[ Gon’imu and from Firs! Pig ]
The suggestion of his name for Gov
ernor brought out a number of jealous
anti unjust comments, designed to pro*
jad ice his standing with Lite people- it
was alleged that he had realized a largo
fortune from the Treasury -f Gooogia
by the sale of his magnificent rosideiuse
for an Executive Mansion. Tim Dels
and figures show that the report, of his
profits were exaggerations- The origi
nal cost of the laud, building aud fur
nine conveyed to the State amount and
to seventy-three thousand dollars. Fur
these he received one hundred thousand
dollaas in depreciated bonds, which, by
extraordinary shrewdness, ho managed
to dispose of to Henry Clews & Cos. for
eighty five thousand dollars. This left
him cn’y the apparent profit cf twelve
thousand dollars. The land cost Mr
James ten thousand dollars. Upon this
fur three or four years, while unpro
ductive, he paid State, county and city
taxes. Add to this the interest on its
cost, —ten thousand dollars ; then to
this add the interest fur one year on the
cost of the building, it having been
about that length of time in process of
erection, and consequently unproductive.
When these amounts are summed up
and subtracted from th & apparent.prof t
—twelve thousand dollars—it will be
reduced to an inconsiderable amount, if
not altogether absorbed. These facts
and figures are capable of easy proof,
and eeartainly vindicate Mr. .James
effectually against this charge. As soon
as it was sold he built auother fully as
handsome which cost about the same,
which clearly shows that he built the
first one for his own use. The more
serious allegation that ho absconded
from the Confederacy during her strug
gle lor indpendence was put in circula
tion. This was regarded by the oppo
nents of his political advancement as a
fatal shot —one that would cause him to
hide his face in shame from his coun
trymen ; one that would class him
among the enemies of Georgia, convin
cing all that lie was untrue, and there"
fore unsafe to her interest. Mr James
was apprised of the zeal with which
this slander was circulated, and also
that thousands of honest peoplebelicvcd
the report. He gave no direct denial,
calmly awaiting the period of his choice
to employ the proof at his command for
las vindication.
The facts are these : For a short
pu.iud he was in the military service,
but upon the tender of his personal aid
as bearer of dispatches to foreign powers
lie was granted a release fioui the army
and furnished a passport beyond our
lines. Embarking at Wilmington,
North Carolina, on a blockade-runner,he
reached Nassau in safety, and remained
there most of the time until the close of
the war. Ho visited and spent a short
time in Canada, and vvhie there devoted
himself, at great prsonal cost, to the
object of relieving Southern soldiers
who languished in Northern prisons.
Many received the benefits of his lib
erality and knew not to whom they
were indebted. To make his plans
effective, it was essential that profound
socresy should be maintained. When
advertised in the New York Herald, it
was over an assumed name. Perhaps
those who were his beneficiaries have
innocently believed or circulated this
unjust charge. If so, they should,
when informed of the actual facts, be
equally active and zealous in doing jus
tice to a persecuted patriot.
The passport of Mr. James was grant
ed by Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary
of State of the Confederate States, and
was doubtless allowed on the hypothesis
that the applicant could and would ren
der more efficient service beyond out
lines than as a private in the ranks.
It is: absurd to say that Mr. Benjamin,
in 18G3, when able-bodied soldiers were
in so much demand, would have allowed
his departure, on any other account.
Lest some may dispute the correct
ness of this statement and persist in
urging the false and prejudicial charge
we are premitted to publish the follow
ing copy of the passport, and to refer to
Mr. James for the examination of the
original;
Confederate States of America.
To all whom these Presents shall
come —Greeting :
I, the undersigned Secretary of State
of tiro Cenfederato States of Amercia,
hereby request all whom it may con
cern to premit safely to pass, J. 11.
James, accompanied by his wife, a citi -
zen of the Confederate States of Amer
ica, and in case of need to give him all
lawful aid and protection.
Given under my hand and the im
pression of the [Seal ] SO?.] of Depart
ment of State,at the City of Richmond
this the twelfth of October, 1563.
[Signed,] J. P. Benjamin,
Secretary of State.
