GEORGIA FINANCES. In his messa ee
to the General Assembly of Georgia,
Governor Smith states that the balance
in the Treasury on tue 1st day of Japu-
ary, 1874. was 1922 $50 25, and the
amount received during the last fiscal
year was 3l,895, 116 sc; making the
aggregate amount charged against the
Treasurer last year. S2.8l7, ,723.11.
The disbursements for the same period
amounted to Sl.8l4. 594 %. which. de-
Quoted from the .amonnt received,
leaves hsIsnee Of Sl,OG9, l2S. So on
hand January l. 1875.
Herrepurts q steady growth in the
wealth OF the State. The reported in
crease in the value of taxable property
for the yeat 1874, is more than $50,
OOO. 900 over and above the value rs.
ported for the previous year. This in.
crease was prpdneed, IN, part. by the
repeal of the law 'exemptfng certain
amount Of property from taxation. But
after making full allowance for the re-.
peal of this exemption, it appears that
the net increase in the value of taxable
property returned was $l3, 709,376.

PreEress Backward.

IL letter: "a she fa.ssrs part 81 1865,
to President johnson. diasuading him
from interfering BY military force in
the contest between the Police Com.
miSsioners OF Baltimore and Governor
Swami. of Maryland, Gen. Grant was
outspoken against taking sides with
either. He earnestly deprecated the
contingency Of having to "send troops
into State in full relations with the
General Government, ON the eve of an
elt ction. to preserve the peace" He
added, ''if insurrection does come, the
law provides the method Of calling out
forces to suppress it." The President
was then in better company, and with
better standard to guide him. Now
he 10 com mmitted to spoils, Office, power
and absoIutism. He has made great
strides in that direction within tho
last two years. In his letter upon
Louisiana affairs, two years ago, he
said:
10 Judge OF the election and quail.
eoatlons OF its members is the exclu.
sive province of the Senate, az it is
also the exclusive province of the
House to judge Of the election and
Qualifications Of its, members; but as
to State Offices. filled aud held under
State laws, the decisions OF the State
Judicial tribunal. it seems to me, ought
to be respected"
How different this from directing or
nphoIding che offensive step of Sheri.
dan, in suppresHing one Legislature
and setting up another.

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.-A new
society has been established in New
York for the "Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. It's object is not to i'm
pertinently interfere between parent
aud child, as might be supposed from
its name. but to take such measures as
will have tendency to remove the
amount OF juvenile wretchedness in
New York city, which has its origin in
drunkenness and crime, aud its results
in want and beggary. Mr. Henry
Bergh, whose phllanthropic exertlons
on behalf of the good treatment Of
animals ore 80 we'll known, is o promi.
nent promoter Of this new society. a
large meeting was recently held in
New York. at which the claims and OBJ
]ects OF the society were made public.
1t is formed under Az ACT Of the Stute
Legislature, aud ull religious sectarian-
lsm is to be carefully avoided. The
law provides that if o child is taken
from an unfit parent or guardian, it
shall be- placed III hands where it will
be taught whatever religion it has
been trained to consider lts own rei-
gion. The counsel for the society said
shat it only contemplated interference
in such cases in behalf of child where
the parent did not keep within the
law.

The DIFFERENcE.-In her settle.
mont with Spain for the Virginius
massacre. Great Britain fixed the rate
of Indemnity at 81. 800 for euch negro
and $4,000 for each white victim
Considering that Great Britain was the
hret to toot the horn of universal!
equality, and considering that this
country has been virtually ruined by
crawling into the British dead foil, tt
above discrimination is worth a mo.
ment's reflection.
