X. .Hiller oil tUc Cnrrrnry #nr*tlon. The Atlanta Herald contains n re port of an interview with ex-Senntor Miller which merits a more extended notice than can bo Riven in a short, editorial. Df. Miller has long been regarded as one of the ablest men in Georgia, but we have never read any opinions upon the vexed currency question that seem at once so illog ical and mistaken as the opinions set forth by the Herald's reporter us em anating from that distinguished gen tleman. Had the ex-Scnutor began Ids remarks with the very last sen tence, us Campbell commenced his “Pleasures of Hope" with the last verse written, ho would, if he had consistently adberod to it, have ex pressed himself differently. That hist sentence is this; “Tho true doe trine, the honest, doctrine, tho doe trine that, gives Justice to ail men, is the only doctrine that will win in politic* or In life.” We may as well make, “ashort cut” iu criticising so able a man as Dr. Miller, and assert that no |K>iitical act was ever more unjust to the mass of tho Southern people than the act requiring re sumption of specie payments in 1879, and that the enforcement of that act means general bankruptcy so far as the farmers of the South uro con cerned. Were Dr. Miller a toiling producer burdened with debt, ho would appreciate tho gross injustice of increasing the debts of a vast ma jority of the Southern people fifteen per cent, by a stroke of the pep, or the stroke of the clock that ushers in tiie first day of January, 1879. Be would appreciate the force of Gen. Toombs’ remark, “The Bible no where tells us to take care of tho rich; but it every whore tells us to take cure of tho poor.” Nine-tenths of the white producers of the South are in debt, But, say the advocates of specie resumption, that is a sectional view ; iu questions like that of tho currency we must view it in a national sense. We reply tjiftt, when tjie nation ac cord* to the South what is due to il us an integral part of tho Union, we can ufford to overlook our especial necessities, but not until then. In no election which has taken place thus far has the unwise, unnecessary, and cruel treatment of the South in the |nut ten years been considered as an element of strengt h for the Demo cratic party. While, therefore, we admit that the overthrow of Radical ism is the paramount necessityof the South, the recent elections havo by no means convinced us that this would be as strong an argument in favor of the Democratic party throughout the Union as would op position to t iie National Bank system and to specie resumption in January, 1879. Tho interests of 40,000,u00 of people are against those of a few thousand capitalists iu this contest, and in this instanco the principle ex pressed in tiie expression voxpopuli, vox l)vi will prevail. “But,” says Dr. Miller, “I consider it especially im portant that the South should be the first and the most persistent in de manding a return to tho hard money doctrine.” And tho object of this volt-face measure is to defeat the Re publican party. Tho ex-Senator con tinues : "If, however, her people come manfully to the front and de mand honest money, and an honest financial policy, it will boa proof that she has thrown away her bitter ness ; that all sectional prejudice lias died out in her heart,” etc. Now, wo submit that, it is not yet time to “bond the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift muy follow fawn ing,” and that all sectional prejudice has not died out iu her heart? We have pursued the course of expedien cy long enough; wo need such legis lation as will repair the evils of re construction, but that legislation is not dependent upon uceepting tiie terms of the bondholders. What journal in New York city, Republican or Democratic, lias declared against hard money and speeio resumption? Notone; it is not in the Democratic nor the Republican decalogue, but. is local in its bearings, and is regulated by the simple fuot that certain sec tions are debtor and certain sections are creditor sections. Would Not Go Into Action in an Iron-Clad.—Dr. Joseph P. Thomp son says Admiral Farragut once re marked to him ; “I would never go into battle in un iron-clad. I could not handle my men, nor inspirit them. If a bull strikes a wooden ship, it sends a few splinters around, two or three poor fellows are killed or wounded, but tiie hole is soon stopped, the deck cleared, and the fight goes on. Rut in an irou-elad tiie men feel from the first Unit they are in their eoflin, for they know that ifaholeis knocked in her side she must sink, and it is much harder to to get.up their spirit for tho light. Give me a good ship of oak, and put the iron into the men.” Jefferson Davis is not eligible to tho office of United Suites Senator. His disabilities Imvo never been re moved-disabilities created by the Republican reconstructim acts. It is well understood in Mississippi, us by intelligent parties elsewhere. Mr. Davis himself has no desire to re-enter public life. If lie had, what would be the objection from a Re publican stand-point? The Vice- President of the Southern Confedera cy, Aiex. H. Stephens, was iu the last Congress, and was highly re spected by his Republican associates. . in i hi ♦ W—— The population of tho Union is now in round numbers forty-five mil lions. and it is increasing at the rate or about two and a half