esty or corruption, but it seems that
others, whose names have thus far
been withheld from the public, have
availed themselves of the incompe-
tency and gross carelessness Of the
Treasurer to steal, and that by his in
competency and carelessness $152, 600
was paid, in one lump, on bonds which
had been already paid. The public
are feverish to know to whom this
money was paid, and whether any of
his bondsmen were directly or indi-
rectly concerned or interested in its
payment The public are entitled to
know, and demand to know. whether

were made from the Treasurer by and
with the consent and approval of the
Governor, and if he is equally in
volved in this great loss to the people
of Georgia, why he too is not request
ed to resign"
1t is historical that the Democratic
party was, from 1861 to 1865, to all in
tents and purposes, a reasonable or
ganization. All the weight of its in.
fuence as political party was exerted
directly or indirectly for the destruc-
ton of the government. We look
now, wherever the Democratic party
Is in power. to see reign or corrup-
ton unparalleled in political annals.
The party that would destroy the
government under which it exists
would certainly steal its revenues
whenever opportunity should occur.
We commend this view of the case to
tax-payers.-Inter-O

We shall. next week, publish the
new License Law, just passed by the
Legislature, which takes effect imme
diately. and repeats the Baxter Law.
We have not had time to read the
law, but the Indianapolis Journal of
the 10Th thus alludes to some of its
provisions:
Some of its leading features are
that 1t requires the saloon-keeper to
give bond in the sum of 81, 900 that he
will keep an orderly house, and pay
all fines and damages arising under
the act, no license shall be granted to
person in the habit of becoming in
toxicated; all applications for license
shall be published or publicly posted,
and the applicant shall state what
kind OF liquor he wants to sell; if spir-
ituOus liquors, he shall pay to the
County Treasurer 500, if wine or
beer, or wine and beer, $50, and incor-
porated towns and cities may add 500
60 these fees; liquor shall not be sold
on Sunday, nor on any holiday or cleo
ton day, nor between the hours of IL
o'clock P. N. and 3 o'clock A NJ, and
for violation of this provision there is
a severe penalty; no saloon keeper
shall sell liquor to a person who is in
the habit of becoming intoxicated, or
after notice served by the friends of
the person forbidding the sale to him;
public drunkenness is made a misde-
meanor; selling without license is
punishable by fine and imprisonment;
selling to a minor is made a penal Of
Tense, and the minor who misrepre-
sents his age is also to be punished;
the adulteration Of liquor or selling
such liquor is prohibited; if saloon
is kept in a disorderly manner it shall
be deemed common nuisance and be
closed; saloon keepers are made per
sonally liable, and also liable on their
bond to any person who may sustain
any injury or damage to their person
or property, or means of support on
account Of the use of such intoxica-
ting liquors." Other sections of the
law relate to details, and provide for
its enforcement The NEST conspicu-
GUS defect of the law, and a very inl-
portant one, is the low license fees
These fees, 500 in towns and cities
for license to sell spirituous liquors,
and $50 to sell wine and beer, are al
together too low. They ought to have
been three times, or. at the least, twice
as much. The principle of making a
distinction between the different kinds
of traffic is correct; but all the Ii
censes should be higher. However,
it is too late to talk about that now.
If the friends of temperance will see
that this law is rigidly enforced in all
its provisions, they can worry the sa-
loom keepers amazingly

The Springfield CO.. Republican,
thus truthfully speaks of this good
man and gives brief extract from a
recent speech made by him In New
Hampshire:
1.-The chronicler of the present peri
cd Of American history who makes no
mention of Frederick Douglass will
hand very imperfect record to pos
terity-and if posterity understands
itself it will brand it as bogus. Mr..
Douglass is the most conspicuous
specimen of what can be made out of
a plantation negro--and made by him.
self, too-that has lived in this cen
tury. lie came before the public
thirty years ago-when there was very
little anti-slavery feeling, when there
was no faith in the negros capacity
for manhood, and when he was, HIM
self, by the laws of the country, a
slave-and proved to the American
people that negro could be Il man
and man of intellect and feeling
with capacity for growth. To him
more than to any other one man is
the Angio-African race indebted for
the advanced position it now occupies,
inasmuch as he, above all others In
the country, gave personal illustration
to the fact that the negro was man
and a brother, and was worthy of the
best efforts of philanthropic whites
Mr.. Douglass still retains his power
among the people, and is still true to
the best interests of his race. He
does not swing backward aud forward,
betweenthe Democrats and the Re-
publicans, to ascertain which party
will bid the higher for his aid, but
stands by the men who have done SO
much for his kind. Recently, while
addressing Republican mass meeting
in New Hampshire, he made the fol-
lowing timely and truthful utterance,
which puts the whole matter in nut
shell:
Every Democratic victory costs the
warm, dripping blood of my people,
while every victory of the Republican
party helps to protect them in their
little homes. Don't punish your
friends and reward your enemies;
don't lavish all your love upon those
who sought 10 cut the throat ri the
Republic, but reserve little for those
who tried to save it to the extent of
their ability"
1t may be said of Mr. Douglass
that he, by his conspicuous genius
and manliness, taught the American
people to spell the word negro with
one g

Senator Pratt.

