The place Of the tax collector in New Orleans
seems to have been con,riveG for the benefit OF
local politicians and not for the State. The fees
the worthless who have held these positions lave
pockeled have been enormous. From the testi-
m9ny of Mr. Z. P. JoUBgBT before the con-
gressioual committee, on Thursday last, we take
this startling statement
'lIe said, in reply to questions, that in 1869
the Office of CITY Tax Collector was worth per
Yearas follows: First District, S52 900; Sec
ond District, S32 900; Third District, Sl7 900,
Fourth District, $4,000 to $4,000, and the
State Tax Collectors, Of which there were two.
rece we'd s29, 600 apiece. He said taxes since
that time had considerably increased, and, in
consequence, the office of Tax Collector was
more valuable. He considered them worth as
follows: First District, $4,000; Second Dis
trict, $40 900; Third District, S2O,OJ0; Fourth
District. S30,OO0."
Any system that allows such incomes as these
t. those who are filling the places Of simple
agents is nothing less than aa outrageous op-
preston. 0Iher places than Cincinnati will
presently have the protection Of fee bills, which
will fix the profits of public servRats within
something like reasonable limits Cas-. Gozsae.

The Alabama Claims.

We invite attention to the text of the Wash
ington Treaty, published on our frs! page. It's
perusal will be of much interest at the present
moment, in connection with the hu5-bub our
British cousins are kicking up against the claims
advanced by the administration for arbitration a,
Geneva.
The claim for indirect damages seems 10 Lave
astonished the whole British nation, and ON
phatIcally shows shen the consequences Of their
unfriendlinsss in tho time ofour national trouble
1t is true the principles involved in this claim
fr indirect damages is Something new in the
mode Of adjudicating international matters, such
4, tho case, also, with the mode of arbitration
adopted for the settlement of this case.
1t Is well established fact that the Ala bama,
Shenandoah and other priyateers OF the Confed.
cracy, were originally British vessels and that
they also sailed from British ports and did a
very large amount OF damage to our shipping
and COMMERCIAL interests, thereby prolonging
the war and, consequently, Increasing the bu. =
den OF our ational indebtedness.
The opinion generally prevails that il the
British Government at that time were not actual
ly in completely with thoss who were fitting out
these cruisers yet they did not as neutrals, Use
due diligence topreVent them from leaving Eng
l:sH ports previous to commencing their work
Of destruction. II such conclusions are correct,
the British nation is indirectly responsible for the
work Of destruction which has been accomplish
ed by these priVatecr', aud as the damages COM
mitted by them are Indirect as well as positive
we can no. perceive any jus. reason why this
claim for in direct damages sholld not be admit
tad. The m ,rits of the testimony in the case
must b, determined by The Board Of Arbitration
AMI their award of damages will no doubt be
based upon just appreh snsioa of the responsi
bilities incurred without regard to the absolute
claims or dsnialISof tue parties in suit.

MISTAKES THE POINT

The Savannah Republican argues
that Gov. Smith could not have
made the assignment of the Con-
grossional donation without disap-
pointing expecting localities. The
ground of offence is that he made
any assignment at all. He had
three months of time to submit the
matter to the Agricultural Society of
the State, where it was already I'M
der consideration, and where an as
signment would have been indicated
with entire satisfaction to the people
who were to be benefited by the
donation.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1872-04-12
EXTRAORDINARY ACTION

A few days ago the Trustees of
the State University, together with
several distinguished citizens of
Georgia, met in Atlanta, and by
some hook or crook, induced Gov,
Smith to turn over the u. $. Agri-
cultural endowment to the State
University.
The location of an Agricultural
College that should receive this fund
has been discussed with more or less
interest for the last eighteen months,
and number of places have pre-
scented their claims fot selection
the most prominent of these are Mill
edgeyille, Griffin. Marietta and Dab
louega.
1t has been understood that the
Legislature would dispose of this
fund, under the recommendation of
the State Agricultural Society and,
to this end, the Convention of the
Society held in Savannah, in Feb
ruary, appointed committee to con-
slider the subject and report to the
meeting of the Society, to be held in
Griffin, in July.
The friends of the State UNIVERSE
ty have been urging its claims for
the whole of this fund from the first
but such has been the feeling in fa-
vor of other localities, that they had
well nigh despaired of success by
meeting the question openly and
squarely before the Agricultural So
ciety or the Legislature, and have
thus attempted, by sharp man@ycur
"a trick-to accomplish their ends,
and it seems that Gov. Smith has
lent himself willing instrument in
their hands for this purposc.
We have no feeling of opposition
to the State University but rejoice at
its prosperity, and would be pleased
/ to see II Hoerally endowed, ana Oull'
up as one OF the first literary institu.
tions of the country, at the same time
we believe that should this fund de
signed for the endowment of an Ag
ricultural College be turned over IL
that institution it will be for all prac.
teal purposes, as good as sunk.
We confess that we are surprised
and disappointed at the course pur-
sued by Gov. Smith in this matter
and feel that his actien will meet
with unqualified condemnation fro m
the masses of the people.
But we have not space for further
comment at this time. The subject
will be referred to again.-GajnS,