per cent, per annum, and mueh faster than that iu the great agricultural States of the West. rmr. stvti: trcaniuv. f • TlUlAStjrtr.lt JON E* REQUOtBP Iljr TUB OOVF.RNon TO JtLK A NEW BOND— UrJ>oTl.nf FUTURE D*N)SIT.SJvBN AC- CtA'N'aOE'THF. STATE I TIIEXTIfI/ENS' bank'-interview with nusWitpH .loans tnt) trm BTxi'feshtNT or tm CASK. A NEW BOND. Yesterday we learned that the Gov ernor had notified OpJ. Jones, State, Treasurer; that Ids the latter’s) bond wnatnentifi<rtoiTt, nu<i cited the neti'of liMfi, found Ju t)ib following sections of tho Code: Sec. 170. Sureties, how relieved. — When tiie surety to any bond, given by any officer for the performance of any nubile duty, shall give notice, in writing, to tile Governor of Ids ilcHirc to be relieved from future liability, for good cause therein staled and sworn to, (ol whieli the Governor shall be tho judge , or any such se curity shall, in the opinion of the Governor, formed upon satisfactory evidence, become insufficient, it shall bo Ids duty to require of such officer anew bond and surety. See. 17. Officer failing to give new bond when required.—it any officer -ihali fail foponipjy With slio.ii requi sition within ten day* ft ora the date he is served perabrially with a copy of the Executive order containing such requisition, he is by such failure re moved from office and a vacancy de clared. Under the above provisions of tiie law there was no alternative ami the pro turn, vacancy must be doelured. file Governor, alter due inspection of the bond, found it insufficient and sent it. lioiyc ’or verification. He felt culled upon in the emergency, and being aware of the fact that, many thousands of dollars were to be paid in a few days, to require anew bond. TIIE OLD BOND, according to tiie tax register, which we personally examined, shows that of flip parties upon this last named, tlm following are tiie taxes returned : John Jones. $20,949 on John A. Jones 4,000 oo Seaborn Jones 43,300 00 Butt Jones 2.700 IK) A. R. Jones 31,25*2 oo James D. Waddell 4.205 On James M. Russell 4,8u0 no Gen. 11. L. Henning 21,800 oo These names represent an aggro gate of $133,000, which is $07,000 less than tho amount required by law. Or course, if the bonds upon which appears the names of Nutting and Grant, is valid, the Slate is amply secured, but we umlersmud tliat these jittrUos elairn the turtiler deficit of General Jones and that he lias written letters to Nutting and Grant announcing that the understanding upon widen they agreed t,<> become his bondsmen was, that such agree ment should be tempomry and that the kid-gloves should win the day. These facts made it necessary for the Governor to'act, and upon good advice, he yesterday served notice of the insufficiency of the bond, and re quired that anew bond should bo en tered into by the treasurer, ANOTHER MOVE. In the ten days whieh are allowed for giving the new bond, it. is believed that some half million dollars will be paid into the treasury, and this is lia ble to he cheeked upon at any mo ment. To prevent, any possible disas ter tot his, and because the treasurer is under insufficint, bonds to entitle him to exercise the office, the agree ment has been made that all collec tions of each day. turned over by the comptroller to tiie treasurer, shall be deposited in the Citizen’s hank each afternoon, and the check nr de posit. rendered to the comptroller to cheek upon his books. The above are the known facts of Ihe ease, so far its they have trans pired, and we forbear to give the thousand and one rumors current over the matter, until further steps are taken. We might make a start ling sensation, but the truth, we fear, will, in the end, prove sensational enough. The Ollier side. WHAT TREASrUER .10NE8 HAS TO SAY. About, dusk yesterday afternoon a representative of tho Constitution called at the office of Treasurer Jones to ascertain if lie had any statement to make relative to the matter. Tiie Treasurer received the reporter cour teously, and expressed himself ready to give alj pro|>er information. Reporter—ls it true. Colonel, that your bond has fallen below the amount roquiryd by law? Colonel Jones Yes, sir. The do orcase iti my bond is Occasioned by the death of Gen. 11. L. Henning, of Columbus, one of ray sureties, and tile division of his estate. My re maining sureties are good to $129,000. Reporter Has the Governor taken any action relative to tiie bond? Colonel Jones* -I have been served with an order to strengthen my bond. The main reason given in the pa tier is the deal It of Gen. Henning. Ten days are allowed me wherein to fur nish new security. This I Expect to do without difficulty, ami in a few days expect to arrange a bond which will bo perfectly satisfactory to till concerned. This was the substance of what the Treasurer had to say,and the report er withdrew.