The BoudheIdins Question.

EOltOis Ol Tue fSeRistci'
An editorial appeared in the Inte''isen-
Ger few days since complaining Of an
article which appeared in the REGISTER
in regard to James C. McGrew, Esq.
The Mtelligencer is so intensely "loyap'
that it cannot be expected to attach
much i'm portance to truth when speak
ing of its political opponents. The In
telligepcer roundly asserts that William
G. Brown owns more stock in the King
wood bank than Mr.. McGrew; that Mr..
Brown owns half the stock in the above
bank. This is a great mistake, Mr.. Nc
Grew docs not own one-third of the stock,
and be holds ten thousand dollars more
stock than Mr.. Brown. The stock OF
the Kingwood bank Is owned by nu-
merous stockholders, composed OF the
best mex in Preston county. 1t is true
Mr.. Brown is the President and Mr..
McGrew the Cashier of the above bank,
both high minded and honorable men,
differing, however, in politics. Mr..
McGee is running for Congress on the
Republican platform, and Mr.. Brown
on the Pendieten or Democratic plat
form. Both honestly deserving the
success of their respective parties. My
object in writing these lines is to vim
dicate the bank from what would seem
to be the idea of the Intelligencer, that
the bank was the property Of few un-
scrupulous bondholders.

The Gesrgia Outrages.

After perpetrating the most infamous
crueliies upon the Columbus prisoners,
and upon the witnesses, in order to in
duce them to swear away the lives of
innocent men, the military authorities
in Georgia, finding on the trial that
their case had completely broken down,
have concluded to turn the prisoners
over to the civil authorities for trial.
Such is the finale of this infamous
prosecution by the military, in which
the most cruel barbarities of the
Inquisition have been practiced
upon the negroes, in order to
make ont a case for taking human
life, and to obtain verdict to be used
by the Radical party in the elections.
Such is the character of the party which
has the effrontery how to demand a pro-
longation Of its power, and which, by
its preparations for spurious count, and
for drming their OWn party, betrays an
obvious purpose not to respect the de-
cision of the people at the polls. The
real parties responsible for these cruel
ties in Georgia are Grant, Colfax,
WashburBe, Butler, Stevens, TruRbull,
and their reckless and unprincipled as
associates in Congress.

Then and Now.

We commend the following which We
clip from the Crawford County Forum
We have taken some pains to resur
rect the following platform adopted by
the Republican party, in convention,
ut Philadelphia in 1856. We commend
it to the careful and discriminating pe-
rusal Of all candid Republicans, and ask
them to compare it with the Freedmen's
Bureau, Radical Military Government
of the South in 1868. Great God, what
a picture What parallel!
Resolred, That while the Constitution
of the United States was ordained aud
established by the people in order to
form q more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defes9, apd
secure the blessings of liberty, ana con-
tains ample provisions for the protec-
tion of the life, liberty and property of
every citizen, the dearest constitutional
rights of the people of Kansas Cor, read
if you please, of the South,) have been
fraudulently and violently taken from
them-tbeir territory has besn invaded
by an armed force-spurious and pre-
tended legislative, judicial, and execu-
tive officers have been set over them by
those who usurped authority, Sustained
by the military power ofthe Government,
tyrannical and unconstitutional laws
have been enacted and enforced-the
rights of the people to keep and bear
arms have been infringed2test oaths OF
an extraordinary and entangilng nature
have been imposed, as condition of
exercising the right Of suffrage and
holding ofiice-the right OF au accustd
person to q speedy and public tIial By
an impartial jury has been denied-the
right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and seiz
ures has been violated-they have been
deprived of life, liberty and property
without due process of law-that the
freedom of speech and the press has
been abridged-the right to choose their
representatives has been made of no ef-
fcct-murlers, robberies and ars0ns
have been instigated and encouraged,
and the offenders have beerallowed to
90 unpunished-that all these things
have been done with the knowledge,
sanction and procurement "t the pres
cnt administration, and that for this
high crime against the Constitution,
the Union, and humanity, we arraign
the President, his advisers, agents, sup
porters, apologists and accessories,
either before or after the facts, before
the country and before the world, and
that it is our fixed purpose to bring the
actual perpetrators Of these attrocious
outrages, and their accomplices, to a
sure and condisn punishment hereafter.

Tardy Economy,

The Legislature is about to dispense
with the Office of County Treasurer
This has always been needless office
For several years the Democrats have
desired to abolish it. This the Radical
majority iu the Legislature have, unit
now, resolutely refused to do. Like
most of the other positions, this place
of County Treasurer has generally been
held by the "loyal." 1t was quite lu
crative, and the work was iu no sort o.
proportion to the pay. Owing to the
determination of the Radicals in the
Legislature to retain their personal and
political friends in soft, fat and pleasant
places, the office of County Treasurer
WAS not abolished three years since. 1t;
con tinuance has cost the State thou
sands unnecessarily.
1t happens at this time, however, thai
the Radicals find it important to com
mend themselves in some way to popu'
lar favor. They dare not 60 before the
people, without striving to amend iH
some way their record of extravaganza.
But in this case, the amendment is a
confession of past gailt. If county
Treasurers are needed, why not con-
tinue themi If they are not needed,
why have they not been dispensed with
long agof Their abolition at this time
merely admits that they have always
been useless. 1t places upon the Rad
ical shoulders the burden of confessed
wrong which they were asked to right
years ago, but which they prolonged in
spite of remonstrance. The people are
not to be humbugged with any such
show of reformation; their displeasure
will not be mitigated by an act Of tardy
economy which confesses past guilt,
while it merely promises future amend
ment.

THE people of the South have been
compelled to surrender their political
rights to the negro, their public offices
to carpet-bag adventurers, and to see
their childrens bread taken from them

whn, the "Qunker.v Think Of Grnu,

What the "QuRkers' THINK % Uruut =
The Chicago Herald is an organ Of the
Society of Friends. In other words, it
speaks the views of what is known as
the denomination Of Quakers. This isa
large and influential society. 1t has
thousands-yea, tens of thousands-of
voters. Here is what the organ of this
extensive religious organization says OF
General Grant. ..
Toward General Grant we feel moth
ing but friendship, we have no faults to
parade, or, rather, no desire to parade
his faults; no selfish interests to sub
serve; no desire for the supremacy of
this or that party, simply for party's
sake, but only q strong and abiding
hope that our country will be pre-
served, and the liberties We now en-
joy perpetuated forever. We regard
the nomination of General Grant as
an error; he is solely military
man; has no reputation other than as
General; has never had an opportuni-
ty to display those talents necessary for
an Executive to represent this great
and growing Republic. Claiming to be
Christian people, we have no regard
for Christian representative in our
choice. Knowing that great Repub-
lie like ours can only be maintained by
the wisest legislation, and needs the
services of statesmen, We yet hand
it over to school boys in experience, and
soldiers by profession. That those
who serve their country we'll should be
rewarded we admit; but let US reward
wisely. Because q noble sailor should
snatch us from watery grave, we
would not feel bound to eWploy him as
our physician. Yet the maIner in which
we are handing this country over to the
soldiers is nearly parallel. Far be it
from us to cast slur upon soldier sim
ply because he has been q soldier. Nor
will we crowd upon him Offices of trust
and Importance for tho same reason"
