C. W ednesday, Janssary 27, :: 1S97. Joirx Gary Evaxs for Chief Jns'ice ! May-we be spared! Would that the law was now that all judges should be elected by the people. Tiis Government, it seems, will foreclose its mortgage on the Pacific system, it ought to d:> it, and stay out the railroad business. Th^ Consutnp.on never contemplated its embarking in such enterprises. You may now gtt your tod.ly from any point outside the State, or at the dispensary only in toe State. This is the law now?j-ettled by the United States Supreme Court. The dispensary law should now t j enforced by common consenr, or repealed. iHSi>-<^ Qfi - ? Loans made by banks to tnejr own directors should, of course, be regulated by law, but legislation on the subject should be reasonable The directors are generally among the largest shareholders, and to say that they'shall not borrow at all would be very unjust.

Ti-r; Georgia Judges, Reese ax:c Swea , may not be. guilty of the charges alleged by S:ate Senate; (\irtc.\ but wc should think that i \ ould be very hard for them to con viace the poopij of Georgia that thc-i: priva.e conduct has been all it shoulc have bee-1.

Governor Ellerbe's inaugura address on the whole meets witl general approval. It is a very stron< paper, Some of us may differ witl him a? to what he says about the dis pessary, but at the same time hi w\ nls address is so straight for war< ar d manly, he will at least commaiK the confidence and respect of all on peor'e.

But that this is the settled law, every good citiz?n should see to it that whenever a blind tiger is run under this ' 'personal use" privilege that the guilty parties shall be punished. The dis-1 pensary law is on our statute book>: it is the law of this State. Those who must have whiskey, and win don't care to drink dispensary whiskey, can now order it from wherever they please. This wiU be uo viola'ion of law, but there shouid be 10 winkin/ at blind tigers. " *? r\ $ r\-f., V n - **i. AXPAYEK" aSKb iui suuib tion as to tbe publication of the report of County Treasurers. A genera] bill i was passed by the Legislature in which i it was provided that County Treasurers shall not be required or allowed at public expense to publish these reports. This bill was vetoed by tbe Governor, but at the session of the General Assembly for 1S94, a bill was | passed to the same effect prohibiting the County Tieasurer of FairGe-'d,and certain other counties, from publishing annually the itemized statements of disbursements. This biil was never approved by the Governor, bat became law by virtue of ihe provii sions of Section 22 of Article III of the Constitution of 1SGS, and section 23 of Article IV of the Constitution ! / -nr\- T c - f| f tO ox 15^0. ii iue uwtiuui ..c.. ? veto the general law, we can't see why he didn't veto this Lill. However, this is the status of the ma'ter. The Act in reference to Fairfield would have lo be ^repealed before our treasurer car. be required or allowed ;o publish these reports. We fully endorse what ''Taxpayer' sa\s in reference to the confidence of onr people in our present treasurer. We have not seen the fui! !e\'. <-f iJr. Eagsdale's bill to reguNtc the setting a-ide of verdicts by judges on the ground (hat verdicts ate against the weight ot ihe testimony. We do not know exactly how far she bill g.>e:-', but from its title v.e are inclined to think that it ought not to i pa?s if judges can not interfere in * a manifest c^.se of injustice, a litigant . will some'lines find himsc-H in a sad [ r light. Generally we be'ieve the- vcr, diets of our juries are r'gl.i, but we f have kr.own instances wheiv ihvy wholly mi-conceived tl.e is.-ui'g, and fwUt.d wivng verdicts, arcl 1ml nor ^ the presiding judge intervened, a ' g c-'i injustice would hive b c:i done. r Vve have in mind now a ca<e where 1 the defendant admitted the plaiu'ifF's " v. hole case, and to the surprise of the r attorneys on both sides, the court and * the defendant, a verdict was found in 1 favor of the defendant. The presiding judge, of course, set aside the verdict. Juries, vre believe, try to do their duty, but like all men they aie not infallible. It is very hard toperr suade a jadge that a jury's verdict i: ? wrong, and it is seldom that judge? r, set verdic:s aside. The constitution is now ver rigid Under it a i "M 3 cannot even repeat the testimony, anc I n"f nrorM thaf nrohibitir:<r him Iron: ? J.U , ? interfering with the verd:ct iscarryiis out this provision of the Constitution 1 As we understand it ibis provision ii 3 only intended to : : vent tho coarl % from influencing tLo j u y in their ver3 diet. Judges do ?u?t set aside ver. diets because ibsy h<.ve a differeni opinion of ihe testimony from tht * jury, bat only when ilu verdict i; ' against th:; weight of the testimony, r It was never a legitimate (-xe:ci.;e e of the functions of government tc s issue "aid-bonds" fov the building o "subsidized railroads." The people of the United States h;ive always hac 0 a suspicion that ibis whole bu-ine.-.' r has been tainted with t.-aud. It was s a perversion of power in a Repnb!:s can Congress to have authorized ihes( l" bonds, and it is not surprising to ic-an e now that the Government is swindled * Congressman Shaforth, of Colorado e makes some very startling statement; 0 n his speech delivered in Con^res.1 on the 8th inst., when the House o 7 Representatives had up for co-:sUlei-a f tion "The Pacific Roads Funding 3 Bill." "Ihe men," he say-, 'whe "* i r>.* n ^ ; 11 organized me '^emrai iawut ivai were at that time only wo:th property r of the assessed value of $250,000 ii California, their home, and no ft tverv a v one concedes 'hat they or their cs 0 tales are fabulously rieh." Ilovr die ^ they get rich? The presumption ii thai the? made their money out of th< road, and vet the road, according t< tr - 1 * then; has not paid enough to mee '* liabi'ities. Senator Morgan in a rc c??nt reoort on the Pacific railroads .t shows that the gross earning of ihi iL'nicn Pacific system ar.d the Centra Pacific system from 1872 to lS94 wc-ri $S?G,992,020, ar.d operating expense $12,229,852, leaving a net income o >. $374,762,108 This enormous inccmi (j has gone in paring dividends, and s wli-t is worse, in constructing new b railroads noon which the gevernmen ~ has no lien to secure the tremendou: LI amount of money advanced. Thesi c men have made fortunes at the govern ? mentis expense, and are now iinplor e in<r Congress to grant an extension o; the total debt and interest due b\ s these railroads. This business is sue! that it =hould be most thoroughly ex '' amincd. We have enough of boun - ties. The bounty seekers have bee; f in po-S' S-ion of the government lyns e enough. ?

A few weeks ago R-'prcicntalive Brosius. of Pciins; Iva-ria, dt'ivered a speech 0:1 the bill providing for the establishment cf more national banks. He inserted in this speech some statistics obtained from il;e bureau of agriculture which are very interesting. These statistics show the area of every State, the population, t!.c amount of school expenditures, amount of persona: property, rcj! property, value of farm prodac!?, amount of real e.-iiite inorlgt^es, average r.t of intorest, Value of manufactured pro iuct.-, wage? of einp'oyc.:.s in manufacturing, production of silver mines, and the j number of savings bank depositors. | The States were classified .into Mc| Ivinley States and Bryan S.ate?, and the ccnipari?on is qnit.c interesting, The McKinley S u'cs have 35.2 pe: cent of the total area, while t!:e Bryan .
