Who Will Do IT.?

Colonel c. G. Jones, Jr., of Augusta,
calls attention in the Chronicle and Con-
stitutiOnalist. of that city, to the ap-
preaching auction in London Of the most
valuable collection of americana, the
property of the veteran antiquarian, Mr..
Henry Stevens. Among the books to
be offered are two manuscript quarto
volumes appertaining to the colonial his
tory of Georgia.
With reference to these volumes, which
contain the records of the weekly meet
ings of the Board of Trustees for the
establishment of the colony of Georgia,
held between June IA, 1873, and May "a,
| 1744. Colonel Jones remarks:
Upon these pages are spread the &C
| tiOns of the Common Council. of the
Board of Trustees, of the Committees of
Correspondence and Accounts, and many
minute details respecting the offices,
agents, servants, clergymen and settlers
engaged in the foundation and develop
ment of the colony. These documents
have never been printed. They exist
only in manuscript, and are written in
| the neat, small round hand of Sir John
Perceval, the first Earl of Egmont, and
| the President of the Board of Trustees.
As General Oglethorpe was the founder
and spirit of the colony when planted
upon Yamacraw bluff, so did the first
Earl Of Egmont remain the III of the
enterprise at home. These arr The Lon
don records consolidating the ! ports. as
they were received at the home office, of
the incidents and progress of the colony,
and perpetuating whatever of moment
was suggested or attempted in London
by the Board of Trustees in support,
countenance and development Of the in
FAINT plantation.
Colonel Jones aptly styles these vol
umes the "Siberline leaves" of Georgia
history, and voices the sentiment of every
true Georgian when he expresses the
hope that the Governor will effect their
purchase. He throws out the sugges
ton that, failing action on the part of
the State, or in the absence of ready lash
in the treasury of the Georgia Histori
cal Society to be applied to the purchase
of the volumes, some public.spirlted
citizen effect the same The sale will
come off from July 18th to the 18th
next at the rooms of Messrs. Wilkinson
& Hodge, Wellington street, Strand,
London. The volumes are numbered
239 in the printed catalogue, and it is
suggested that they should command a
bid of two hundred guineas.
The Georgia records, as kept by
Colonel VIM. Stephens, were sold in
London some years back, and are now
locked up in Thirlestane House, Chelten-
ham, where they are jealousy guarded
1t is sufficient to state that the records in
question are to be offered for sale. Who
will purchase them for the State and
earn the thanks of his contemporaries
and the grateful remembrance of
posterity?

Tammany Hall on Thursday issued

Tammany Hall on Thursday issued a
manifesto, signed by the Grand Sachem,
Augustus Schell, with reference to the
approaching celebration of the fourth of
July. 1t concludes as follows: "The
time is opportune for one grand rally
for constitutional rights. The effete
Republican party is now staggering to
its death under the load of hypocritical
pretenses and false doctrine, which is
more than it can bear, and at this very
moment it is almost disrupted by the
disgraceful fight now waging between
the Executive of the United States and
the late Senators of this State on the
ignoble issue of the distribution of pat
ronage. One more effort on the part of
the people and the enemy of progress
will be overthrown and liberty re-estab
lished on the foundation laid in 1776."

The case of the nnunrnnnnnt r,rosOo,,

The case of the government prosecu-
ton against the star route ring will prob
ably not be laid before the grand Jury
for two or three weeks yet to come.
There is no brag nor buster about the
work of the government. Not more
than three or four persons know what
facts the prosecution have collected.
Many special agents have been engaged
in collecting evidence, but the operations
OF one agent have not been known to any
of the others. The impression is daily
gaining ground that the government has
sufficient evidence in its possession not
only to destroy the ring, but to land its
principal members and their subordinates
in the penitentiary.

Interviews with Grant are becoming
as common as Mr.. Vennor's weather
bulletins. In fact, since he was brought
so outrageously dead to rights at the
New Orleans quarantine station on his
return from his jobbing trip to Mexico,
he has humored his spleen to the full
Just to think that 'that man Garfield"
should presume to foist ''that other man
Robertson into the berth that Murphy
filed so acceptably when Sir Oracle was
imperatively absent To go back on 'my
friend Conkling" was bad enough, but
to take the time, of all times, when his
staunchest hacker was not at hand to
help him. No wonder the great man
frets Viewed up with the common
herd, when a dead head pass offered him
immediate transit to the scenes where
shekels are raked and the great are
courted, why should he not fume2
And then, too, he finds that his Mexi
can concessions" and his friends fight
are not engaging the public eye so much
as certain candid criticisms on some of
his earlier achievements, made by an in
dlvidual who has no right to lift his
voice, much less to be paid for doing so.
It's awful to contemplate, but JEFF
Davis is, for the time being, a bigger
man than old Grant. Liar and cow
ard" are the choice comments he makes
on statements of Mr.. Davis, which it is
morally impossible that Grant has read
for himself. He has freed his mind at
Chicago, Pittsburg and New York. The
first outburst was Conkling and Garfield.
the second Davis, with some repetitions
of the first, and now he comes back to
the first grievance. Spare us from
morel
1t may be the proper thing to quote
the great man as long as he thrusts him
self on public notice, but the hero of
Appomattox is about as politically dead
as he well can be- He got his death
blow at Chicago and his friend Conkling
dealt it. 1t is doubtful, if he went to
Albany, if he could move the "half-
breeds" as could Mr. S. J. Tilden, should
that gentleman care to undertake the
task. There is no elective Office that
Grant could shine in-and his best
friends know it. He used to be credited
with good horse sense" though devoid
of culture He stood a great deal of
deserved abuse with commendable sto-
lidity, and if he would command public
tolerance for the remainder of his days
ne should stick to looking out for good
things, which from his boyhood days he
has been fortunate in coming up with.
In the hands of the interviewer he is
soon pumped dry. He is out of politics
and he ought to know it. At one time
in his career he gave some slight mani
festations that he had acquired little
of the dignity which his exalted position
is wont to confer Now his vaporings
are accompanied with the mannerisms
of the bully and smack of the lanyard.

