Victor Huoo Is charged by the Fi
garo with a heinous offence. He has
published his “Antes et Paroles,”bn:
has changed all exclamations of dis
sent and derision accompanying the
report of his speeches to “bravo,"
“explosion of applause,” "loud burst
of laughter,” and so forth.

The New York Sun says: “The
more that wo learn about the whis
key frauds in St. L mis, the more ap
parent becomes the fact that they
have been carried on with the full
knowledge of high officials in Wash
ington, who have protected the
rogues engaged in the conspiracy
against the public treasury.”
The Viceroy of Egypt, who hns
earned by repeated acts of magnanim
ity a place among the noblest of mod
ern rulers, has lately shown, in a
striking manner, the greatness and
unselUshnesa of his character. The
sum of $65,000 having been appropri
ated to erect a monument to him, he
used the monument to found u pub
lic. school at Alexandria.
Silvzh Resumption. -The scheme
for silver resumption has been de
ferred until after the meeting of
Congress in December in order
that the law may be modified
by further legislation. The resump
tion of specie payments in 1873 will
have to be deferred for the same rea
son, viz: The impracticability of tin*
scheme.
For tho throe years, 1870, 1871 and
1873, there were in New York 363 sui
cides, 133 of whom were Germans. Of
that number also 275 were males and
81 females, tho age of the oldest b( f
ing eighty-six, and of tho youngest
ten. Tho months in which self de
struction was most prevalent were
those of summer, August furnishing
more than twice as many suicides as
December. Of the occupations rep
resented clerks figured most largely.
Carl Schurz has not, as has been
erroneously reported in tho Western

more worn upon Ids paper, the Hi.

having wide circulation throughout
the German press of the oouutry.

tin exploit of Col. Blanton Duncan at

Tub Epizootic—A Novel Remedy.—
A New Hampshire paper says that
the spoedieat way to cure the epizoot
ic and make a horse thoroughly hap
py is to give him onions. In proot
whereof the ease of a Portsmouth
horse is cited, which had a severe at
tack of the disease, und his owner
placed a dozcu onions in his crib
regular food. The horse nickeled
three of the onions immediately, and
by the time he had swallowed them
began to cough ami sneeze and
prance about aopenring quite iudig
nant and refusing to touch the re
maining onions. For full live min
utes he wept at the nose, and then—
he was a cured horse. He has not
had a cough, a sneeze, nor any sym|>-
tom of the epizootic since, but lie
did not have the courage to eat tho
onions remaining in the crib the
next day after the cure.

Montreal, ii.
We confess that we like Independ
ence wherever wo llnVflt, when tnde
is-n.luncc is based on honest convic
tions. But the kind of independence
which excited our admiration in the
Atlanta Commonwealth relative to
the trickster, H. I. Kimball, is chang
ed to a coutrufy scut intent, when we
see in the sumo paper no unnecessary
and harsh criticism of Gen. John B.
Gordon. We have lived to see his
tory falsified already too much to tie
a worslrip|s.T of men ; but if any Geor
gian could command hero-worship
from Georgians, that man would be
John B. Gordon. The whole South
is justry proud of our magnanimous
soldier-statesinaii. Georgia is espe
cially proud of him, and freely gives
to him the foremost place among her
public men. It may bo that the
almost constant demands made upon
him have caused hint to "stale his
presence before the vulgar herd,’’and
sometimes reporters may exaggerate
tils remarks. “Speech is xilvern, but
si leave is golden ,” says tin old adage ;
but. who that lias spoken in helmlf of
the South since the war, has wielded
:t hotter or vaster influence titan Gen.
Gordon ? His reputation is already
national. In his case, Indeed, “A
prophet is not without honor save at
his own home,” &e. The simplicity
of his manners makes him easily ac
cessible to all; bis known liberality
makes iiirn ever ready to extend ills
purse to aitl the needy; yet Ids views
upon Unauce and political policy
have, thus far, proved in accord with
tlic masses of Ids people.
Tite shafts of envy seek an invul
nerable target when they are directed
against Joint B. Gordon. If personal
wealth and tho capacity to make and
keep riches bo the only criterion
of wisdom and merit, where would
Thomas Jefferson appear ? Was Mr.
Jefferson more successful in accumu
lating riches titan Geh. Gordon has
l>eoti V Away, then, with these Igno
ble attacks. Let Georgians not seek
to traduce the fidr fame of her great
est soldier and well tried Senator, but
let us unite, “each ono for all and all
for each one.”
The Atlanta Commonwealth stands
isolated in this ungenerous criticism
of Gen. Gordon.

