oh e v cy — a ha Grange heport — vhs VOLUME XXVI, es - LAGRANGE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1870. Radical hth vai This kind of favoritiom is a great, grand and very extensive something just now. Reader, are you acquainted with the monster? If you are a working man your depleted pocket-book is a re ceipt certifying that you are; that you are, day after day, sustaining tts manifold and insatiable ravages. This ravager may be known and recognized an d frequenter of the sumptuous places of the bondholder, capitalist and oMec-holder, to whom sta Kpoils are delivered. The last named receives hin pasa, for his favoritism, from the former, who receives theirs, for the favoritism: this shown them direct from those who toil. A impo is no ROONEY elected to oOrve these aye, than he is immediately besieged by those moneyed lords for his favor to make him their tool. These beaiegera pay well, therefore, rarely ever fail in keeuting their prize. How wonderful, still how trute, that man in high trust can be such a mercenary character, that he will thus secretly impose uji on the confidence of his constituents. This, too, in a free and untransmoted Republic, That is, 0 Republic be nniteratigod ones, Tut OF tempore nutentay, It is on standing mockery of a Republic which was, This discrepancy arises from the dishonesty of the present incumbents of office, and the cor ruption of the party which elected them. Hence the urgent necessity of a speedy patention, Favoritism begins with our noble President, and extends sheer down the concatenation to that of Chief Magistrate. Though the benefit our loved Ulysses received from it in one day would satisfy a magistrate for his whole term, — So much for not being President instead of hold ing that lute insignificant “polish. Favorit pisma, of Radical origin, vna sell agarau diving automaton, and has the greatest tendency of soaring to the loftiest climax Hones the mi raculous and sudden fortunes of some of our office-holders, who starter in the business des titute—of all but the office. In such cases fa voritism is subservient to the highest bidder, it succumbs to the threat price. Some, by contributing for a house for the President, Lave, as a compensation been award ed a lucrative office, which more than a dozen fintes retunerated them for their donation.— Those presenting pups need not expect anything higher than a postcenMes. Though all presents are thankfully received and highly appreciated, Favoritism does not cost the office-holiler ay thing. It only costa those firmera who fren early morn till late pat night, toil and sweat at their arduous labors in tilling the soil for those productions essential to the preservation of life, even to those inflicting those impositions upon them. It comes only from those mechantes, the pride and bloom of this Republic, than whom to nation can boast of more geniuses or better skilled workmen, only from those frontiersmen, who, after repeatedly repelling the various at tacks of savages on the war path, besides con tending and disposing of other dangers encum bered in a pioneer life, are felling the forest, cultivating their reservations, beautifying their homies, and striving to extend civilization to ward the Pacific coast. But alas! their progress is materially retarded by the everlasting swarm of tax-gatherers who have even penetrated the Almost impervious and interminable recesses of the great West, to the extreme limits of civiliza tion, in queat of meeank for keeping up and tow tering favoritism in the East. The reader, if a careful pernser of our Demo cratic journals, already knows this, and it is not to give pathos to its reality, our mention of the facta, but because it is by, with and through the cHormnonk taxes thus assersed that fravorition holds such fwtl away, snd meets with eyeh one conrigement and of the present administration. This Government, from the highest offeo down to the most morttal on, is controlled by a most dharntable elite of hell-begotten favorites, with here and there an Lowest man like stalks of bar ley in a field of wheat. Plain talk in it? Not though without because, tix said there is a time when patience ceases to be a virtue. That time is now in vogue. We are a tax-payer, preyed upon by favoritism, and, therefore, assume the privilege of free expression. To get a good offce now, in to become imme diate heir of a fortune. Else, how can a man, whose stated salary is only a few thousand a year, vod with only a year or two of his oficial term having expired, afford to equip and br ais, ‘mid such a grand display of wealth, a thirty thousand dollars stone front? Need we say, that for his political influence in some transac tion to the interest of some bloated aristocrat — for the introduction of some bill. —or, for his vote for or against some bill already introduced —fa voritism secures to him the perquisite moana. The oppressed and toiling masses everywhere are anticipating God-send in the rapid but sure strides of the Democratic party to its whi tom neme of predominancy. But will it be re alized as a God-send? Will that aucvor, antici pated by thousands, be ushered in with its com ing? Or will it be a continuation of those usury pations now galling us, ¢ ln the fable of the fox and the fies? We think not. ‘Then those rights justly theirs, but now withhold, will be restored to the workingman, With the coming into power of the Democratic party, will come renegades and turncoats by the score, Who have vacated the corrupt hold of their sinking barque to seek safety upon the polished deck of ours, Beware of all such, Push them back into the angry current. We want no such vagrant and mongrel cura aboard. We never should allow a man, who has held an office, as a Radical, under this administration, to hold one as a Democrat. As our remodeled and noble ship—Democracy, gracefully moves off from her mooring, to a grand and glorious reception by the people, we ascend upon deck, and gazing back we faintly discern in the dim distance an antiquated and dilapi dated craft, with Radical Favorilism aboard, struggling by every means in its power to keep afloat, though its sinking was inevitable, Factory Boy, Synopsis or the Foxpro Brin. —The follow ing is a synopsis of the funding bill as finally passed by Congress: Section 1st provides for the issue of two hundred million five per cent: bonds, three hundred million 44 per cent. bonds and one thousand million four per cent, bonds runting respectively ten, fifteen and thirty years. Secion 2d authorizes the Secretary to sell and bonds at par, for coin, and to apply the pro ceeds to the redemption of outstanding 6-20 bonds at their par value, or may exchange new for ad bonds at par for par, but new bonds shall be issued for no other purpose.

