THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL

THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Governor Antoine is to be commended
for promptly graphing with the assistant
attorney general question, and giving us
an officer to act in that capacity. 1t has
been as good as settled, ever since Chief
Justice Ludeling granted restraining
order to the Judge of the Superior Dis
trict Court that the attempted removal OF
Judge Dibble from the position would not
succeed, and it was even reported to be
the opinion of Governor Kellogg himself
that he had exceeded his authority. But
until the question can be judicially set
tied one way or the other, it is necessary
to have somebody in the Office who is
capable in law and in fact Of transacting
business. The feeble health of Colonel
Field units him for service, and the re-
cent fau1 pas Of his substitute has
wrought mischief to the credit of the
State. It is no light matter to formally
accuse two important officials, collectors
of large districts, OF default in the matter
Of making settlements, when it appears
by statement from the acting head OF
the Auditors Office that they were acting
under instructions. The attorney who
represented the State, evidently was not
in confidential communication with the
Auditors office, or he would not have
brought the charge. against Collec-
tors Fulton and Redmond. We hope
Acting Attorney General Dibble will
attend to this matter with his accus-
toned thorodghness and clearness
Probably he will deem it his duty to dis
miss the proceedings against the collect
ors and instruct the Auditors Office in the
duties the law imposes. We do not like
this system of delaying settlements. 1t
is not the proper way to conduct the pub
lie business, and unless it can be shown
that some great interest of the State re-
quires delay in the settlements by tax
collectors, immediate marching orders
ought to be issued all along the line. We
await with patience some explanation on
this point.

THE STATES MONEY.

A reporter of the Picay,tne, who has
interviewed Acting Auditor Scholtz
dashes off this brilliant idea with one
hand, as it were:
Were the collections duly turned over to
The Treasurer at this time the money would
disappear like magic, as there are certain
we'll known dealers in warrants who are
ready to pounce down Immediately on the
States money.
''The States money" is very good. 1t
is excellent. 1t is equivalent to saying,
If the good manager of the Picayenne
were to give an Office check to the paper
merchant, that s'well known dealer would
Immediately '.pounce down" upon the
banks money. And it appears to be &C.
cepted as satisfactory arrangement that
it is better for the tax collectors to hold
on to the Estates money" indefinitely
than to put it within reach of the warrant
holders. As matter Of fact, the State
does not own one dollar of money. Ger
tain funds, when collected by the COL
lectors, are directed by law to
be deposited with the Treasurer, and
by him paid to the legal creditors
of the State, who are the owners of this
Estates money" to the amount stated in
their warrants. Delayed settlements are,
therefore, in fraud of private rights, and
the official who is to blame for it may be
hol1 in 1omooos FIR tho hnnefit Of tho
persons injured. The State is only the
nominal creditor. The taxpayers are the
real creditors, and the bondholders the
real owners of the money collected for
the general fund. Any surplus, if such
phenomenon as a surplus in the State
treasury should occur, would be covered
into the treasury for the benefit Of tax
payers.
We are glad to see Governor Antoine
moving in this matter. He has started

THE HOUSE RESOLUTION.

Like some of our contemporaries, the
REPUBLICAN has permitted the full tenor
of the celebrated House resolution Of the
tenth of August to escape special atten-
ton. It is one of the most important
political declarations made by such high
authority since the war. But it is one of
the things which will not grow old; it is
good at all times. We are glad to see the
executive is in full accord with the legis-
lative department on this vital subject,
and can assure our readers that the spirit
of the declaration therein contained will
be carried out to the fullest extent.
This celebrated resolution is an ap-
propriate and fitting supplement to
the fifteenth amendment, as that i'm
portant enactment was to President Lin
coins emancipation proclamation. OF
the 100 members who failed to respond
to their names, a number were absent on
leave. Notably, in the case Of Messrs.
GIBBS on and Ellis, from this State, it was
explained by their colleague, Mr.. Spencer,
that if they were present they would vote
yea. But the majority of the non-voters
were skulkers, who were afraid to vote
nay, and would not vote yea. Messrs.
Bland, of Missouri, and Reagan, of
Texas, stood up for their Confederate
principles, regardless of consequences.
They declared by their votes their hostil-
ity to the fifteenth amendment, and their
refusal to assent to the new order of Hy-
pocracn even if it did imperil the success
of the ticket in the North.

tate and contradict themselves and each
other. Out of this judicial farce has
been derived the conclusion that the
whole affair was an act OF aggression
against the whites. The traditional 'slife
and property, wife and daughter" were
in imminent danger. 1t appears nothing
of this frightful conspiracy was known
until it was brought out by the "promi-
nent" witnesses of Aiken. The
young men of Augusta certainly knew
nothing about it, or they would
never have thought of sending out young
Butler and his relative in horse and
buggy to attack the enemy in force. Gen.
eral Butler had no idea of it, as he makes
no mention of it in his celebrated letter
which was read in Congress, and upon
which alone be has been condemned by
the Northern press. 1t remained, there
fore, for the Aiken lawyers to discover
this alleged conspiracy and file it as
plea in justification of the Hamburg
atrocities. It will serve it's purpose
wherever there is sufficient gullibility,
superinduced by predisposition, to be-
lieve it. But when it is examined in the
light of reason, it will be detected as an
afterthought, fraud, and will be deemed
an aggravation of the original ofense
which it was devised to cover as a veil.
For were it true that conspiracy ex-
listed in Hamburg, the people of Au-
gusta were not the proper parties
to punish it. Nor is the alleged offense
at all commensurate with the penalty i'm
posed. A conspiracy, if proved, would,
without any overt act, be only an evil
dence of intent to commit some wrong.
Intentions are not punished capitally.
One young white man was killed, but he
belonged over in Augusta, and fell with
arms in his hands while engaged in at
lacking the besieged negroes. His death,
under the circumstances, does not illus
trate the conspiracy, since it does not ap-
pear, even by the Aiken trial, that it was
intended to invade Georgia and destroy
the 'lives and property, women and child
rem, Of that commonwealth. We think
the Aiken lawyers and the prominent wit
nesses have devised very Lame excuse
for their clients. 1t would probably have
been better to say nothing, but let the
thing die out among the hundreds of other
outrages of the kind which have occurred.
They have not disturbed the verdict, but
have only made themselves ridiculous.