Wo clip tiio fallowing interesting
statements from tho Sail Francisco
Morning Call:
Liberia was founded by the Amer
ican Colonization Society ns a free
colony for the blacks in lHjo,
For tt time it was prosperous, but
never to the extent that was hoped
and predicted for it. In IHI7 it was
declared an independent State, and
as such was recognized iu the year
following by Great Britain. Its form
of government is republican, mod
elled after Uintttf the United States,
with the exceptions that no white
man can become a citizen, and no
colored citizen vote unless lie is the
holder of a certain amount of teal
estate. Monrovia is the capital town
and is located on the coast. It is also
the principal port of entry. The na
tive population tinder the jurisdiction
of tiio Republic, previous to tite
American civil war, was estimated at
360*000, comprising ft variety of tribes,
of whom the principal are the Kroon,
the Golahs, the Veys and the Dcys.
The American Africans numbered
about 10,000.
Since tite abolition of slavery in
this country there have been but
few additions to the colony by emi
gration. The consequence has been
a falling hack by tite people into
habits of indolence and barbarism.
They have print ing presses, churches,
colleges, scliool-ltousoH, and have en
joyed a steady trade fn such articles
as form the commerce of their terri
tory—rosewood, teak, mahogany,
sassawood and a large number of
ol Iter native productions, wit lull lots
lately greatly fallen off. They also
exported several valuable dyes and
medicinal herbs, oils ami roots,
wlille the production of sngar-cauc
was considered their staple article of
domestic trade, in which, for a time,
they drpvtui thriving business, o|s*r

J.-n.Hii Credit.
The Hebrew Ledger defends the
cr*•>iit of the Jews, and says of the re
cent, failures;
Have any Hebrew Duncan .S: Sltcr
mli failed?. Have the Seligmnns
gohe by the Board? Has itelmont
suspended? Have the Rothschilds
failed to meet their engagements?
I,'hese are representative Hebrew
traders, and hut a group of them,
'throughout the great city of New
York there are hundreds of swell
Hebrew tlrms. It is impossible that
in the vast seltelue of Hebrew trading
it) New York failures do not und shall
not occur; but that they are ehietly
cliaraeterizetl by honorable dealing
and a voluntary stteriliee of nil the
unfortunate men of business have,
to their creditors. An instance comes
to our mind of the failure of a large
firm recently, of whose commercial
morality no one at any time has pre
tended any doubt. In this ease the
father of the head of the firm, al
though not liable for one cent of in
debtedness, contributed between half
a million and a million of dollars to
reiKiv its creditors. This is an cx
ampie of 'Hebrew dealing which
many Christians might follow with
protit to themselves—and with profit
to their creditors, too.
And by the way, there is not an
Israelite in Columbus who lias been
accused of either usury or extortion.
Not one is a money-lender.
The .Veil hiieukrr.
Thb Washington correspondent of
the New York Times writes: "The
contest tor the speakership will soon
assume a more active form, or tit
le ist will attract more attention.
Randall expeots the nomination on
the first ballot, in the Democratic
Cox thinks the contest is
between himself and Kerr. Kerr
has sense enough not to boast of his
prospects. Fernando Wood is by no
means out of the contest. While
these Hemoerurie magnates are eon
lid' nt of seizing the office, lesser
lights, such as Milton Sayler.Hilbert
C. Walker, General Ranks, and pos
sibly some others, tire held in re
serve for compromise candidates.
Kerr is the most üble and honest of
the candidates, and Banks is the
best tit ted to preside. Randall is the
best parliamentarian, excepting
Banks, and Walker is the best look
ing of the eandidates. The exigen
cies of polities and the ambitions of
presidential oanddiateswill probably
nictate a man who will not become
too prominent as speaker, and there
fore troublesome, someone not yet
mentioned may be finally selected as
a compromise between all interests.”