FARTOW ON THE GRONGIABILE, He k's Kohomes Cor ynt Legislature, Repudiates Bal petuating the Wasmayoros Cry, July 15th, 1870, To the Republican Members of the General Assem bly of Georgial Guxineses: Feeling prateful to you for the honor conferred in electing me to the United Siaton Senate, and feeling that deep interest to your welfare, and the welfare of our party ant of State, which any all true Repub Jcany should feel whose destinied are inseparable from the Republican party of Georgia, Law constrained to address you the letter, and congratulating you and our country mpan the long and ans lousy Lope for adinission of our State are the Union. Last night the bill admittng Georgia asked both Houses, and today it has been signed by the President, and is now a law. During the past two weeks shower of let ters have been vowing to rise from all parts of the State, as well as froe members of your body, asking for the proper constriction of the bill pending; and now, that the nn admitting the State is before me, I feel that it is due you that in views when the dame should be made known to ye. ‘There has been, all you are isqaire, A great effort, on the one hand, to induce Con wrens to provide in this vi (owing to the ile gal organization of the Geterkt Assembly in 1868, andl ite subaegiant revolutionary conduct in expelling from ite bay a large number of its lawful members on account of color) that the General Assembly, and all State and county officers, should hold for a full term after the as mission of the State, and that therefore there shoukd be no elections until 872; and, upon the other dawned to indice Congres to any that those officers shall all be elected in November next, in pursuance with the Constitution, Congress 14 deemed it expedient to do neither. it could have dows either in its dixcretics using to do either, it has passed a law which provides especially that nothing therein, nor in any pre vious law, shall be so construed as to affect the term of price prescriled in the Constitution for the members of the General Assembly, or for anye of the Stator county officers. ‘This leaves the Constitution of Georgia just as we mute it, to operate in all its provisions, and uuder its provisions we want have elections this fill, wni lens it should be held by Federal authorities that i military government continues until the Senators and Representatives from Georgia are seated which was not done before injournment for want of time after the passage of the ball. Our relations to the Constitution of Georgian are far different from the relations of Congress to that merriment. Any act of Congress is par amount to that instrument, and Congress bed s the right, if it had thought it experient, to have shaped that Constitution to live conformed to its Wishes or requirements; while on the other hand, we are sworn to support that Constitu tion; it is paramount to your ensetments; and your section, to be valid, must conform to that instrument. I believe that in admitting Georgian Congress had the right in its good judgment, to have ex Punged from the Constitution any part thereof, as it did the relief portion of that instrment And had Congtress in the exercise of that right, expunged from that instrument the (12th) sec tion of the (11h) eleventh article, mod in lieu thereof provided that the General Assembly and civil officers of the State should hold for a full term after the State is admitted, it would not, in my Judgment, have transcended its authority in the premises, Tin Dongreas his admtted the State without coneting a few prohhiring elections until the year eighteen headed and seventy-five, for sich notion of the General As sembly would not only be without authority of how, but in palpable violation of the Constitu tion of the State. Pact Congress provided that the General Assembly should hold for a full term of years after the admission of the State, such action would have been to have expurgated from the Constitution the section above alluded t o, and to have proclaimed it to the world as a rebuke for the folly of the General Assembly i organizing Wlewally in 1864, with ten in its body who were there in defiance of the very law wider which they were convened, and its folly in subsequently expellence: from its body all persona of color. But had Congress provided Jepecially in the Dill that elsetions should be Lwhlin Georgia in the Year E870, deptivatice with the Constitution of said State, wealth not only have been casting a reflection upon the pire ty in power in Cooreia, tat wort have been Administering Coutest punitive rebuke, Cone gress simply paused at bill admitting the State, without interfering one way orth of her in the matter of elections i Georgia att the Consti tution of Georgia beiner left undistrrbed by Valladia sittings the State, the direct provisions of the Constitution require that elections be held in the year ISTO, Tt is evident Congress all not intend to assume the respone l its paste boy prohibiting elections until 1972, and the only question now is, as the laws is nothing npats the subject of elections to be held in November next. io pursuance with