Wickham, Dezendorf, Jorgenson ct al.
had friendly talk with Garfield few
days since, as announced in the dis
patches, in reference to the political af-
fairs Of Virginia. Reports of what oc-
CURED at the meeting are by no means
definite. MIR. Garfield is credited with
having taken high moral ground in be-
half of the maintenance of public faith
and credit, and relegated the question of
fusing with Mahone's free lances to the
judgment and discretion of the represen-
tative Republicans of Virginia
On the other hand, colored pilgrim,
who was of the party, expressed himself
as being unable to detect wherein Mr..
Garfield had given counsel sage or other
wise AS he looked at it, they were as
well informed of Mr.. Garfeld's views
with regard to the problem when the at
tendant dismissed them as when he
ushered them into his presence. The
delegation began a series of set speeches,
more or less calculated to impress Mr.
Garfield, but he, with an adroitness wor-
thy of Hayes, got them down to COM
monplaces, and there, so far as posi-
tiveless in the reports goes, the mission
of the visitors ended.
The Virginia Republicans, whether on
general principles or from whatever
cause, rather discount the wedge"
theory of 'liberalizing" the South, and,
from all appearances, will stand up and
fight on their own line. They propose
to go right on with their convention and
will shortly have an organ at Richmond
to present their case.
They are wiser than Mr.. Garfield, if
he be really as unanimous for the Ma
hone trade as he was erstwhile reported
The trade proposes a division of spoils
in Virginia. Under the trade the Re.
publicans can only get proportion. In
triangular fight some one must go
under, and they calculate, with reason,
that all they have to do is to take posi-
ton in any considerable force and the
''divvy" is blocked. With Malone as a
power they must share. Shorn of his
power all is theirs.

An occasional Republican organ pro-
tests against a Readjuster Republican
coalition, but the majority approve it or
are silent If the policy of the mana
gers was to bring about the coalition,
and at the same time furnish loophole
for conscientious Republicans to declare
the coalition to be unendorsed by the
party, the proportion of the approving
to the protesting organs would probably
be arranged about as at present. The
Philadelphia North american is one of
the minority 1t "disdains to believe
the report that President Garfield has
concluded to aid the Virginia repudia-
tors with all the influence of the ad-
ministration, and predicts that an
open and active participation by lead
ing Republicans in the Malone campaign
this year will make the FOrty-eighth
. Congress Democratic in both branches. "

ment of Rev. DR.. Peck, of Brooklyn,
that eight hundred years of labor by
eighty revisers has demonstrated con
clusively that there are no fatal errors in
the New Testament, and offers to prove
to the satisfaction of any ten scholars,
who may be selected by competent
authority. that important doctrinal
changes have been made in the revision
that one of the most familiar verses is so
radically erroneous that the entire sense
of it is perverted, and cardinal doc
trine of Christianity overthrown, and
that several other verses in the same
chapter are equally erroneous. This
person is a monument of modesty. He
has spent twenty five years studying the
Bible, and only asks $25, 900 to prove
that the revised Testament has under
mined its infallibility.

The release of Colonel Buford, who
murdered a Judge of the Kentucky SUI
preme Court in cold blood. fIom an in
sane asylum after an imprisonment of
less than a year, suggests the necessity
of some change of the law to meet such
cases. There should either be more eau
tiousness in accepting q plea of insanity
in murder cases, or the commitment TO
an asylum of murderers who have sue
cessfully made such plea. should be so
conditioned as to ensure their detention
when it becomes manifest that the plea
was false or mistaken. Certainly society
should be protected in some way.

General Grant is probably correct in
his statement that the New York Col
.lectorship is the prearranged price paid
for his Grants defeat at Chicago last
year When nearly or quite all the fat
Offices of the country were peddled out
for campaign services and funds, it is
very unlikely that the most lucrative
one of all was overlooked. 1t is "big
pay" but then the service rendered was
also great.

GREAT WORDS OF GREAT MEN,

they all escaped. Garfield has said of
the "star route" frauds: go 10 the
bottom of it-nobody is to be saved
and accordingly they will all be-well,
we will see.

The war of the factions in the New

choice is made. The public is growing
very sick of the inconsequential pro
ceedings at Albany"
