that ho is a prominent member of u
large and influential religious body,
and is besides a Granger.
(ion. Gartroll’s strength does not
manifest Itself with so clear an out
line ns that of his competitors. lie
served this Congressional district at
Washington before tho war, and is
well up in the savoir fa ire of politics.
His political and military services
have made him well known through
out the State. like his competitors,
General Gartrell is something in ad-
Vnnco of tiie meridian of life.
I Col. Thomas Hardeman, of Bibb,
| commands a strong and well orgnu-
I ized low-country support. His home
is in Macon, in the center of the State,
from which powerful influences have
latterally radiated in an amazing
manner, proving equal to the task of
capturing the organization of both
branches of tiie Legislature at tiie
late session. Hardeman was a Con
federate officer, and has been chair
man of the State Committee, a posi
tion of great advantage to a politi
cian looking to the Governorship.
Ho is a speaker of reputation, and has
nffable manners.
An unknown quantity in tho Guber
natorial issue is tiie strength of Gov.
Smith, should lie desire re-election,
and a question giving no end of trou
ble to the various aspirants is the
Governor’s wish in the mutter. A
capital Governor, ho is popular, and
retains the able advisers who have
helped him judiciously on tiie road
to fame. It lias been hinted that the
Governor views tiie Federal Senate
i as the goal of a laudable ambition,
| and that lie would not uncondition
ally refuse to be Senator Norwood's
successor.

llmililr Taxation 1 iguat-44’hat 1*
Property?
Moreover, tiie law should affix a
distinct definition to t he word proper
til. Property means value actual,
tangible value that lias location, form
aud essence. It must be a real pres
ence, such ns land, houses, horses,
cattle, plows, carts, wagons, mines,
manufactories, merchandise, silver
and gold, plate, jewelry, and all pos
itive and marketable products. These
or their accredited representatives,
only should be taxed, and not both
prtvperty and symbol.
! Here is a case in point: A farmer
, from ono of t iie lower counties who
had given his note nnd crop lien to a
Macon merchant for advances to en
able him to make his crop, begged off
from t he payment when due, arid ask
ed an extension of time. This was
granted for three years, and all interest
remitted upon the note. The amount
was s2sn.
Recently, tiie holder of tho note be
ing greatly in need of money, pro
posed to take anew obligation for
tico bales of cotton, or $l5O, payable
next fall, from the creditor lie’ had
accommodated and supported with
his own means. This was to be in
full settlement of the obligation. His
answer was a notice in bankruptcy,
though he was the largoHt creditor,
i and nad dealt, thus gently in the
: premises.
Now, whence the justice of requir
ing taxation uponsuch a note, though
It was apparently fully secured by
mortgage lien ?
We repent property—real property
should alone bo subject to taxation,
and not Its mythical representative.

] WHAT THE CRESCENT CITY HAS BECOME.
New Orleans, March 2!).— Uptothe
day of tho adjournment of Congress
the people of Louisiana clung to a
hope that something would bo done
to alleviate their present sufferings.
They hoped against hope that public
opinion would force u recognition of
their rights. But the passage by the
Benute of a resolution indorsing the
President’s course has east tiie labor
ing classes into a pit of gloom. A
long and dull summer is looming up
before them, and already their little
ones are crying for bread. But there
is no work to bo done, and I do not
} exaggerate when 1 state that the
future of New Orleans portends of
danger. The laborer and mechanic
cannot support their families; the
city has abandoned work on tiie
streets; there are but two new houses
building within the city limits, ami
the cotton crop is mostly in, so that
there is no field in winch they can
seek for employment. There is to
be a moeting of mechanics and arti
sans on Monday evening next, and
from the temper of the leaders of the
movement I fear that if speedy re
lief is not afforded, Now Orleans, for
the first time In her existence, may
have a bread riot. The contrast be
tween the social and political eon
ditition of Louisiana and the state of
nature is most striking. Spring bus
qiiened with Its wealth of verdure.
The air is heavy with the perfume of
t.ho orange blossom aud the rose;
tho trees are clad in tiie brightest
green, and away from tiie heart of
the city, where the stillness of dentil
is not broken by the clatter of drays
and carts, myriads of mocking-birds
hold high carnival, gladdening the
ear witli their beautiful song. Hut
in the centreofthis Eden,surrounded
by a smilling nature, move and surge
a restless mass of humanity, driven
to desperation by t he necessities, und
as far as X can see there is no way in
which they can obtain relief. In the
past of New Orleans her working
classes were quiet, sober and indus
trious; they hud ample employment,
arid it was a rare sight to meet on
Irish or German mechanic or laborer
who did not own his house and lot.
Living was always cheap hero: witli
prairies of Texas oiien to us, meat was
to be hod in abundance, and vegeta
bles of the most delicious kind, such
as potatoes, peas, beans, artichokes,
corn (for table use,) tomatoes, etc.,
were raised without any further cul
tivation than the care required by
the different plants in their first
growth. But. all this has been chang
ed. These little homes where the
poor man lived in comparative com
fort belong to the past; 51 per cent
taxes on an assessment, of too per
cent above tiie market value of the
property inis forced tiie poor man to
sacrifice his little proierty and to
seek a home in a pent-up tenement
where disease anil want are his con
stant. companions.
This deplorable state of things is
not eonflned to the working classes.
It is spreading like a cancerous sore
over the face of society. The circle is i
Increasing each day. Families who
once enjoyedevery luxury that wealth
could buy find their means swallowed
up by tho exorbitant demands of
the Government, and their prospects
for advancement in life or even the
hope of an amelioration of their cod
dition utterly blasted by the still in
creasing political demoralization of
the State. The enormous destruction
of property during the war and tiie
material distress suffered by tiie peo
ple did not affect them nearly so
deeply as the slow, remorseless dry
rot caused by the outrageous Govern
ment foisted upon the people hv
Grant. lam almost afraid to men
tion the number of suicides that have
oocured hero within tiie past few
; months. Men of eminent respeeta
i bility have sought release from their
| daily increasing troubles in self
j destruction. There lias hardly pass
! i>d a day forsome time that the com
munity has not been shocked to hear
I of the suicide of some well-known
j citizen.
Meat is selling at 25 and 30 cents a
i pound ; vegetables are equally high.
The first is beyond tiie reach of the
poor, because a single company or
ganized by Radical legislators nave
the monoply of killing cattle. Meat
not slaughtered at the pens of this
company cannot be sold in tho city
| limits, lienee tho citizen is forced to
pay whatever those |>eople choose to
! ask, or lie must do without meat.
I As for vegetables, New Orleans has
always been supplied by gardens
located in tiie rear of the city, hut
these have been destroyed by high
water, the result of imperfect drain
age and the condition of tho river,
which is free to flow upon many por
tions of the State, as the levees are in
a deplorable condition. The drain
age contract is in the hands of tho
Radicals, who collect the drainage
tax with great regularit y and prompt
ness, though they, as yet, have failed
to dredge tho canals or do any part
of tiie work so necessary to protect
the cits from tho encroachments of
“back water.”

