The Secretary of War lias issued an

very murderous implement.
The Southern Claims Commission
will continue in session uutil the first

ly neod the several amounts due them.
The willingness of the plaintiff, and
the unwillingness of the defendant,
to allow Mrs. Tilton to testify in the
Tilton-Beoehor trial is, perhaps, the
most significant circumstance of tho
trial. It can not but huve its effect
upon the jury as it has upon the pub
lic mind.
So, Mr. O. P. Morton has designs on
the Presidency. The New York Sun
ot Thursday Bays, “letters from Indi
anapolis just received at Washington
convey the information that Mr. Mor
ton avows himself a candidate for
President. Ho does not tolerate the
third term movement, as even a pos
sibility.”
The Comptroller of the Currency

Treasury that the additional amount

The amount previously issued under
act of January 14,1875, was $3,469,000;
total, $4,935,300. Tliis will call for an
additional reduction of $1,173,040 in
the outstanding legal tenders.

This 1b Kentucky’s centennial year.
One hundred years ago Bichard Hen
derson purchased from tho Indians
all Kentucky south of Kentucky river.
Daniel Boone surveyed tho purchase
for him. Boone oomploted tho fort at
Boonsborough, in Madison county;
his wife und daughters came as the
first women to Kentucky, and the
first sermon was preached at the Big
Spring, in Harrodsburg, Mercer
county.
Mn. Charles Nordhoff’s latest let
ter to the New York Herald concern
ing affairs in Louisiana is a strong
picture—a clear mirror of Republican
government in the South. In tho
words of this impartial and able
writer, “a more thoroughly central
ized government Franco did not have
under either Empire.” Louis XIV.
said and who could dispute his
boast?—“l ani the State.” Kellogg,
of Louisiana, might 'have uttered
these words with equal truthfulness.
Hamlet was never in his own imagi
nation more completely a pipe to bo
played upon thnn tho people of Lou
isiana have been in the hands of a
Republican Governor. They have
been as day in tiie hands of the
potter, and the potter has hern the
Governor.
reniiaylvuiiln Ku-klux.
How different is the proposed set
tlement between tho miners and tho
owners of the coal regions, than one
that would have been proposed un
der a similar stato of things at the
South. There tho authorities are
begging the miners to desist their
depredations on private property and
human life, while here they would
have been labeled Ku-klux, and given
a through ticket, by a drum-head
court, to Sing-Sing for a term of years.
Public Debt.
During the mouth of April the pub
lic debt was reduced two millions.
So the report says. Wo think this is
a taking off of the old debt, but tho
information does not go far enough
to say how much new debt has been
crontod. This is probably one of
Grant's "unloading” processes. Givo
the South more money, and the pub
lic debt will become less burdensome,
for they will then have the facilities
to make money to meet the exacting
demands of tho Government.
The Sharkey rase.
The case of the escaped murderer,
Sharkey, promises to give the Gov
ernment some trouble before tho
stern hand of a United States Marshal
lays violent hold of his person. Ho
murdered in New York, but escaped
to Cuba. His whereabouts were as
certained, and the government de
tective is trying to get at him. Tho
Government, has made no demand for
him, for the reason that the United
States and Spain have no extradition
treaty. Mr. Fish, the American Min
ister at Madrid, declines to ask his
delivery to the detectives for the
above reason, and tho further one,
that it would give the Spanish au
thorities the right to ask for the
many Cubans and Spaniards who are
in this country, having fled from cap
ital punishment in Spain.
scarcity of Mime}’.
Hon. W. D. Kelly, member of Con
gress, who has bewi traveling through
tho South, mode, upon His return,
this very sensible and ontlroly true
remark: “That his experience from
the visit to the commercial cities of
the South is that tho financial legis
lation of the Forty-third Congress is
rapidly driving the South toward in
solvency, Is retarding its prosperity,
and will prevent oil substantial re
construction.”
In the remark will be found the
unvarnished truth. Independent of
tho political aspect of the legislation
