THE c0sT LOYALTY Nv GEORGIA.

THE COST or LOl iLII Nv VEVA"t-i'
The following extract from letter Just
received by gentleman Of this city ironi
Republican citizen of Georgia-one VINO
has resided in the South nearly all his liie'
and who was forced to render service to-
the rebel Confederacy in the face OF his
own convictions; gentleman. we are as
sured, OF the highest character-shows the
spirit of prescription which exists in the
South against Republicans, white and
black, and is in direct conflict with the
statements of Senator Gordon that all is
lovely in his State. When the ku-klux
were rampant in that State this gentleman
was notified to leave, because Of his po-
litical sentiments, but he deficd the Elan,
and remained. But he Is now wearled
out with the persecution he has suffered,
and the letter from which the extract is
taken is an appeal to friends here TO aid
him to get away. The writer truly anti
.cipates the consequences to Union men in
the South and to the country at large OF
triumph OF the Democratic party in our
Federal affairs, and the loyal men OF the
country who put down the late rebellion,
at the expense of thousands of lives and
millions of treasure, cannot too soon be-
como alive to the dangers which threaten
the nation. All private advices from the
South go 10 confirm the statement OF Gen.
eral Sheridan that there is at this time
bitter hostility existing and manifested,
not only against Union men, but the ma
tional authority, by the Democracy
throughout the South and in the light of
these facts none can doubt that the pro-
LESSONS OF loyalty made in Congress and
elsewhere are intended only to deceive
and mislead the people of the North. But
to the extract:
what about Louisiana hope Sheridan may
be let alone to settle these fellows. The Govern
ment never really understood our status here. 1t
listened too much to the falsehoods Of the Demo-
Gratis, and not enough to the cries for help from
the loyal men. The Republicans here now look
for trouble. Many Of them are leaving, and try
ing to get ready to leave. The spirit Of rebellion
is stronger and more defiant than it was in 1869.
The rebels already have Congress, and if they can
elect President we are gone. There will be
nothing to do but to pass again their ordinances

DEATH PENALTY

The Belfast Age of the 4th inst, in a letter
from Mr. w. NJ. Rust, its editor, who is one Of
the Constitutional Commission, speaks as follows
of what, in its judgment, the State had better do
relative to the Death Penalty:
The present indication is that the law will be
pealed. A majority in the senate is known to be
IN favor Of repeal and 1t is thought majority Of
the House is the same way. Perhaps, upon the
whole it is better that the law should be repealed.
With the public sentiment so strongly and evenly
divided upon the question, the effect Of indicting
the extreme penalty upon the murdered which
might Otherwise be salutary will be wholly lost,
and ia perhaps better to repeal the law and see
what the result will be. Almost anything would
be better than the farce which is now being en-
acted.

A FUNDING QUESTION AT ISSUE.

As authorized by act of the General As
sembly of February %, 1872, Gov. Warmoth
officially borrowed from the Citizens Bank
$1,000 on his note at Il (ty days, at eight
per cent, secured by warrants on the State
Treasury.
This money was used for legislative ex-
penses. The loan was not repaid nor the
warrants cashed. A short time since the
bank funded the collaterals, receiving for the
5000 600 in warrants $4,000 in bonds, still
holding the latter as security for the War
moth loan. The bank now offers to credit
the $4,000 in bonds at the present market
value fty-fve cents-on the original debt,
and to fund the balance of the debt and the
interest thereon to date. This offer was
made on Wednesday to the Funding Board,
and a discussion ensued resulting in a refer
ence to the Attorney General for his opinion.
The claim of the Citizens Bank has been
recognized as valid. Were the State solvent
the bank would receive principal and interest
of the Warmoth note. If the omnivorous
Funding law covers such debts the bank is
entitled to sixty per cent in bonds on the en-
tire note and interest The nice point about
the matter is the right of the bank to fund
the collaterals $500, 900 in warranty, for
$780, 900 in bonds. 1t is at the option of the
bank to fund its debt or wait for an appropri-
alton; but if funded 1t will be settled, and
the State will be entitled to return of the
collaterals in their new form Of bonds. The
bank holds the bonds only as security for the
loan; it cannot sell them and apply the pro-
ceeds as a cash installment paid upon the
Warmoth note. When the note is paid or
settled the State is entitled to the return of
her collaterals. The board should not make
fish of one part of fundable claim and fowl
Of another.

THINK OF IT.

