Whenever he believes a man or woman is justly cuudemued to execution the united Voice of huudreds of people canuol move him from his lirm determination to allow the law to take its ix-u se. And when he thinks injustice might be doiiu by h too hasty execution ot a sentence ol death, the eutire people of OoWeta * ou ty, with a news palter to sustain them, cry mg corruption, corruption, eaunot make him swerve from his purpose. We should think that every body h id learned by this time that G veruor Smith is a “man ol pie own beau.” THK ANTI-CATHOLIC LKAUI7R. We copy from the New York i Time#, u leading lb 1 publican paja-r, ; a re|>ort of an interview with John Y. j Fosier, tlie writer of the letter to | Bluinu Informing him that Gen. j Grant wus a member of “a secret ! utili-Cat hollo order,” and “relied | upon It to promote bis uiins.” Mr. ! Foster admits that he did write the letter, butektlms that It never reach ed the hands of Mr. Blaine. It may be that bis uvowed friendship and preference for Mr. Bluiue may have induced him thus to deny his receipt of the letter, because Mr. Blaine would otherwise be placed in a rath er awkward position. The inference would be unavoidable that he con ceived and pro|>osed Ills uuti-secta rlnn amendment us a plan for “head ing off” Grant-us un offset to his membership and standing in the aiitl-CuthoUu league -uud not be cause be really felt that there was any need for such au ameudtneut. The whole scheme of these two as pirutits would thus be clearly ex posed to the couiitry. They would be shown up us selfish intriguers; i li rowing a line-brand into the politics of tliecountry for the promotion of i heir own personal emls. So fur as Geu. Grunt's course is con cerned, we think that the evidence or such a purpose Is already conclusive, tils membership in the league is proof sufficient. He wus not alto gether iJle or indifferent to politics while sporting at Long Branch uud leaving public matters ut Washing ion to tuko care of themselves. He had his “club” to attend, and that club wus a political oue, in which preparations were nmkiugfora “new departure” by the Kepublican party, with him as the leader and beneficia ry. He was “promoting his own cuds,” and it will not puzzle the peo ple of the country greatly to uuder stuud wlmt those cuds were. Mr. Foster’s statements shed light upon the startling political revolu tion shown by the result of tho mu nicipal eloetiou in Newark, N. J., in October last. It was the “secret uuti- Outbullc order” that did it.. Such se cret organizations, when they take part in politics, are ulways most effective before their existence is generally known. They can then operate successfully without arous ing Ihe opposition which a knowl edge of their action uud pur poses would arouse. It was so with ihe Know Nothings, who swept the country until a purty could be rallied upon the distinct issue of op position to Know Nolliiugism, uud when tliis open and square fight was made, “Sum” found tliut he hud un dertaken u job too big for liis re sources. The organization brought disaster upon the party which it was intended to aid, instead of giving it strength and success. So will it be with any secret sectarian (or uriti sectariuu if they choose to cull it so party which may be found to help Grant or Blaine. It will arouse op position in unexpected quarters. With such an organization exposure is ultimate defeat, and the sooner the exposure the sooner tho defeat. Mr. Fosier lias unwittingly done the country valuable service iu his efforts secretly and confidentially to help ids l'rieud Mr. Bluiue. A llinnrr lur ri, I rnnliuiriit. Our new city government has com menced its work by eutliug down salaries uud by other arrangements for reducing expenses. Tills is com mendable, for luxes are high and hard to meet, and the finances of the city would bo greatly improved by the exhibit of a larger buluuce in its favor at the eud of the year. But the Uouucil has not yet readied and act ed upon tlie item of excuse iu which it cun probably make tlie greatest saving. Wo allude to the cost ol lighting the city. The reports sub mitted lust week show that the city had to puy $4,348 for its light for tlie year just closed. This wus tlie amount of its gas bill. There is no dotilit whatever that half this amount call lie saved by tho substitution of kerosene oil for gas, and the light would be equally good. There is uo other business which requires a bet ter light than priutiug offices, and both tlie uowsiuiper offices in this city have tried kerosene loug enough to prove that it is about equal to gas and far cheaper. Wo do not think that the cost exceeds oue-fourth that