A Solid Fact.

Mr.. A. Gibson, editor of the Union
town Genius, in speaking of his pat
rons good humOredly, among other
things utters the following, which is
not only true, but well put:
publishing a county paper Is not a
s~inecure. There + those who imag-
inc that because a paper is the organ
of a party, the party supports it,
clothes the editor, pays the paper bill,
and finally sends him to the Legisla-
ture or to Congress. Now we don't
know what the Democracy may have
in store for US, but this we do know,
that although we have the best pay
ing subscribers in the world, If we de-
pend on the money received from
time to time to pay for our paper and
ink, our labor and our fuel, our house
rem and oil, we would have TO go ma
ked ourselves, and live on glue and
molasses-otherwlse old rollers. There
are also those who believe that an ex-
citing campaign like the last, is a per-
feet harvest for the publisher of the
party organ. Our experience has not
3 nflrmed US in that belief"

THE New York Tribune approves
of Gen. Grants refusal to ride with
President Johnson in the procession
on Inauguration day, on the ground
that President Johnson once attempt
ed to convict General Grant of false
hood. AS the incidents connected
with the transaction above referred
to are yet fresh in the memory of the
public, the less said upon the subject
the better, we think, for Gen. Grants
reputation. Whatever may have been
President JOhnson's intentions, it is

WASHINGTON.
General Grant on the Georgia Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb %, 1893.
The statement that Gen. Grant
had thrown his influence against
the measure to dIsmantle Georg-
ia, expel her Representatives
from Congress, and reduce her to
a state of vasalage, was verified
to-day. He went to the Capitol
this morning and sent for Mr..
Boutwell,, who had charge of the
resolution, and frankly expressed
to him his views on the subject.
The result is that when Mr.. Bout
well appeared in the Reconstruc-
ton Committee he announced the
indefinite postponement of the
resolution, which will be heard
of no more.
The circumstances which led
to this important conclusion r
as follows: General Young of
Georgia, a Democratic Represen-
tative, aware that Boutwell, was
pressing the resolution, and if it
were reported in the House the
reckless majority therein adopt it
under the usual gag, called on
General Grant and laid before
him the facts, together with the
action of the Georgia Legislature.
He appealed to the General to
use his power to protect a help
less people. He informed the
General that the Legislature had
passed an ordinance authorizing
the Supreme Court of the State
to promptly adjudicate on a case
which would determine the status
of the negro, but that Governor
Bullock vetoed the bill to pre-
vent any adjustment, so that
Congress would return the State
to a Territorial condition, and
give Bullock the control of the
offices, institute the test-oaths,
and otherwise consummate all the
mischief possible. He urged
General Grant to advise a post
ponement of the proposed action
Of Congress, at least until the
courts could decide the case
General Grant said: II am op-
posed to Congress touching the
State of Georgia. ! think the
people ought to refer the matter
to the courts, and abide their de-
cision. The Legislature acted
badly in expelling the colored
members, but its subsequent
course, in sending the question
to the courts, meets my views,
and the veto by the Governor
surprises me. / do not think
Congress can ignore the fact that
Georgia is a State in the Union
hope Congressional action Will
be postponed"
General Grant further intimat-
cd that he would act at once, and
with what effect is stated above.
Incidentally, during the inter
view, the General referred to Mr..
Boutwell, as one of the ablest as
well as one of the most upright
men in the country, and he also
repeated the remark which has
hitherto been attributed to him,
that he would not be the Presi-
dent of a mere political party.

Congress.

The opinion prevails In Washing
ton that there will be a protracted
session of Congress after the 4th of
march. The present Congress seems
unlikely to pass all the regular annu-
al appropriation bills. Several of
these bills have been held back with
the hope that Mr.. Washburn, chair
man of the appropriation committee,
would recover from his illness, but he
despairs of being ready for duty
again in this Congress, and Mr.. Blaine
has assumed charge of them. He can
hardly be able. However, to press them
all through within the remaining
nine days of the session. There are
other important measures, moreover
which ought not TO be permitted to

The Decision of the Supreme Court.

Tae decision of the Supreme Court,
that we have two kinds of legal ten
ders-gold and silver and greenbacks
that contracts made payable specif-
ically In the former can be legally en-
forced, and that where coin IS not
mentioned in the contract it q be
fulfilled by greenbacks, has an imp't
bearing on the public debt. The five
twenty bonds are not payable specif-
ically in coin, and can, therefore, be
discharged, under the principles OF
this decision, in G~reenbacks. The
public creditor should stand precisely
on the same footing as the private
one. 1T Is bad enough to have two
kinds of money, of different values,
with which to do business, without
adding two kinds of creditors, one OF
which Is treated better than another
in a matter that grows out of similar
circumstances.

IN eight years the strength of the
Government of the United States has
increased a thousand fold. Before
1860 the doctrine of State rights had
well nigh foundered the central pow
er. Government was nothing more
than a chimc-a. The States were
cmnipotent. They could do every
thing. The people were ignored
The Constitution settled nothing, es-
pecially If slavery were involved.
Have we n Government? was the
peoples question when Sumpter was
fired upon. Have we q Constitution
guaranteeing human rights? is the
question they are asking to-day. We
have. It shall no longer be the ma
chine of wrong. Insist upon its per
feet adaptation to the present. Let it
square with the primitive charter
the Declaration. Let it be worthy of
the nation and the times. Let il be
the palladium of human rights, the
glory, power, and creed of n free
country, where "liberty" is not q
tinkling cymbal, and where ''citizen-
chip" is not sounding brass.-BRck-
ere State.
LET it square with the Declera-
ton" ave declare these colonies are,
and of right ought TO be, FREE and
INDEPENDENT STATES" such
is the Declaration. Let US get back

the grasp Of tyranny.

TROUBLE is brewing In North Car
olina on the subject of mixed schools.
Spase population in most of the eoun-
try districts of the South has always
been a prime drawback TO any effee-
tive school system, and now in the
case of this particular State the OBJ
stacle assumes a new aRd aggravated
shape. BY the bogus constitution
education is made compulsory, and,
with the attempt TO put this expert
ment in practice, signs of resistance
begin to appear. In the well-popula-
ted districts separate schools are pro-
vided, but in the thinly-peopled
districts it is limited that mixed schools
must be established, and at this the
whites, who will have to foot the bill,
very naturally and justly revolt.

A New York magazine called the

the start than these, the natural ally
of republican principles, trained 10 an
understanding of freedom by q long
experience of its opposite, stands next
upon the record" &c.
Radicallsm and Knownothingism
are twin brothers.

roll call for the 4th of March in which
he excludes the Representatives from
