SINCE writing an irem about Mr.. Phil
brick having sold ont the support of his
paper two years ago to the Democrats,
we learn that we did him II slight inius-
tice. The amount paid him to effect n
clMLge in his politics from the course of
an earnest Republican to that OF red
hot Democrat, was ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS instead of FIFTY. We further learn
that he would not even take THAT amount
from them until he found that the Repub-
licaas would not buy him at all.

WE understand that Judge Hastings is
coming ont as an Independent candidate
for County Treasurcr-not because he
wants or expects TO get the office but to
spite Mr. Bartlett tor running Indepcnd-
cnt u few years ago when Mr. Hastings
was the regular Republican nominee. The
Judge Is quite hostile, we understand, be-
cause his declination Of the Blanchard
Wilson nomination was published. Our
exp anation IS simply that we received tile
declination with the understanding that it
was to be published If necessary. and we
thought proper to make it as pub ic AS
was his nomination on their ticket.

As WILL be seen by the ticket which we

i wel-know throughout the precinct, and

to be ample. and should the public utilize

UNDER the new Const tatIon Of
Georgia, adopted by an overwhelming
majority; none can vote in any cleo
ton, county or State, who have not
paid all taxes. The result is that one
third or one-fouith of the present
voters of the State will soon be dis
franchised. and it follows that Georgia
will lose one or two, perhaps three,
members of Congress. The loss IN
Congressman will be more than CON-
pensated by the gain in intelligence
and honesty and interest in local law
making, but Georgia shouldha I'm
tied the operation of the restrictive
law, as the STATESMAN has ever pro-
posed, to local county and town (mu-
nieipaD elections. These local govern
ments impose heaviest burdens, and
arc most disgracefully corrupt, and in
these none should vote who do not pay.
In State elections lncspacity and vice
are lost in the great mass of voters.
Roughs and tramps and repsaters and
whisky guzzlers affect towns and cities
ind not the country. The whole conn
Try can take care of itself despite the
bulness of city elections, and the
6sergia law has overshot the mark.
It protects the ballot-box properly
en00gh If the restriction did not cost
this, loss of congressional represents
ton. The law, as we have proposed
to make it, protects society where soci-
ETY. saffers terribly, and at the same
time retains the States representation
in Congress unimpared- We would
let everybody vote in State and Feder-
al elections. ~

SouhI. ne luftOer asked q
ccss.shance to procure the evidence of
one jackson, to prove by him that he
never uttered the forged field notes.
He was not tried for uttering, but upon
the count for forging the field notes.
aud therefore Jacksou's evidence could
not have availed him, and no injury
has resulted from the absence of his
eVidence-these and these only are the
reasons then assigned for continu-
ance. Ga careful inspection of the
copy of the indictment, it was found
that slight mistake had been made in
the copy, and the case was postponed
until the sixth. A correct copy was
sworn on the third, and on the sixth
OIL December the case was again called.
The State announced ready, and the
defendant again moved for continu-
ance, on account of the absence of wit.
nesses that he had taken no steps to
procure until the fourth of same month.
Ii this be regarded as the first applica-
tlon 1t shows no such diligence as the
law requires. And the application
states that he desires the evidence of J.
Z. Mitchell, Y Ferris and of f. Tracy /;
that he expected to prove by said Fer
ris that the land described in the field
notes set forth in the Indictment had
been actually surveyed by G. ii. Schley
and paid for by aliiaut. On the trial
OF the cause this fact was proven by
Schley himself, and he further said
that the survey made for defendant was
by virtue of another certificate, which,
the evidence shows, had been by de-
fendant fioated. go the fact sought to
be established by Ferris was estah-
llshed by Schley aRd not controverted.
The application states that defendant
expected TO show by Mitchell that there
was a controversy as to who was sur
veyor in Fort Bend county, and that
there was an agreement between con-
testants that whichever should be de-
ciared the lawful surveyor he would
approve the work of the other. The
materiallty of this evidence was not
discernable, and the proof was by the
ex-surVeyor. Schley, and Lott, his sue
cessor, that there was doubt about
who was entitled to the office for pe-
riod, but that there never was any such
agreement, aud these two men certain
ly knew all abodt 1t, and better than
Mitchell could, and the materiality of
Mitchell's evidence Is not now seen.
and the fact Of such agreement is posi-
tiyely disproved.
The fact which he expected to prove
by Tracy was that defendant never ut.
tered the forged field notes, as has
been stated. He was not tried for
-uttering. Should then new trial be
granted because. of the absence of
these witnesses9 1t seems to me clearly
not.
Complaint Is made that evidence To
show the custom of surveyors to per.
NIT Others to make out field notes for
signature was excluded. l cannot
conceive the propriety of showing
What Others may have done, when the |
prveyor, Schiey, whose name is 10
lese field notes, swears that he never
q IN his life permit it. The field OF
ssculation Is closed by positive and
dect evidence as to what this sur
vtor actually did. |
he last point TO be noticed is the
vaance between the starting point !

EASTERN papers say that no appro-
priation will be suffered to be madeto
maintain any line of steamers that
does not make an Atlantic port its
point of departure. The Northwest
has direct railway access to Philadel-
phia and New York, and now thai
Chicago controls railway limo even TO
New Orleans, and Eads is said to have
opened the mouth of the Mississippi,
the West prefers New Orleans to
Charleston or Savannah, and the proba-
bilities are that the West and South
west will find, in addition to the silver
bill, another measure forcing them to
cooperate in Congress. The defeat of
the silver bill will be the signal for the
creation of new party, consolidating,
as it will, the West and South,
and this question of giving sub
ventions to two steamship lines
to Brazil, one from Mexican
gulf port, may also affect the
new partisan combinations. 1t
seems that Eastern congressman think
enough done for the West and South
in hiring Eads to build jetties at the
Balize. If Eads's aims be accomplished
the great volume of the wealth of the
upper as well as lower valley of the
Mississippi will seek exit to foreign
ports through New Orleans. Its only
unfortunate for the whole country, and
especially for Texas, that slack water
ship canal, instead of 1875 miles of
river current, does not give New Or
leans access to Barataria Bay. The
commercial distance from Calves
ton to New Orleans would be
lessened more than one half.
A ship canal across the peninsula of
Florida would perfect routes fer. the
coasting trade and prove of infinite
service to Galveston and Houston.
These cities must have direct access to
the point of departure of subsidized
steamship lines, and now that the
Northwest becomes an ally of the South
there will be little difficulty in secur-
ing the intervention of Federal power
IN our behalf. From ten to fifteen

IT is well that the government Of

nor Hubbard, is especially bellicose.
