One day last week quite a crowd was collected
at Judge Smith’s office to witness a novel trial.—
Pot several days and nights previous a couple of the
fimil sisterhood had from time to time paraded our

greatest extravagances of Bloomerisin. They were
on trial for nuisance, and the b'boys had a fine
opportunity to feast their eyes with a minute ex
amination of the new costume in all its gay colors!
It is a pretty dress and in this instance not unbe
coming nor perhaps inappropriate. The “Biootn

the nuisance.

Tk« raMtc Printing.
At ib« last MMN of the General Assembly the
printing of the nett and journals, u well a* all
other public printing for the next earning two
yean, waa let oat to the lowest Udder. Oar bid
waa lower than any other; accordingly the work
baa been done at the Benner odke
It has been done at a leaa price than haa ever
before been paid for the tame work, and we chal
lenge any one to point out wherein U doea aot
surpass, in execution and qnality of the materials,
any public printing heretofore done in this State.
In the account presented for pruning ttie aeta
there wu an error. The error consisted in cbarg
1 ing double the quantity of the rule feud figure work
in the Auditor's and Treasurer's tables. The ac
count was made out from the billa ot Uie journey
men. and the amount of rule and figure work had
been doubled by them. In making out the ac
count this waa overlooked. Mr. Whileley, the
publisher of the Banner, is not a practical printer
and waa ignorant of this custom of printers to
double the amount of their work of this kind in
stead of doubling the price.
When the account wss presented to the Secre
tary of 8tate it was subjected by him to the scru
tiny of twogwa-.t practical printer*, who certified to
its correctness,‘aud upon their certificate the ac
count was certified to the Auditor nnd paid by him.
This account waa in the Auditor's office for sever
al weeks and no mention whatever made of any
error, until,.ia the absence of Mr. WAiteleyand
before be bad been apprised of tbe existence ol
any mistake, it was made a matter of extensive
public comment by Messrs Win. E. Woodruff, C.
C. Danley and George Writer Clarke, just upon
the eve of the congressional election,
t This was done to gratify private malice and to
affect, if possible, the acknowledged influence of
the Banner in the approaching election. |
Although claiming to be democrats, and each
receiving a livelihood from the hands of the demo
cracy of the state,Troth Danley and Woodru IT were
particularly unfriendly to the election of TfuCjCtl
W. Johnson, the nominee of the state democratic
I convention. 7’Ay did not rote far thr demoerjtu
candidate, although Danley, as a member of the
; convention, wss pledged to support b in, and they
; left no means untried by which they could hope
lo reduce bis majority.
That the Banner warmly advocated his election
as the chosen standard bearer of the democratic
party was sufficient to incite the bitt* r animosity
of these secret enemies of democracy to the high
est pitch against us.
Instead of any desire to save the public funds.
which Danley *j unblusaingly arrogate* to him
self, it was this uncompromising hostility to the
friends amt supporters of the democratic nominee,
which, iu this instance, awakened the peculiar
vigilance of the Auditor ol piiblic accounts and
his safety-expert and self cons itulcd assistant.
We say pecutar viyilauce, because we can ea
sily punt to instances where the Auditor's public
economy, not having been sharpened hv private
hostility, has faued to pro’ecl the interest of the
state from much more glaring errors. One of these,
the case of tton. Thomas N. flyers, has In-come a
matter of notoriety. Mr. Byers was elected to fiii
a vacancy after the meeting of the General Assem
j biy, and took his seat on the 10th December.—
Byers, although a whig, rottJAor Danley fa, Ah
d.ior, and he was paid by thd Auditor for the whole
| tune of the session, although elected and sworn
, m as a member more than one month after its
j commenoemr nt.
j In this instance the Auditor was warned that he
; was paying an erroneous account, but as Mr. By
| ers voted for him be persisted in making the pay
mi nt. Tins is only one of the instances that can
; be referred to where erroneous payments of this
kind have been made by this very economical (?)
j officer. He may seek to shield himself in this
i case behind the certificate Of t,.e presiding officer
of the .‘•enate, but the public printing was also
I certified by the Secretary of State, whose certifi
cate is made, by an express law, "a stiff eni
voucher for the Auditor,” an t if be has the r.gi t
to go behind the certificate in one case it was his
duty also to have made the correction in the other.
We have no fault to find with the course of
! Danley ; we are completely indifferent to his petty
malice against us. By his opposition to the dem
xerotic nominee he has effectually cut himself off
Iran the democratic party, and none will serl u»iy
regret his loss, it seems to us. however, that in
this instante any well meaning man would hate
| informed Mr. Wniteley of the error in his account,
, and demanded restitution, instead of parading it
1 to the public as a defalcation during tiis absence,
i particularly when, as Danley himself states, there
w as ul that very time much more than the amount
j of the errur owing to the public printer by the
.State. By acting otherwise Danley outraged v.'.ti
gatumt into which lie had solemnly en'ered.
Upon the return of the public printer, as soon
as he was informed of the.existence ■! an error in
his account, be submitted it to a committee of
entirely disinterested and competent printers. It
was afterwards submitted by the Secretary of State
to a committee of printers who could in no way be
suspected o! par on dy. although none ot these com
mittees agreed in tie result of their investigations,
the report of the last committee w as adopted and
the amount of the error by the request ol Mr.
Whitely deducted from that stilt due to him from
: the State.
1 After all these investigations the Auditor for 0u
purf,)t of muling political rap tut refuses to pay the
balance due.
The otij««.i of tb.» unusual proceeding on the
part of Dan ley and his coadjutor* u evidently to
harruss, if they can, all wt. iwou.d not join them
in their nefarious schemes for the duorgjmoathm «/