THE EXECUTIVE ORDER
: In the case, referred to in yesterday’s
I report, exhibits the true status of
| the matter and enn be relied upon as
revealing all that is involved in the
Governor's action. It will he seen
that litis order recites the reasons
which flic Governor had for his no
tion and that the paper is not such
a one us should necessarily give t In
slightest offense It probably does
not. The following is the order:
Executive Department, j
State or Georgia, }
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 15th, 1875. )
Whereas, Tlic examination of the
condition of the Treasury, thus far
made under direction of the Gov
ernor by joint resolution of the Gen
eral Assembly, bv James F. Boze
man, assisted by James W. Warren.
.Secretary of the Executive Depart
ment, discloses a state of tilings
which excites great apprehensions
i hat the public inteiest may suffer
injury from rite failure of the Treas
urer lo account fully and satisfacto
rily for the public money which lias
gone into Ids hands since ho came
into office; and,
Whereas, it has come to the knowl
edge of I tie Governor t hat ;w<> oft lie
sureties upon the official bond of the
Treasurer deny their liability there
on ; and
Whereas, Information bus come to
the Governor that another one ot
said sureties has departed this life,
and Itis estate will soon have been
fully administered noon-, and that
still anot tier of said sureties has
become financially embarrassed;
and
Whereas, The examination of the
tax digests in the office of the Comp
troller General discloses the fact that
t he remaining sureties on the bond of
the Treasurer do riot return taxable
property in value to the amount of
said bond; and
Whereas, By section 170 of the last
revised code of Georgia it is male the
duty of the Governor when surety to
any bond given by any officer for the
performance of any piibliediity shall,
in the opinion of t he Governor, form
ed upon satisfactory evidence, be
come insufficient to require of such
officer anew bond and surety; utid
Whereas, It is the opinion of the
Governor, formed aforesaid, that the
surety upon the bonds of the Treas
urer lias become insufficient, and
that the Treasurer should not be al
lowed to receive, have possession of
and disburse public money of the
State without giving new bond and
surety in tire terms of the law; it is,
therefore.
Ordered, That John Junes, State
Treasurer, do execute anew bond
with sufficient surety in terms of the
law in sue it cases made and provided.
Given untier my hand and the seal
of tite Executive Department, at the
Capitol, in Atlanta, the day and year
above written.
[Seal.] J. M- Smith,
Governor.
By the Governor:
J. W. WltllikN,
Sec. Ex, Department.
The above order wus officially scrv- j
ed upon Col. Jones on Monday,
ITTTUIIF. DEPOSITS
of the inoneisof the State wore at |
once arranged for as the above order j
made necessary, and by agreement, j
if correctly stated, the Citizen’s bank |
was selected by Coi. Jones as the de
pository ami the certificates of each
day’s deposits to lie handed to the
Comptroller General at the end of
that day. Of course this arrange
ment is only temporary, anu will
cease so soon as the new bond is pre
sented, approved and tiled.
the oovEjtxon’s nemos
in the matter are understood to he
wholly to protect tlie public interest
ami to faithfully discharge the obli
gations resting upon him. Bo far as
can be ascertained he is upon good
terms with the Treasurer and honest
ly desires to see the new bond made,
much preferring that arrangement of
the matter than to have the treasury
vacated b., the incumbent,
COL. JONES HAYS
that lie does not care to say what he
will or riot do, but will let itis actions
speak for themselves. It is general
ly believed that lie will experience
no difficulty in making the bond and
luruishiug the surety in the terms, of
tlie law und within the specified lime.
It will be noted t.lmt Col. Jones, in
the siiort interview with him, pub
lished yesterday, stated ; “Ten days
are allowed me wherein to furnish
new security. This l expect to do
without difficulty, and in a few days
expect to at range a bond which will be
perfectly satisfactory to all parties
concerned.”
THE OPEN QUESTION
concerning the liability of Messrs.
Nutting and Grunt, who are upon
the first bond, .the temporary bond,
so claimed will doubtless have to lie
settled ill the courts of tlie Stale, but
(lie rumor thin any action had al
ulready been taken ts not verified by
the records of the courts hero. This
matter will doubtless rest until after
the present situation is disposed of
ami any reports to be made to the
Legislature shall have been acted up
on.
THE INVESTIGATIONS
heretofore and now being made by
the Governor and others, under his
direction and by authority of a joint
resolution of the Legislature are in
no wise connected with the present
proceeding. Any report based upon
those investigations will be made to
and considered by the Legislature.
It is understood that Dr. Bozeman
has already prepared in part, if not
wholly, the report of liis operations,
und that it is in the Executive office.
His report, however, it is stated, re
lates to the matters that were before
the Inst session of the Legislature,
and is, therefore, not a document re
lating in any way to the present af
fair. The declaration of the Consti
tution reporter of his ability to make
“a startling sensation”
was not intended to beapplied in toto
to the present ease, but hiuted at
matters held in abeyance and which
relate to other affairs with which the
debt is connected. As we should
have said: “After due consultation
over tiie matter in hand, and the ad
ditional iusentive of serving the pub
lic good, at the proper time Governor
Smith will reveal it, and we tell all to
you that we know." The misman