of the Forty-third Congress and all
other Congresses since the war, the
financial policy pursued by them lias
Indeed and in fact retarded the pros
perity and driven our peoplo into
bankruptcy.
There Is no money at tho South.
There is, of course, a nominal sum in
the banks, but that cannot be readi
ed, by reason of the uncertainty of
law and of legislation. There ought
to be any quantity of money here.
The exports of tho Government to
foreign lands are composed of three- j
fifths of Southern productions exclu
sively. Money commands in the
South almost a fabulous, and surely
a ruinous, rate of interest. The rea
son of this is to be found in the fact
tlmt tho commodity called money is
scarce, and that by ull niios of politi
cal economy tho price of money is
regulated by the law of supply and
demand. Hundreds of farmers, mer
chants and others can give undoubted
security in the shape of unencum
bered lands, but they cannot realizo
money upon land at living rates. In
some instances they can borrow the
money, but they want it cheap, and
at sucli a rate that their investment
will bo remunerative.
There is money enougli in tho
North to suit the great head centres, 1
but the Booth stands in need of it.
There is not as much to-day in circu
lation as there was ten years ago,
while the necessities of the people,
made so by the industrial progress of
the country, require a greater amount,
just as much as tho world is growing
more populous each year, and the
consequent increase in the demand
for provisions and other articles with
which to supply the wants of the peo
ple. Fifty years ago the United !
States did not consume as much ba
con and corn as it does to-day. Why
is it that they do not require more
money ? Tho policy of tho Govern
ment is to work in harmony with tho
money centres and allow them to
control the people, and thus the ad
ministration is to bo sustained.
V lllniliimliitfil ImmlKraiil.
An “Immigrant” writes as follows:
“For the sake of humanity, stop
telling of tiie immigrants California
is in need of. Two-thirds of
those who are here will go back East
as soon as they can get money to pay
their fare. They cun’t get anything
to do hero.” San Francisco Morning
Call.
Such opinions as the above are not
confined to California, but from
everywhere in tiie vast West comes
the cry of disappointment and chag
rin. When the immigrant first lands
in Castle Garden, tho allurements of
the’NVest are held up to his gaze on
every occasion. He Is taught to be
lieve that to “go West” is the acme
of human greatness, and that there
wealth is made in one year that out
shines the riches of Golconda. For
fear that some poor immigrant might
attempt to better his condition by
coming South, they are told in glow
ing language of tho West, ami in the
same breath are prejudiced against
the South, tier people and iter insti
tutions. But for this Castle Garden
swindle and humbug, to-day hun
dreds und thousands of Irish, Ger
man, Swiss and English immigrants
would he living in prosperity among
us. Here wo can offer them cheap
lands on the most reasonable terms;
here we can respect their Caucasian
blood, and see them rise in wealth
and social relations, without a preju
dice.
This visionary idea of the “great
West” is not confined to the immi
grant, but among our own people we
I see occasional instances of men who
I long for its borders. They foolishly
imagine that out there money grows
on trees and is to be had for the
gathering. Whenever we hear from
one that tins gone, hi3 expressed wish
is to get enougli money to pay his
passage back to Georgia. Those that
are fortunate enougli to be able to
ret urn, say we are far better off here
than in the West.
No, if tiie people of Georgia and
Alabama will be satisfied to undergo
tho same privations at home that
they are willing to encounter in the
West, they can make more and pros
per greater. The great trouble here
is that men become disheartened,
lose their property, and are unwill
ing to regain it by hard labor. If
those who are so situated will only
make up their minds to leave the
cities, go to the rural districts, and
there follow the plow, aud practice
rigid economy, the time will not be
far distant when they can stand fort h
independent, and the country at
large be far more prosperous.