—Atlanta Constitution, 17th. What In Thought at tlr. lirrr In lilt* Own Mate. Or* Olhtburg (Itul ) Prods.) Hon. M. O. Keer. Representative From the third district or this State, is n candidate for speaker of that, body. Mr. Kerr is a hard-money Democrat and t tie tool of the East ern bond-holders, and does not rep resent t lie views ot the Democracy oft Ilia State. He was only elected by the skin of ins teeth, after falsify ing his views and pretending to be in oeeord with Demoeratie State plat form. Now, wo take this method of informing Judge New that he will be expected to vote against Mr. Kerr each and every time. The Demo crats and Republicans of Decatur county who elected Him to his pres ent position demand this of him, and we believe it to he the sentiment of the whole party in this district. The Governor has appointed tive following gentlemen to represent tiie State of Georgia in the Southern Pa oitie Railroad Convention, to be held in St. Louis on the 21st hist: Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and W. T. Thompson, Savannah. Nelson Tift, Albany. Frauds Fontaine. Columbus. Wm. A. Lofton, Macon. H, G. \Vright and J. U, Randall, Au gusta. R. A. Alston and P. \V. Alexander. Atlanta. Gen. P. M. R. Young, Cartersville. R. H. Tutum. Dade county. It will be observed that the list com prises the names of quire a number of uewstiaper men, which will insure k a grand demonstration of the pro ceedings. The Governor lias made a special selection of delegates.—At lan ta Commonwealth. “Bob,” said a Camden boy to a playmate, “your father’s just been killed.” "No?” said Bob. "Yes, sir, blown up by a steam |spiler.”answer ed the other. “By gum, he's got my knife, too!” exclaimed Bob, thrust ing his hands in his pockets. Tke liiignarhlnx (iinirrx. The Washington correspondence o! tti/J iNew York World gives some in P resting details of tiie preparations fo| tile XUIVlii Congress, which elites together in four weeks. Al o-ady the scmoii may besuid to have | fairly opened. The Capital has shak leu oil its summer lethargy, and ho tels are filling up, and the demand for houses is almost unprecedented, j These signs of the coming rush are mainly attributable to tlm political change of one branch of Congress, to the promised activity of the Centen nial year, and to the Presidential campaign of 1870. The Senate and Huujse Hulls are being placed in or der, ami the President’s, Vice-Presi dent’s ami Speaker’s rooms are re ceiving unusual adornment, that they may be attractive not only to the officials who occupy them, hilt to the thousands who will visit them in I lie corning season. The interest in the new Congress, of course, centres in ihe organization of the House of Representatives. It will lie eighteen sears since a Democratic Speaker tins been elected, arid in that interval the Republican party lias eontroled the House for nine consecutive Con gresses. Of the 292 members of the next House, the Democrats have 178, the Republicans lUB, and the Inde pendents 0. Of the various candi dates for the Speukership, Kerr, of Indiana; Randall, of Pennsylvania; Cox and Wood, of Now York; Haylei*. of Ohio; Holman, of Indiana; and Lamar, of Mississippi, were members of preceding Congresses, while Payne, of Ohio, and Walker, of Vir ginia, are new members. The rela tive strength of the various candi dates is variously estimated, and by the first week in December figures alone may l>e brought, into requisi tion for tiie 11 rst time to show who is ahead. Those Democratic members who imvo visited Washington express their desire to vote for a candidate whose record as a Democrat Is free from local and “entangling allian ces,” and who will reflect, the highest honor "and credit on his party ami tho country. Next to the Speaker tiie Clerk is the most important offi cer of the House, and for this as well as tho minor offices there is no lack of candidates. It is generally conce ded, however, that t he Clerkship will go to the South, which advances no claims to the first position. ———— . 9 ♦ *— - Tho following is tiie political status of the different States since the late elections; The Democrats have con trol of the Legislatures of Alabama.

Tweed’h Fat fitful Wife. From a New York Loiter.] They were married when the man was a chair-maker, and they might have had a happy career had the former remained honest. They lived in a plain manner, mingled with me chanics’society and were the parents of two boys and two girls, good-look ing and healty children. Tho era of metricious splendor lias come and gone like n dream. The girls are married. Each had a diamond wed ding and each has stink into obscuri ty and poverty. Tho two sons once held line appointments in the ser vice of the ring, but they are now only lounging around the City Hall. The mother is in widow’s desolation. The ill-gotten wealth is almost all gone. A million and a half litis passed into the bunds of her lawyers, and her husband is still n prisoner. A seedy and corpulent old man. in habiting u pair of rooms in Ludlow street jail, is all that is of one who lias been alderman. Congressman, chair-maker and lawyer, commis sioner of parks, public buildings and docks, State Senator, and for seven years the autocrat of this city. The only redeeming feature is the faith ful wife, who is reducing herself to poverty in hope of obtaining her husband’s release. ■ AVe should not wonder that, before they get through in St. Louis, they will indict.

There is every reason to believe, from his antecedents, from his love of money, his unscrupulous disposition to gratify it at overy hazard, from the fact that 110 has grown enormous ly rich, that he is in the Whiskey Ring. It would be a national dis grace to have a President indicted, but then it is still more Important that, if a President isguilty of itorini inal Violation of the law, he should be punished. Exchange.