Hard times has been the cry in our city
and State for the last six or eight years.
Everybody has loudly and feelingly bemoaned
the financial pressure under which We have 50
long labored. 1t has been found necessary to
organize Relief Association for the purpose
of relieving the suffsrings of the hundreds
of poor among our people. and calls have
been repeatedly made upon our citizens for
assistance.
Even the weslthiest among us have found
occasion to lament the depreciation in value
Of cur real estate and the universal stringency
Of the money market has been painfully ap-
parent to us all During the winter season
we found it impossible to support the places
of amusement opened for our qualification and
severe losses have befallen those who at
tempted to attract and please our fondness
for the drama No 'star," however meritori-
Gus, succeeded in drawing good houses, and
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-06-18

the reason given was our inability to afford
the expense.
Our merchants have found it necessary,
even during what is generally termed the
busy season, to reduce either the number OF
the salaries of their employees, and have been
sometimes compelled to do both. The neces-
sity for eoonomizing has been always urged
as reason for so doing. andall have acknowl-
edged the force of the claim. Business has
laneuished, our planters have been hsrassed,
and a general feeling of approaching poverty
has been felt by all. p
But despite all this, there are very many OF
our citizens who, at the very approach of
summer. feel compelled to commence max
ing their arrangements for summer tour to
Europe or the North. What little money
they may have made, or more properly saved,
during the winter season, is now to be spent
at distant watering places, where, possibly,
amid their designations and pleasures they
may for the nonce forget the cares and trou.
bles which, whilst here, they deemed SO op
pressive.
We have very near here many places where
a quiet, and even joyous summer vacation
may be spent with but little cost to the Wis
itor, and which afford ample recreation, both
for mind and body, to the tired merchant or
the weary belle who seek a rest from their Ia
bors or their winters frolics. Then, too, the
money spent is not distributed among
strangers who have but little, if any, interest
in common with us, but among our own peo-
pie, whose need we know and pretend to ap-
preciate.
This money is not lost to us forever, but in
some manner will surely be returned to us;
and thus while comforting benefit upon
others, we do not totally deprive ourselves of
that amount spent for our summers pleasure.
We have as beautiful lake shore as any that
can be found in the country, and it only
needs patronage to develop its attractions,
and make it as enticing and beautiful resort
as any in the North. Along the lines of our
railroads may be found many beautiful and
healthy villages, where the refugee from the
city may find both health and pleasure in
abundance.
Then, if We are really SO poor, why spend
what little money we have far away from
home, where it is lost to us forever, and is
diverted from channels where it might do SO
much real good, while it served our own pur-
poses of pleasure.
We commend the careful consideration of
this subject to our townsmen, and trust they
may feel some responsive echo to its senti-
ments, and some reason in its suggestions

THE BEECHER TRIAL.

This sca,adal,m mcgnatum will doubtless be
ended in few days, when there seems to be
little doubt as to the verdict of the jury.
Should they find verdict for the Plymouth
pastor, it will not be received as conclusive by
very large number of those who have had
the leisure and the patience to read the five
or six thousand pages Of evidence and the
lengthy arguments of the counsel on both
sides. From the tone and spirit of Mr..
Beach's reply to Messrs. Porter and Evarts,
we infer that he believes q majority of the
jurors to be strongly biased against his client,
and he even went so far as to hint that the
power of gold had been brought to bear upon
the case. The line of argument adopted by
Beecher's lawyers was virtual confession
Of the weakness of their case, for, admitting
that Tilton is quite as bad as they painted
him, the wrong-doings of an injured husband
cannot be accepted as an apology for the
ruin of his wife by her religious teacher.
The members Of Plymouth Church will con-
tinue to stand by their Idol in any case. but
If the hitherto reticent Bowen should finally
come out with "that secret revelation involv-
ing Mr.. Beecher's moral character" of which
Mr.. Frank B. Carpenter has just stated that
Bowen told him several years ago, the story
may probably give birth to another trial of a
still more repulsive character than the first.
On the evening when Carpenters narrative
was published reporter of the New York
Sun interviewed Bowen, who declared
that the statement was substantially
true, and that Mr.. Carpenter chad
reproduced events and conversations with
surprising accuracy after so long an interval"
Now Carpenter says that Bowen told him
that MI. Beecher had committed similar
crime years ago, and he confessed his guilt
to him. It now appears that the crime i'm
puted to Beecher is older than the Tilton
affair.
1t appears to us that the Plymouth pastor
can hardly overlook such q pointed and dam
ming accusation, and that if he fails to have it
thoroughly sifted it will place him in q much
worse position than the very unenviable one
he now occupies.
