A BOY SHOT.

By the Accidental Discharge of a Gun.
On last Monday, two lads named
respectfully, Eugene Lamar and
Beavers, were out hunting. Young
Beavers had the gun and they had
been sitting down under tree talk
ing and handling the fowling piece
when they both got up preparatory
for more extended hunt. Young
Beavers stepped forward in front of
Lamar and then threw his gun on
his shoulder cooked. The action
caused the gun to be discharged, the
load of bird shot striking young La.
mar on the right side of the face,
tearing up the flesh to the bone and
mangling the ear frightfully. The
wound though painful ana, is not
considered dangerous by the attend
ing physician. Lamar is about Is
years Of age and resided in that por-
ton of town known as Olinville.-=
This accident should be a warning
to lads who are frequently going a
hunting unattended by adults and
arc careless and thoughtless in hand
ling their guns. From the liberty
the boys have in this sport, it is
wonder we do not have more such
accidents 10 record than we do.

fact. And we are glad to be able to assure
our readers that the Secretary Of the Treas
ury is in entire accord with the policy here
tofore announced by the President, and
that he wiz, beyond doubt, in his report to
Congress, endeavor to impress similar views
upon that body. 1t should be remembered
that neither the President nor any one of his
financial ministers has ever urged a sud.
den change Of policy in this regard, but
they have ever insisted that q steady and
gradual approach should be made toward
the specie basis. In reaching that point no
impracticable steps unjust to either debtor
or creditor class should be adopted no
sudden contraction, involving great shrink
age Of values on the one hand, while such
an increase of paper money as would de-
crease its purchasing power by undue in
flation Of values should be equally guarded
against upon the other. But to the end
that we may place ourselves uponan equal
ity with other nations and enjoy favorable
opportunities of exchange Of products of
labor with them, we should arrive at the
common measure of values which rules in
all commercial centres sat the earliest prac-
tieable period
With this record before us, it is impos-
sible to conceive of such a change in the
views Of the Administration as has been
announced with an air of authority by the
Republic. 1t is little wonder that such an
announcement from such a source was q
surprise, not only to the Administration,
but to every one else who claims to be at
all conversant with the history Of ite fnan-
cial policy and the character Of the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the Treasury for
persevering consistency of purpose and I'M
finching moral courage in the perform
ance ofpublic duty. We hope The Repub-
lie viii hasten to amend and reform its
estimate of the Administration in these re-
spects. Meanwhile, in promulgating its
views of the true policy of the party, it
should be a trihe more careful about faith
ering them upon the President.

THE NEGRO PROPERTY OWNERS IN
GEORGIA.
tChlcago Tribune. J

lOnlChBO
A Georgia journalist has been studying the
tax-books fthat State, ana has found in them
some interesting facts about the amount Of prop
erty owned by Georgia negroes. The assessed
total is %, 15T 79s. The real total muFt be con-
siderably higher, since the assessment is pre-
sumably far below the selling price, and since 8
large fraction Of the amount owned doubtless
escapes assessment altogether. The figures may
seem small to one who knows that there are half
million blacks in Georgia, but they show, new
ertheless, that the process Of accumulation is
well under way. It Is not small thing that the
penniless slaves Of 1855 should now, as ireemen,
hold o. 900, 900 worth OF taxable property. That
sum represents much patient saving. In eleven
counties colored men own an aggregate OF over
100000 worth. In three Of these counties they
own over 500 900 worth. Their possessions are
very evenly distributed throughout the State
among themselves. Every county reports some
colored taxpayers. There are not yet any very
wealthy men among them. The richest negro
in the State pays taxes on only Sl0,s05. Only
fifteen, all told, pay on more than 5000. As q
general rule, when they have any property at
ALL It Is assessrd at from $500 to 900. curious
feature about their property is that nearly two
thirds Of it is In the hands of women. Eight OF
the fifteen persons who pay taxes on more than
5000 are negresses. 1t may be that the colored
brother invests his savings IN his Wifes name, in
order to keep them out Of the clutches Of HIS credit
ors, or It may be that Fanny Kembles belief In
the innate superiority Of the negress over the
gro is the true one, and that the freedEoman has
shown more industry and frugality than the
freedman. 1t is to be noted that this property,
by Wbomsoever acquired, has not been gained By
speculation or political knavery what the ne
groes now own they have earned. They have got

THE PRESIDENT AND SPECIE
PAYMENTS.


An article appeared in the New York
Republic of Tuesday under the caption of
5 ''Specie Payments, " ostensibly replying to
some suggestions of other New York jour
nails upon that subject But, not con-
tent with the expression Of its individual
opinions upon the question of resumption
of specie payments, the article proceeded
to speak for the Republican Administra
lion. as if by authority, in the following
language ''The present Republican Ad-
''ministration, since the election of last
''week, feel relieved from all obligation to
'fforce hard money on the country. Six
''months ago the President, advised and
urged by the hard money financial people
'iof New York, did consent to recommend
the early return to specie payments. He
sieTen went TO heextent of recommending
'the repeal Of the legal-tender act of 1862,
latter given notice to the country
1t Is most unfortunate that The Republic
should have allowed ITSELF inadvertently
as we are bound to suppose, to put the
President in false position, even by in
ference. That it has done so is palpable,
as may be easily proven by the record. In
the first place, however, there is not the
slightest ground for the statement that the
Administration 'feels itself relieved in
any respect from its former position upon
Currency and finance since The election Of
last week. Neither is it true that the pc
sition of the President as announced in his
veto message, and afterwards reinforced
and explained more in detail in his memo
randum to Senator Jones, was taken at the
instance, advice and instigation of the
''hard money financial people of New
York. 1t was simply the reiteration
and elaboration Of the policy which he
had consistently and persistently re-
commended in his several annual
messages duringa number of years past.
Il was no new policy into which he had
been seduced by deceptive representations
on the part of New Workers. Our youth.
full cotempoFary cannot be expected, per-
haps, to recall with accuracy events which
happened anterior to its existence, but it

50 ignorant of the character of the Presi-
dent for adherence TO his convictions Of
duty, and his frmness in the maintenance
Of what he conceives TO be a sound finan-
cial policy, as to suppose that he would
sacrifice those convictions and reverse that
policy with each change in the political
atmosphere. Ifso, It has studied the his
tory Of General Grants military career to
very little purpose. Such vacillations are
not expected in the man who fought it
ont on single line all summer. "
For the benefit Of our cotemporary we
reproduce this morning extracts from the
suanguml addresses and annual and veto
tlessages Of the President upon the subject
~ specie payments at various times since
March 4, 1869. His views since the recent
elections have not only undergone 20
change, but be has made no secret Of that