G.. III. Phillips, in a letter to the In
dianapolis Journal, thus speaks of Sem
ator Pratt: and the People Of Indina
will respond amen" with a hearty
good will, to the words of praise and
commentator bestowed upon him:
DAME! d. Pratt is one of the num-
Der, few though they be, whom Pope
called the noblest work of God, " for
he is an honest man. After an active
six years, he retires from the Senate
without a blemish upon his character.
He has been ever faithful to his con-
energies for legislation which rebound
the Senate have certainly been most
pleasant.
A friend not long since related to
me little incident which goes to
show the esteem in which he was held
by his colleagues. A few days before
he died, Senator Sumner came over to
the seat of Mr.. Pratt in the Senate.
He was accompanied by Wendell
Phillips. In an introduction given he
took occasion to say to Mr.. Phillips
that in Mr. Pratt he would find an
honest legislator, moral statesman
and valuable acquaintance; never
Sinking a public duty, pure in heart,
sincere ia purpose, emphatic in his
utterances, for he was ever on the side
of right. Denunciatory of corruption
in the mildest and worst form, with
rare moral character, pure and un-
stained, beloved by all, despised by
none, Mr.. Pratt retires having won an
enviable reputation and the esteem
and respect OF all.
1t is a matter of personal grati6ca-
ton to Mr.. Pratt to be able to again
retire to private life. His friends will
remember his refusal to accept Sena-
torial honors when rendered six years
ago, the Office having then sought the
man. His public duties having been
a care and burden to him, but he
has borne them cheerfully, and al
WAYS attended them with the same in
terest. from the first to the last day of
his service. The people of Indiana
should feel grateful to know that they
have been so faithfully and worthily
represented throughout the last three
Congresses. the latter just closing, and
will never have cause to regret, but
rather be proud of their selection for
Senator of such a public servant as
has been Honorable Daniel D. Pratt.

Increase of Illiteracy and De-


The Louisville Courier-J ournal, in
a late issue, throws some light upon
the causes which produce the annu-
ally increasing Democratic majority In
Kentucky, and at the same time &C
counted for the presence in Congress
of John Young Brown. 1t afirms
that the number of illiterate voters is
rapidly on the increase, and that this
increase is in greater ratio than the
increase of population; that there are
about 5000 districts in the State, and
not more. than 100 are properly pro-
vided with school houses. This is a
humiliating confession to come from
the home Of Henry Clay. If we might
be permitted to suggest remedy, we
would say, change your politics, elect
Republican Legislature. and you
will soon have a system of free schools
that will drive out. not only the Igno
rance Of which you complain, but
many of the reasonable sores that in
fest your body polite. No one imag-
ined when Nasty was describing Bas-
com and his corner store. that he was
picturing a real scene. Hereafter he
must be regarded not only as satirist,
but also as historian!

Supplies 10 the Grass
hopper Sufferers.


A serious complication has arisen
in the matter of distributing supplies to
the grasshopper sufferers. Under the
recent act OF Congress, General Pope
commenced to make distributions to
the county officers in bulk at the sew
eral military posts in the State, and
he is now instructed that the ratlons
must be issued by military officers
direct to individuals. This is prac-
tically impossible. as the destitute are
scattered over all the western and
southern portions of the State, many
of them hundred miles from a mill
tary post Governor Osborne has
gone to Fort Leavenworth to confer
with General Pope on the subject,
and endeavor to secure the resembling
or modifying of the late orders.
The State Relief Society authorizes
the announcement that it is preparing
to wind up its affairs and retire from
the field, mainly on the ground that
the failure of the Legislature to do
anything for the sufferers has left the
society in such a position that it does
net feel warranted in soliciting further
contributions.

Very great dissatisfaction is being
expressed in the Southern newspa-
pers at the vote given by Alexander
FL. Stevens on suspending the rules to
take up the Louisiana Resolutions.
1t will be remembered that without
Mr. Stephens vote the motion would
have failed. The New Orleans Bulle-
tin calls him "the Georgia Benedict
Arnold" and severely berates him as
false to the South. Indeed, every
Southern paper we pick up roundly
rates him for his vote in favor of a
peaceful settlement Of that question.