of gas. Here is a chance for a saving of more in oue item of expense than will be effected by all the reductions yet luudo. There are also objections to the present system of lighiiug tlie city because of its incompleteness. The gus mains do uot extend all over the city, nor over one-half of it. Couse ! queutly nil the eilizeus are not alike : oeneUtted by tlie existing arrange ments for lighting. Partial benefits, the expense of which is shared by all, should be procured ut the least cost, uud where it is possible to ex tern! tite benefit and ut the same time to reduce largely the expense, the op portunity ought uot to be neglected. Cannot a saviug of at least two thousand dollars a year be effected by burning oil iustead of gas iu the city lumps ? Aud if it can be done, wfuj should it not be doue ? We imagine that the statements made iu Ex-Collector Murdoch's af fidavits 7 m tieed in our dispatches of yesterday j must have stirred up the feelings of President Graut and Pri vate Secretary Babcock to a greater degree than did Henderson’s sjieech. Tbo “true inwardness” of their strange tolerance of the whiskey iruu Is is chopping ou , and every in dication points to the weaving aroutid them of au uncomfortable net-work of evidence. “Let uo guil ty mau escaiie.” —A Brooks county negro, on trial for steeling a hog wulcll the prosecutor said weighed seventy-five pounds, rose aud Bsulentlousiy remarked that “De ahote didn't weigh iait fifty pounds nohow." But even that didn't o.ear hi.u. THE TIMES: SATURDAY MORYTYG, PE*TM HER 18. m. Month Cearxla N. K. htnlrmire. Am mucus, Ga. Dec., 17, 1875. Oomipoodencv of tb* Tim am.

The register allowed this claim. The creditors of the firm ob jected, and the question was certified to this Court by Register Murray. On more than oiieoeeaSioti tlie pre cise question has been before tins court, uud has always been answered in the negative. And notwithstand ing District Courts have entertained opposite views on this question, 1 am still of the opinion that neither the leiler or spirit of the la v or tlie Constitution or laws of Georgia, war rants the aliowunee of such u claim, to the exelusion of the joint creditors of the buukrupt firtu-Code 2002 to 2039.

Take, for example, the Virginia delegation three of iis Members, one n former Governor o. ‘ln*State,once prominent as a email late for Vice President, and alsofoi i lit*Sj enkerslilpot the present House; mother a disthiguislie 1 lawyer, and t member of the Forty-Third Con gress; tlie third a law professor, and a man of national reputation these are from districts that were represent ed in the Forty-Third Congress, re spectively, by a tyro of twenty-six; a glitzi* r, wd.o-e statem ns dp, to sat he least, it is not mark *.) an era in the history of Ids Count ry, and a third gentleman, who hail not tlie repu u tion ot bis successor, or your corres pondent would have remembered his name. Tlie organization of the various House commtbocs. it. is thought, will uot lie announced or several days, and.ill opinion us regards the chairmanships and |*ersonel, is mere speculation. The Speaker is proceed ing witli great rare iu tlie cnnstrue tiou of these committees. The large number ot new members with whose special aptitudes and qualifications lie is. of course, tlnaequ iiuled, makes this duty peculiarly onercuiß and del icate. Tilt-re will necessarily lie some dissatisfaction when tin* enininittees are announced, since il is itiatliein <t ieally impossible for every man, 01 every man’s friend, to have tip* first place. It is known, however, that they w ill be arranged with respect to un sectional policy, but to facilitate in legislation those ideas of economy and honesty iu government which sent a Demoeratie majority to Wash ington, ami inHde Mr. Kerr Sieuker of the House. It has been sai l of Mr. Kerr that ne lias no popularity of tlie magi. da kind, uud that lie tuakis au enemy whenever lie shakes a hand. I know a man who was refused a position by iiitu, and who shook hands witli him i wiee, but notwithstanding the refus al and tlie handshaking, litis man nominate I him for President as soon as he left the room. The applD-aut had concluded a very good argument for a clerkship wi h the words; "I'lds is my case and my tlength,” when Mr. Kerr replied : “And my strength is my weakness; if I could, within the bounds of propriety, recommend you to the chairman of any of the House committees, I womd do so; but to show how little patronage I control, there is a gentleman .point ing to a gentleman in tite ruom> to whom I am more indebted than to any other man in my district, and 1 I have uot been able to give him a i clerkship!” Bazin.
