CONFEDERATE BONDS,
EFrom the Atlanta conAtitntinn i

EFrom the Atlanta Constitution
The one thing that could possibly give the
bonds value, as far as wc know, is the fac.
that there is largo balance in the Bank of
England belonging to tho Confederate gov
ernment. 1t appears that on the 1at day of
April, 1865 when tho Confedcraey collapsed.
there was sl75, 900, or abou. 81 900 600
in the Bank of England 10 the credit of tho
Confederate government. There was also n
large amount of cotton in Liverpool boloug-
ing to tho Confederate government. This
cotton amounted to several, thonsanc bales
After tho crash this cotton mysteriously dis
appeared, and it is not known to this dav
what became Of it. The cash BELONGING to
the government in tho Bank of England was
not withdrawn. Various reasons were as.
signed for the failure to withdraw ii, ono Of
which YVES that the only person whose sig
nature to CHECK would have been honorcd
was out of the city of London when the Con~
fcderaey failed, and did not return until it
was too late to draw tho money.
About two years after the close of tho war
tho American minister. who was, we believe,
Reverdy johnson, made au attempt to draw
this money on behalf of the American gov
ernment. The English authorities held that
he might draw tho money, as the executor
of the late Confederate government, but held
that if he took possession of tho assets he
must assume its liabilities He declined. of
course, to do this, and the money remained
in the bank. Several years later Mr. Ken-
meth Raynor, who was Solicitor of the Trea.
sury, was sent to London in an attempt 10
get this money, but was met by the English
government with tho same demand-namoly.
that II he took the assets of the Confederate
government be must also shoulder its lisbil-
tiles. It is said that Mr.. Blaine ha. also
tried since be was Secretary of State TO get
possession of this money, but up to date it
remains in the Bank of England.
As it has now been deposited for nearly
twenty years it has become now a large su N
of money. and it is probable that the geptie,
men Who are engaged in buying up the con,
federate bonds may have determined 10 pet
possession Of them and then demand the
money as tile bOndhoiders and creditors of
the. Confederate government: This, hovever.
is merely suggested as the only possible rea.
son in our knowledge for the sudden demand
fur confederate bonds, and We arc not pre-
pared to even seriously suggest that SO wild
a scheme will be attempted. 1t is said by
gentleman who is shrewd fuaucier that the
visit to England of MIR. Davis, the first and
only president Of the Confederate States, and
the person probably authorized, if any liv-
ing man is, to draw the moneysof The gov
ernneut, has something to do with tho sud>
den rise in these securities This gentleman
thinks that he will probably attempt to draw
the money and have it paid to the bond
holders, though this seems an incredible sug
gestion.

his hearts content. If the people did not
know the man, and the small Democratic
vote that his district gives, they might think
he welded powerful influence. 1t is said
that, "lar off cows wear long horns" and il
strikes me that his has about gotten their
growth, for his misery ideas might have
suited his grandfather's time, but not this
progressive age. If mistake not, when he
was before the people for their suffrage, he
was allthings to all people, even proiessed
friend to our schools, for without doubt the
educational plank in the party's platform
that put him in power is one of its main
stays, and being such, the course persued by
our county officials is to be deplored, for It
is undemocratic to say the least For in this
day of negro asoendency, ought not the en-
lightenment of the white mans child to be
above all price and to be the poor mans
daily thoughts and nightly dreams until it
can be assured beyond peradventure
AS for his personal allusion to the educa-
ton Of my children it is too Insignificant
even for the head that concocted il, to try to
justify his course, for with the poor mans
suffrage he was put in the position he now
fills with such arrogance towards those who
will not follow in his wake with our empty
school houses as monuments in part of his
bad faith towards the helpless children of
the county, which is n laurel do not covet.
AS for our teachers taking little trip dur
ing vacation, that matters not, so that they are
on hand at our primaries to assist in sepa-
rating the chaf from the wheat, that is,
stopping the well working of the county's
machinery, for when the servant assumes to
be the master it is time there was change,
and the friends Of our schools will be un-
true to themselves and the living God who
gave them their little loved ones il they do
not insist that our schools be kept open the
four quarters that the makers of the law
contemplated and that the friends of the
school wish and demand, for they have
hoped, begged and petitioned until il has
ceased be virtue, PATRON.