the Con stitution of the State? Congress by admitte the State without com founding that the elections shall or shall not be held in November next, when our Constitution plainly provides that they should be no heir, is to charge the party in power in Georgia with an intention to violate the Constitution they have recently made, and which they have, many of them,worn to support, and sent us due the opening campaign with a most severe, though , dhonerited, rebuke. I have yet tok of the first instance of any one from Georgia who you fesses any knowledge of legal principles assert ing that in the abuence of Tercissmont on the part of Congress, superceding our Constitution, the fleetinns can be legally dispensed with by the General Assembly, and I would have regretted to have seen so so very a rebuke as buinistered to the Lepublican party in Georgia by the naional Goverment, because of the expressed use of a few individuals not professing legal obtaine ments, ‘This brings us to the question, “Does the C Constitution of Georgia provide for elections in November, 1870? The Convention which framed the Constitu tion of Georgia closed it inboth and adjourned. On the 10th of March, 1868, by an ordinance of that Convention, adopted March 10, 18638, 9 section was held, beginning on the 20th day of 1 April following, for members of the General As sembly and for certain State and county officers. It was presumed by that Convention that the State would be admitted within a few weeks af ter An AMMO TA TASHS as is shown by the third paragraph of the first section of the third arti cle of the Constitution, which provided that the General Assembly should meet within ninety days after the adjournment of the Convention. Supposing that the State would be admitted during the Spring of 1868, and knowing that in the body of the Constitution (par. 2, gece, 1, art. 3) the terms of Representatives and Senators had been fixed at two and four years, without date, it became necessary to fix, in an ordinance, a due from which these terms should run. It was not deemed advisable to have the terms commence from the day of admission of the State into the Union by Congress because it was supposed the State would be admitted in May or June, 1868, which would have terminated their terms in that event in May or June 1870. But with a view of giving to the first General Assembly, and all officers elected at that time, should hold as though they were elected the ‘Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1980’. ‘The Constitution, par. 2, see. 1, art. 3, provided that the first election of the General Assembly should be within sixty days after the adjournment of the Convention, and all subse uent elections should begin on Tuesday after the first Monday in November of every second year, until otherwise provided by the General Assembly. ‘The first election taking place in April, and all subsequent elections being pro vided for in November, it became necessary to take some step to bring about regularity of suc cession could have been provided for in the Constitution, if it had been provided that the members should hold for a full constitutional term from the date of the admission of the State, for no one knew when the State would be admitted. It was supposed by those who framed the Constitution, and the ordinances un der consideration, that the provisions for hold ing on though they were elected in April, 18 gave additional length of time to the legislatorsan officers elected in April, 1808, which they would not get if they only held for a constitute term from the date of the admission of the . A simple ordinance of the Convention have been sufficient to have propesters the oral Assembly, but would not have been a dent for the protection, under some ~ atances, of many of the officers elected time. Had the State been admitted 1 June, 1868, this provision would about six months additional to the officers elected at that time.

The reconstruction laws and the Georgia Constitution contemplated that the raw State government should the provisions during a cermin stage of the worl of reconstruction, io the term of the General Assembly, or of State or county officers, cannot in any way be affected by the question, as to when the State govern ment ceased to be provisional, ‘The word pe visional possesses no more virtue in determining the question of elections than it would have possessed had the government been pervisional for a few weeks only in the year 1808. But we wreld that it is a party necessity, and, therefore, if we possess the power, we must perpetrate our General A Dy. The ac tion of propriety or expediency may have been legitimately raised before Congress, as a body paramount to any State Constitution; but whan Congress did not deem it expedient to change a Constitution, which it had wright to charge, and left that Constittion to operate upon and ind a General Assembly, that body must shape and guide its perion in observance of that Con stitution. Party ne esity is no excuse for a legislator or officer who chewingly and primably violates a plain provision of a Constitution which he is awort to support.