Huiklmuiii' imitation from Mu- llmi. l.
T. Helmin' to the State.
Yesterday morning the Hon. A. T.
Melntire, of Thomasville, donated to
the State of Georgia tiie handsome
; sum of $4,030 80. Tills amount was
j paid into the Treasury in cash, and
Mr. Melntire received a receipt in full
j therefor. Mr. Melntire was amem-
I her of tile 42d Congress, and as such
| participated in the benefits of that
; famous act known as tiie “back sala
■ ry grub.” He drew Ids share, amount-
I ing to $3,030 80, and has donated it to
i the State of Georgia. Mr. Melntire
| gave no reason for this unexpected
; donation, that wo are aware of, but
i perhaps he was trying to place his
money where it would do the most
good. If such was his object he suc
ceeded admirably, and the people of
the State will ever remember him
i with gratitude. —Constitution, Vh.
\ [Send him back to Congress. We
. do not forget his manly effort with
j regard to the cotton tax bill. He is
j opposed to monopolies and corrupt
! cliques.- Ell.]
President Grant does a shameless
thing wo mean anew one that of
appointing to office a crowd of repu
diated Congressmen, who meekly did
his bidding in support of the Force
bill. Fourteen ate already provided
for. It is this low and unworthy con
ception of office that is the curse of
this administration, and from this
will its ruin come. The skv has sigus
enough to warn an experienced mar
iner on tiie political sen : but Grant,
enveloped in a cloud of smoke of his
own making, and not all front tobac
co, is stolid and unmoved. This (iris
so far done him good service, but is a
sad dependence in the day of storm.

BATHER POOR RNOOURAOEMENT FOR OER- !
t. AN KMIORANTH WIIO PIIOPOSB TO RF.-|
TURN TO THEIR NATIVE LAND.
Berlin Cf*r. oi tho New York Tribune.
Tiie outward bound steamers to
America carry few steerage passen
gers. Tiie hard times in America ore
driving thousands of German emi
grants lmek to their native country,
und tiie Government reasoning on
these two facts, is taking active meas
ures in the same direction. One or |
the most popular of these is the ar
rest and expulsion of Immigration |
agents. Another, less coercive, hut
more seductive, is announced in a
telegram to tho London papers. This !
is roughly doserllted us a scheme to
sell, on favorable terms to the emi
grating class, largo tracts of the |
crown domains thus thrown open to ,
agricultural and other purposes. But
tiie causes which lie at the bottom of I
tiie German immigration are more;
serious titan any that can bo remedied !
by the sale of a few paltry acres of
Itiiul. No Gorman-American should 1
fancy that in flying from the hard
times in America he will return to
easy times in tiie fatherland, lie
wilt no more find the El Dorado here
in Germany now than he found it
years ago in America. Tiie general
cry of dullness in trade is swelled not!
a little by the voice of Germany. If
wages have been reduced twenty per
cent, in America, they have been re
duced forty per cent’ here; if there'
are hundreds of unemployed men in I
New York, there are thousands in
Berlin.
Last winter this city laid difficulty
in finding street laborers at two tlia- j
lers per day; this winter art indefinite j
number can be had at twenty silbcr
groshen, or onc-third the price. If
the great manufactories in America
make wholesale reductions in wages,
those of Germany make wholesale i
discharges of hands. Hardly a week
passes in which the Tuternationat Oa- \
lette, tiie new American paper here,
does not report such events. The
reason is that it is simply Impossible,;
at any rate of wages, to sustain a
large production; and the concerns 1
find it easier, therefore, to close their
works. There is, in short, almost an
utter prostration of business. The I
National Zeitung, makes a frank con
fession of tile fact, It admits tin- dis
tressing condition of trade in general, j
and especially of the drug in the la- 1
bor market; and draws, on the whole,
a picture which would not encourage
many emigrants to return hither in ,
search <>f fortune. Moral: That tiie
National Zeitang confirms the fact on j
which 1 have insisted, and which was
indeed clear to all but too patriotic
eyes, that the extraordinary business
prosperity that followed the war was
unnatural and could not, endure.