; In ordor that a community may bo

dustrious, frugal, sober, moral and
punctual in paying all debts due from
ono to another. Obligations at home
must be regarded—must be discharged
us well as those abroad. Tills must lie
done before one neighbor can have
confidence in another.
To Insuro prosperity- -to promote
and foster the cause of religion .and
education—to establish deeply aud
firmly a high cstimato of honor, in
tegrity and punctuality in the hearts
of the people—to cultivate the true
spirit of confidence, neighborhood
obligations must, and should be per
formed according to agreement. If
this cannot be done, satisfaction from
the debtor to the creditor should be
made. A settlement should tie ef
fected in some way, and it should bo
punctually observed. It should not.
be adjudicated by any court of jus
tice, but settled according to agree
ment. This can be done in cases
| where men are willing to do right.
Doing and acting right and honora
ble will supersede the necessity of
any appeal whatever to the exemp
tions of bankruptcy and homesteads.
In ante-bellum times we had a more
solid foundation for credit—a better
guarantee for paying debts than we
have now. Then, we had a responsi
bility and a law by which men could
bo forced to pay their debts; but now,
that law is very liberally modified,
and affords a more' extensive shelter
for the debtor. Then, wo were taught
to regard our obligations ; but now,
we can boast of a little honor no re
sponsibility, because tho law lias es
tablished exemptions which vitiate
tho honor and destroy the responsi-
I bility.
It is not our purpose to discuss the
merits of this law, or its necessity for
tho protection of the debtor to the
detriment of the creditor. It is a law
—ono ol the constituents of our State
Constitution, and must remain as it
is until changed by the power which
established it. But for the present
wo will attempt an examination of its
effects upon the country, and endeav
or to trace them to their natural and
j legitimate causes.
During tho late war we had several
classes of patriots, warriors and
statesmen. There were some who
boldly and voluntarily went to the
“front”and fought valiantly for their
homos and firesides, whilst others re
mained at home anil speculated upon
! the necessities of the people. The
| former, covered with glory, died in
| defence of their country, tilling hon
orable graves ; tiie latter yet survive,
having filled their pockets. Tho one
left liis family in want; the other sup
ported his by extortion, practiced
upon the wives and children of our
beloved and heroic soldiers. Those
are embalmed In the hearts of their
countrymen ; these are the models of
excellence, and now control the coun
try. These are the men who claim
themselves as public benefactors, and
who think now that they are worthy
to he emulated. The world is com
posed of u great many kinds of men, ;
and every one has his part in creation
to perform. The machinery of gov
ernment is wonderfully constructed,
and sometimes becomes complicated
j and difficult to manage. There are
numerous wheels to be turned on tho
| principle of “awheel withina wheel.”
j This science is very familiar to t hese
] gentlemen, and they can soon adjust
j any derangement whatever that may
I take place. They are always ready
| to do good;?! for their country.
At tiie close of this bloody struggle
! we had different kinds of soldiers.
| The first class never did own a single
foot of land, or a negro; the second
| left a good living at home when they
| went to the war, and had nothing to
| live upon when they returned; the
third constitute the immortal Home
I Guards, who made fortunes while at
j tending to the wants of the soldiers’
| wives and children. They stood by
the machine, turned tiie crank, and
[made every wheel “run within a
(wheel." These benefactors hod a
I good living in hand at the surrender,
and did not much feel the effects of
emancipation. They had a nest egg,
and by a fortunate process of incuba
tion, they hatched a numerous brood,
which to-day is preying upon t he very
vitals of the country. They look with
admiration upon their ridifieation,
and smile with parental fondness
| upon their fledgelings. These Home
i Guards can now scratch for thern-
I selves, and crow with a full and well
j stuffed craw. They are fat: and their
plumage beautiful and singularly va
riegated. They look with disdain
upon those who have to scratch fora
J living in a destitute barnyard, and
j wonder why every man has not suc
i cecdod like themselves. They are
called sharpers of great financial abil
-1 ity, because they accumulated for
tunes during and since the war.
These gentlemen were sharp in keep
ing out of the war. Sharpers in prey
ing upon the defenceless at home,
and sharpest for praying for a contin
uance of the war. When tho war
closed, they thought that they were
forever ruined. There were then no
more widows soldiers’ wives and
children to be taken care of—and
they really believed themselves non
oviparous; that they never could
hatch another brood; that they would
forever cease to lay, crow and cackle.
But they yet live, crow, cackle and
strut. We have a use for these men,
because they have the public grind
