The Fifty T'hou~and Dollars Sc.
cret Service Fund.

\ late Pilot contained the allegation
that the act making this appropriation had
been misrepresented in the statement
that it relieved the Governor from the
usual obligation of accountability for the
manner of its expenditure. And in
proof, the following section of the act of
April 6, was cited by the official paper:
That the sum of fifty thousand dollars be
and is hereby appropriated and added to
the Contingent Fund OF the Executive De-
pIrtment 10 be expended under direction OF
the Governor. md to be accounted for By HIM
to the legislature at IFS merit regular session or
at any time the Legislature may require, &c.
Pamphlet Act p co..
This was conclusive enough. But on
the 14th June, 1870, another act was
passed supplementary to the foregoing
which repeats the clause on which the Pi-
lot relies for the correction of the alleged
misrepresentation. 1t expressly declares
that the Governor shall not be required to
account to the Legislature for his use of
the fund. 1t is as follows:
That the above entitled act be so amended
as 10 authoriz- the Governor To Use said
fund. or anv part thereof as he my regard

The attempted correction of the Pilot
is virtual admission that the act is bad

Georgfa.

The Radical defeat in Georgia is more
thorough and overwhelming than was
at first reported. The Democrats have
certainly elected FIVE out of seven Con-
gressmen and carried the Legislature by
more than two-thirds. Only two Radical
Senators are known to have been elected
and they are negroes. The RAIDS concede
a majority against them in the popular
vote of from twenty-five to forty thous-
and. This is Georgia's defiant answer to
the attempt to chain her to the car of the
party which is known to her true sons
only for its cowardly and cruel persecu-
ton, and for the corruption and villaiDy
Of its agents.

The Radical party, as represented by
the Grant Administration, illustrated its
policy on the great question of Amnesty
and burial of dead issues and quarrels, in
the Missouri election. 1t took ground
against the Liberal boilers, and in favor
of the Proscriptionists. In his mastery
speech in the L. S. Senate on this topic,
Senator Schurz good authority thus de

The principal opponents of the (liheral)
