can't redeem his coupons? Is the debt of
the bondholder hedged round by any sa-
cred obligation that does not apply equal
ly to the man whose claim is not in bonds
but in qu~artermaSter's vouchers! But
the fact is the debt is increasing every
day, Notwithstanding Mr.. Boutwell's lying
bulletins. All the claims now being denied
will have to be paid some day or other,
unless VIZ adopt the great relief of repudi-
alton as all other nations have done in some
form or another, and bury the whole mass
of claims, whether in the form of bonds or
of anything else, in a common grave, to the
"music of the Union," which is the latest
name for the Rogue's March. equal and
exact justice to all men" is the bogus mot
to Of the Republican party" Equal and
exact justice to all creditors should be the
rule of conduct of every honorable man. If
the Government undertakes to repudiate
one part of the debt, let the people finish
the job and repudiate the rest of it.

Counterfaiters.

1t will be remembered that, some weeks
ago, we published a letter received at this
Office from Wogan & Co., New York, pro-
posing to furnish us with so much counter
felt L. S. currency for a certain sum of
genuine greenbacks. On Monday last, We
met with Hon. John A. Wimpy, of Dab
lOuega, Ga, who was on his return from
Washington and New York. He stated
to us that he had a conversation with two.
members of this firm, while in New York,
and had a plan laid for their capture, but,
having 50 much faith in his undertaking,
indiscreetly limited the same to the pro-
prietor of the Astor house, where he was
to meet them in a second interview, when,
with the aid of a detective he hoped to
make the arrest. lie is Of opinion that
these fellows got an inkling of what he was
up to, at the Astor, as none others, save
the detective, had the least idea of his
business. lie also stated that he obtain
ed the names Of three persons, citizens Of
Dahlonega, to whom they had sent pack

said that if lie had succeeded in capturing

Washington, Dec. lS,-The Senate ad-
%journod at half past | o'clock, after pass
ing the Georgia bill, by a vote of 40 to 8.
The only changes made are the adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment, preliminary
to reconstruction, and the retention of
seats by those who claim that they served
the Confcdcracy under duress. The title
of the bill was amended to read "to pro-
mOte' instead of "to perfect" the recon-
struction of Georgia. Thus the arguments
have showed a desire to give further IL
cense to Congress in controlling the action
Of Georgia as a State.

The election in Knoxville on Saturday
developed talents in the way of manage
ment that would have reflected credit on
the Sachems of Tammany Hall, in their
%palmiest days. The Bakeries, detcrmin-
ed to take time by the forelock, engaged
all the puplic %conyeyances some days be-
fore, to carry voters to the polls, but the
friends of the rival candidates, determined
not to be outdone, managed, the night be-
fore, to quietly emOve the taps from the
axles of all the vehicles, and CONSERVATION
ruled supreme in the ranks of the friends
of Col. Baxter. The mischief was discov-
cred in time to be partially remedied, but.
as an election ruse, it deserves the highest
admiration of that class of politicians who
believe that everything is fair in war and
politics.

POLICE CoURr.-The cases OF the
Gray brothers which had been con-
tiuued from 3 previous morning this
week, were investigated yesterday
morning by His Honor. Robert Gray
was arraigned on two charges, one for
creating tumult and disorder, the other
for resisting an officer while in the dis
charge Of his duty. There were sew
eral witnesses examined, pro and con,
and after q careful and elaborate review
OF the law and the testimony, His
Honor imposed a fine of ave dollars
and costs on the first charge, and like
fine and one days imprisonment In jail
on the second.
James Gray was charged with aiding
and abetting his brother in resisting the
officer. The testimony was conclusive
and he was fined five dollars and costs,
and imprisoned in the County Jail one
day.
This thing OF resisting officers when
in the discharge OF their duty has be-
come almost daily transaction, and il
has not, heretofore, received that notice
which its Nervousness demands. The
officers themselves have been disposed
to bear with the abuse they have re-
ceived, but the programme has been
changed, and in the future parties vio-
lating the ordinance in that particular
must expect to be punished for it.