Very respectingly, Nesny P. Fannon, The Chronicle Senfilled in the course of a strong article denunciatory of the practice of carning concealed Weapons, very justly re- MALES. So far as our observation extents, the evidence of nearly every mercer trial, as contained in the public journals, disclose the fact that one or both of the parties concerned in the fatal arrray carried concealed weapons, with the deduction is generally justified that but for this practice no crime or rather homicide would have been com mitted. Carrying coneecial weapons is, there fore, properly vlussed as an offense against the peace of the State. The practice leads to the insurbance of the peace and good of society, by evennraying the idea that the security of the citizen can best be protected by personal effort and revenge, and not by the entactment and the enforcement of law. ‘This is the law of the sav age, not of civilized communities. We have not the slightest design or desire to deny the citizen the right and duty to possess arms for self-defence. In our sparse population it is not only the right but the duty of the citi zen to possess arms for his protection. But this does not imply his right to degrade the law and to degrade society to the standard of the Sioux Indians by encouraging the cowardly practice of carrying concealed weapons, ee _ Wao Kren Genewat, Hixpatan?—We have in our possession a letter from a correspondent, giving the reason why Gen. Hindman was killed, and the name of the person who did it. We are compelled to decline its publication, upon the ground that it would give unnecessary notoriety to an injured woman whose cup is now full to over flowing. ‘The writer of the letter states that Hindman was killed by the husband of the lady whose reputation and arquces he had destroy ed, and that his informant will make affidavit to this fact. We think the name and affidavit sould be made and furnished to the authorities. ‘This course would place the crime where it be longs, and relieve the public mind from the mystery now thrown around his murder. We doubt, however, if the poison that is charged killed Hindman, was brought to trial, could be convicted, if the wrongs stated could be brought before an Arkansas jury.—Little Rockazette. ‘This would seem ‘to be a statement that could be easily verified by the legal authorities of Ar kansas, but we have reason to question its accu racy.

All did the officers did the people of the Sun There are now two questions of overshadow ing Tiportaiee Which will engage the attention of the Legislature and the people an election over the Constitution and an organization of tin militia. The Constitution of the State provides for an section on Tuesday after the frst Monday in November, 1870, for members of the General Apsenlly and other State officers and members of Congress. An attempt is now being made in the Legis lature to avoid the election and continue the present oreapaute in power beyond their legal terms without pn eluction in ‘violation of the Constitution. Various pretenses are stated for neh netion, the envn of which is, that some det of Congress, or of the Federal or State Government, or of all others combined, has made a violation of the State Constitution on a postponement of the elections murder by noverelty. Those pretenses have no shadow of truth to support them. On the contrary, Congress hav ing been informed by Governor Bullock in per son, as the purposes of the would be usurpers, willed to the usual net of admission for a South ern State, the following positive declarations, recognizing, the absolute supremacy of the Constitution of Ciorgia relative to the State sons won the term of officn. The net of July 15, 1870, after declaring Geor gin “entitled by representation in the Congress of the United Shire,” continuet — that nothing in this net contained sal be constened to de prive the people of Georgia of the right to an election of inembers of the General Assembly of and State, as provider for in the Constitue tion thereof, and nothing fn thie or any other Act of Congress shall he waveurned to offer the form to which any officer has been appointed or any member of the General Assembly elected as preserved by the constitation of Georgia.” ‘This adds the sanction of Congress to the va lidity and supremacy of our State Constitution. Wipes out all questions of admision of members to Congress, military government, previous acta of Congress of the State, and nay the same force Ain] effort as Chonyi Congress had repealed and enacted the language of the Stave Constitution on the subject of election word for word. The Constitution of Georgia, then, is the su ]premne law, which is to relate the tines of election and the terme of office. This too plain to be argued or to be mixunderstood. The Gov ernor, the several members of the General As sembly, with every office in the State, is xWworn to support the Constitution on this subject of election, as on every other AULject of which it treats. Is there any one of them all who will dare to stand ip in the presence of lis God and his constitients, Gnd violate that oath? Do the men who propose this wicked sacrifice of their own Leonor, and the trust which has been repos ed in then, intend to provoke a conflict with the people which still be marked by strife, bit ternies, and bled ? What pride interest do these men pretend to serve? What necessity exists for that attempt ed nenrpation? Are they ready to destroy Re publican government in Georgian? Have they let respect for the people who sent them there? Are they prepared for the storm of indignation and the Lisses of Keorn which will greet thou as a necessal wampers ? Themmioathes here smal be snina mistake. Men will ut knowingly and publicly brand themselves with crimes ao terrible, nor bring upon themselves the swift retribution which would inevitably follow. There is another subject of scarcely less im portance to the people.” The organization of the miliia in Georgia would be a measure so clearly Unhecestary sd dinne traiys to all the interests of thie State iat it would not seem to require yn Ar intent.

Every good man, woman and child in the State will have reason to bless the men who will aid in saving them from these threatened ca lamities.

Let the Constitution blected with adhered to us the supreme law for the pro tection of the rights of all casses of our people.