stone. They will grind your ax as
keeu as a razor, and make you turn
while they grind. A sharp ax cuts
better than a dull one; but the great
difficulty about this grind-stone is,
that after turning for t he grinder you
are so fatigued that you cannot cut;
; you are too tin*! to do a good day’s
; work. The ax is so keen and sharp,
goes so deep into the wood that you
I cannot pull it out and make your
I licks fast. This stone is the philoso
j pher’a stone. It moves the world,
grinds the ax, gives employment to
j tho poor, aud really Is the only per
potual motion on earth. It grinds
for us day and night. It nover ecasos
to do our grinding. It will revolve
forever. Epaminondas.
TUr- l.oii(lon HinmlnrU on the Houlli.
It will do the hearts of Southerners
good to read tho following from the
leading Conservative journal of Eng
land, the London Standard:
“Tho result of their government
and legislation during ten years of
l>eaco is that, in the opinion not of
hot-head Creoles or fauutlc Caroli
nians, but of calm Virginian Eng
lishmen, tho feeling of the South is
more bitter, more resentful to-day
than it was this day ten years ago.
“No one who remembers the facts
can wonder at the result. The pro
tracted imprisonment of President
Davis, tho wanton indignities aud
cruelties inflicted on tho chief of a
great people, could not but embitter
and exasperate their feelings. The
robbery of General Lee's family (for
robbery it is by Federal law! was a
piece of mean and paltry spite, which
would do more harm than graver and
more real wrongs. But of public
wrongs the worst and gravest there
have been enougli to madden uuy j
people once accustomed to liberty. i
Not only lias equality been given to !
tho negro, but his heel has been set ;
on the neck of tile white man. No
justice has been obtainable against
negro criminals, while negroes, illit
erate, ignorant, insolent, have been
appointed to magistracies once filled
by the foremost gentlemen of tho
South. Butlers, camp-followers, elec
tioneered, all the tag-rag and bobtail
of tiie Radical party have been sent
to govern States in which not a hun
dred men who can read and write are
Radicals. They have grown rich on
the plunder of a c'ountry wasted by
war and ruined by emancipation.
They have encouraged the negro to j
idle and steal, so that lands cannot
be cultivated; and then have sold
these lands to pay the enormous tax
es required by their financial extrav
agances. They have incurred gigan
tic debts, and stolen the entire pro
ceeds. And they are upheld in power
while doing these tilings, by Federal
bayonets, a fact which makes lien
oral Grant and his supporters their j
accomplices in the fullest sense ol'
the word. The South has been first
devastated by the war; thou robbed:
by uncompensated emancipation and ;
by the confiscation of the State debt,
and then ruined by the Idleness to I
which the negroes were encouraged :
and lastly crippled in all her efforts !
to recover herself by a fraudulent
administration, a gigantic taxation,
and systematic misgovern ment, Stic I
is almost as poor to-day as she was in
1865; whereas, if left to herself, she
I would long ago have repaired the J
ravages of war, and recovered morel
than the wealth she possessed in 1860.
A more complete censure uri the gov-:
ernment and legislation of the last;
ten years than her present condition
affords it is impossible to imagine.
Happily, it would seem that the tide
j has turned. Tho Conservative reac-
I tion is still in progress, and we may
j hope next year for a House of Repre
sentatives which will arrest Federal
interference, and in two years more
for a Senate and a President who will
do their best to repuir the crimes and
follies of the last ten years. But we
shall none of us live to see the traces
of those crimes and follies wiped out.
Five years of peace and self-govern
ment might have effaced the traces
of Sherman's savagery and Sheri
dan’s havoc; fifty years will not undo
tiie work of the "carpet-baggers”
and adventurers whom tho Radicals
have set over tiie South, or remove
the feelings which their rule has en
gendered iu the heart of a proud, a
free, a self-respecting people, who
| have inherited English Ideas and an
| English spirit with their English
blood.
THE BUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
! unusual importance to the events and develop-

I The number of men independent in politics is
j increasing, aud the Weekly Sun is their paper
! . specially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
| dictation, contending for principle, ami lor the
! election of the beat men. It exposed the corrup
j tiou that disgraces the country and threatens the
{ overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
' fear of knaves, am! seeks no favors from their
' supporters.
The markets of every kind aud tlm fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
and printing, we are u>t aide to make auy dis-
I count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
■ postage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
1 cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Hun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for on** year.
We have no traveling agents.