This act of Mr. Benjamin was approv
ed by Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary
of War, as will officer now in possession
of Mr. James. This passport was not
granted in blindness, and if the person
to whom it was issued is the subject to
public censure, those who granted it
must also be condemned. The ConfcJn
eracy not only requried soldiers to fight
her battles, but agents to assist outside
of her lines, and many were employed
in the latter capacity. We know some
of those, and they rank to-day as high
in the affections of their countrymen as
the heroes who breasted the storm of
actual battle. Why then seek to make
Mr. James a sacrifice ou this account?
Turing the war he was the owner of
one-half interest in the paper which
bore the significant title of the Southern
Confederacy. During his proprietor
ship of that journal, ho had employed
ys editors of different intervals, Mr.
William Smith,Mr Roberts,of Nashville,
known as “John Happy,” Mr. Cardoza,
of Charleston, and last, but not by any
means least, Mr. Watterson, now of the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The writings of Mr. James corres
pond in style with that of his ennversa
t; n and publie speeches. They are
cor: cise, unembellished, to the point,
clear and forcible. A recent article
originally published in the Daily Con
stitution, on the subject of the usury
and homestead laws, is regarded as the
ablest financial review that has emanated
from any of the leading men of Georgia
• ’i reproduced in many papers,
both North and South, and its argu
nients and theories have attracted the
favorable notice of the -greatest finan
ciers and statesmen of the republic.
The views of Mr. James on a number
of important State questions show that
he is endowed with the elements of
statesmanship, which may be brought
into requisition for the good of his
country.
A large ntimber of influential Geor
gians have urged him to become a can
didate m Governor tit the next elec
tion. They believe that he, more than
any other person,is adapted to that posi
tion at a period when our financial con
dition demands extraordinary wisdom
and ability for its successful manage
ment. If an army must be led to strife
and victory, we would select our great
est military chief; and if the financial
questions of the .State need to be solved
to advantage, common sense demands
that our greatest financier should be
called to the helm. No man who right
!y judge.* can doubt that Mr. James
towers far above all other men in Geor
gia in this particular. His friends and
admirers believe that his administration
would so adjust and ragulate the finances
of the State as to liberate the
people, in a great degree, from the bur
den of taxes under which they have la
bored since the war; and this opinion
lies at the base of their anxiety for his
election. —Sunny South.

Tlac" Issue of Fractional Citr
rcuey.
The announcement that Secretary
Bristow Ims stopped the issue of ten
cent fractional currency is without
foundation. ’Since last March there has
been no issue pf fifty cent fractional cur
rency, (lie object being to rid the mar
ket of counterfeits of that denomina
tion. As far as possible the twenty five,
fifteen and ten-cent notes have been fur
nisheed, but the extent to which half
dollar notes are circulated exceeds tha’
of the other three issues being over one
half of the entire fractional currency in
circulation. When the redemption oi
paper begins, or as the hard money
man of the treasury, Dr. Linderman, di
rector of the mints, expresses it, when
they are ready to cremate the fractional i
currency, the plan will undoubtedly be
to withdraw all the notes under fifty
cents and replace them with subsidiary :
coin. Mr. Linderman, who has travel
ed extensively in the West, says that ;
the demand for silver coin is very great -
Not so much for its intrinsic value but
on ac e-amt of its siriceablen ss, tie
fractional currency in circulation in th.
West being literally shreds and rags.
Those living near large cities win re
n vv notes cap be readily obtained can
not appreciate the want of something
belter than paper currency. The Gov
ernment,however, has m de nearly two
millions by the loss and destruction oi
fractional notes since the first issue was
made —Baltimore Sun.
Tlie modern school girl must have
queer ideas. In a conversation with a New
York reporter at a Varrar hop, one oi
them queried : “Are you single?” An
affirmative answer being given, she ask
ed, thoughtfully . “Do editors ever get
rich ?” The “pencil” man again replied
in the affirmative,and instanced several
leading journalists,and then added : “J
leave for Now York to-morrow, and it
will take me three days to pay taxes
and cut the coupons off my bonds !’ ’
“Is it possible V’ replied the miss, hand
you single too.