agement and gross negligence refer
red teas having been discovered by
our officials, when in New York, per
tained to the handling of the State’s
finances, but a metathesis of para
graphs brought the statement iutoan
unintended collocation. Upon all
these subjects the Governor is at
work with his usual energy and per
sistency, and, of course, "in dealing
with them lie is not the man to rely
upon a sentimental belief that the
| kid-gloves tHiliey should win the day.”
The above contains all our present
'Understandings or the Treasury and
general financial affairs of the State.
Atlanta Constitution, 17th.
Clean Cp and l oad Your Ptsiols.
The wholesale robbery of cotton,
hog , chickens, and every other arti
cle of value in the country, by lazy
and villainous negroes, demands
IHK IHHhb. jfjHnLtt, MtfMßfati \B, m.
some more potent treat mem than the
tortuosities of the law can afford.
Farmers give their laborers one-half
lof all they make, and not content
j with that, they seem bent upon steal
j dig the other half'. In Lee, Dougher
ty, Baker, Terrell, Randolph and
other counties the evil Ims grown to
be ruinous and insupportable. It is
there actually a question of bread
and existence, to tin; planters.
As usual, since the war, Ibese dep
redations are effected Through tin
aid and inlerrcurion of while men,
who run gin mills and variety simps
at nearly every cross-road in the
country. The principal revenue ot
tin-.sc costermongers is derived from
Stolen seed cotton, corn, rice, Wool,
peas, potatoes, and all the other pro
duels of the faint. They drive tlieii
unholy vocation all through the
night, and the greater the darkness
anti tin- harder the rain, tho more
certain tun) profitable their harvest.
Without owning!! square loot of land
or planting one seed of cotton, main
•>t t hose shopkeepers pack and send
to market Irmit one to three hundred
bales every season. And of this
amount it is safe to assert tlmt Itco
thirtle in-long rightfully to the plait!-
ers, or in other words, ure stolen
property.
Ol late, tin- robberies have- become
so universal and alarming that w hole
counties are moving to suppress them
and if the law cannot In- made
effective for that purpose, stronget
measures will lie resorted to. Indeed,
in some instances this lias ulready
been done, lint such remedies are as
bad as the disease, and may itmugu
ran- reprisals Jn the shuts-of blood
shed and incendiarism. On one point,
however, every honest white man
should he fully agreed.
When the depredator, white or
black, Is caught in jlagranle tle.iwtn—
in the very act —let gunpowder and
ballets settle the matter on the spot,
then awl there. Slniot the miscreants,
and do God and tlic country service
by purging the land of tlio-e who, if
allowed lull scope to t heir villainy,
will make a desert of it.
Ever since their investiture with
tie* rights of citizenship and suffrage,
tile negroes, ns a class, have been
i hievish and uruly. The absence of
forcible restraints, and the necessity
of actual proof to make out a case in
the courts, have given to crime nu
utilizing impunity. They operate
wtille others sleep, and of <•, mr .e can
not always tie detected. But even as
itis, not. one in fire of the cases of
theft are reported and prosecuted,
yet every jail in the country is tilled
with black offenders, and additional
criminal courts for their trial and
punishment have been found indis
pensable. That new Institution, tie
chain-gang, 100, tins sprung tin in ev
ery county and village, and go where
you will, there is Sambo in fetters,
digging away in tin- streets, and
seemingly jolly and happy.
No disgrace attaches to imprison
ment In the estimation of these na
tural thieves, and goon quarters and
rations, and light work, go very fm
with the majority to compensate for
the deprivation of personal liberty.
Not to travel beyond our individual
experience, to show tlint tin- above
language has not in the least been
exagcrateil. the writer has only to
make the following statements from
his own standpoint:
■Since tin- war, while a resident, of
Cuthbert, Itis horse was stolen from
tin-stable and never recovered.
In n single night in- lost every
turk-y, ilte-U mid chicken on Ins
premises; had a valuable milch cow
just about to calve killed and bu (Tier
ed within tlfty rods of the settlement
on Ids farm : had a chest, in
his own bel-chamber, containing
thirty dollars in specie, opened ami
rifled ; his corn-crib robbed of a large
amount of grain : giri-lmuse entered
and live hundred pounds of cotton
stolen, the thieves and their plunder
being captured within a few puces of
the building; hud his garden fence
torn down and a whole wagon load
of rnia-baga tin nips carried off
three hales of packed cotton an Ia
i valuable mule spirited away to Flor
ida from Itis Baker plantation—forty
head of sheep, and all save five of
two hundred head of hogs, stolen
from the same place; and liunity, his
store, printing office, and merchan
dise worth :?7.ihki, burnt, by a negro
for plunder, who was afterward ar
rested near Columbus—Macon Telo
grnph.
A Honitini.r. Affair.—ln Jackson
county. West Virginia, last week, a
grand house-raising took place As
is customary upon such occasions,
chickens bad been killed by chopping
off their heads. Two little sons ot
the owner of the house to he raised
saw the chickens thus guillotined,
and during the day concluded to re
peat t lie operation. It was just at a
time when the men were lifting a
heavy log into place. The father,
who was holding one end of the log.
easting his e\es toward the little fid
lows, one of whom had the axe raised
to sever the neck of his brother, let
go the log to save the boy,and it fell,
killing six men—two instantly, the
others living only a few hours. The
axe fell before tile lather could reach
the scene, cutting off rite head of ttie