list of our subscribers.
It is needless for us now to reiterate our aasur

j rill continue to advocate the principles of the
1 great national democratic party; it will contend
j fora strict construction of the constitution, and
the maintenance of state rights. While we do
no* assume to dictate, we will endeavor to afford
' such information, upon all questions of stale aud
l national policy, as may be useful to our suhscri

j opinions for themselves. We will ever advocate

; or notorious as politicians, we wiil award censure
i or praise as may, in our opinion be justly minted.
; Our personal feelings will never interfere with our
i political duties, but, fearless of consequences to
: ourselves, we will express our approbation of good
: and true democrats, and hold up to public scorn
! all traitors and secret or public enemies to the
j welfare of th : party whose principles we advo

and justly do our duty as editors of a democratic
journal, and rely up in the candor and good sense

would add beyond calculation to the value of lands

It is not now necessary to enter into discussions

one of immense importance and great practical
utility.
Ill connection with this subject, we agree with

in which this uniter may be fully canvassed before

his infamous conduct fe derived from 4 fieri ut
sources, each Confirming the other. The fielta
1 states that the passengers by the Empire City were
loud in their evecrations. The same, paper has
a letter, dated Havana, August IS, in which the
writer says: “ I write to impress you with thqion
due! of our Consul—Mr. Owen, of Georgia. H

, we have already published it, we repeat in this

Havana, Aug. 19, INI.
My object in writing yon the e lines is to lay
I liefore my countrymen the deportment of A. E.
Owen, of Georgia, Consul of the United States, in
j regard to these victims of their own ardent appre
ciation of the blessings of liberty, and of their <le
sire to bestow tlnm upon a down trodden people.
Mr. Owen, to my personal knowledge, was called
. upon by a countryman of ours, who wished to
i learn if he had made any effjrls to see the pn. ni
j ers. In repiy to this inquiry, the Consul replied,
“Oh, these men have been placed by the I’resi
| dent without the pale of the jaw, and I shall not
I interfere with them.’’ Af er some conversation,
■ and suggest! m !i.at they m.gh not be without the
pate of humanity, the Consul concluded to write
I to the Captain Genual. At if o’clock, (several
1 hours after the execution) toe same gentleman
rilled upon the Consul, and was informed that
1 no reply had been received from the Captain-Gen
eral. 1 pun fur'her inquiry, the Consul stated that
i in his letter he had merely asked for an interview.
Democracy in the tree States.

This intelligence will create a Trcmoiwl.jua ex

I am not very much inutalwa, a feeling against
the government of Cuba which n itlniig but san
guinary revenge will appease. In undertaking
that expedition, those that Composed it knew, of
course, tie- r.»k they .ncurreu, aiul were aware of
the fate that awaited them in case of their fail
ure. Many persons at the north wouid not, there
fore. have been surprised to hear that the Ameri
cans were shot, neither would they have pitied
them; but Americans, like other people, thi. it a
good deal of the uuait.-r in which a thing is dune;
and few will read, with coldness, the accounts of
the savage barbarities mil cled on the corpses of
their fai.en countrymen. Tint conquest of Cuba
by America was never popular at the north; but
the consequence of the brutality of the .Spanish
authorities wol be, in ml probability, that mue out
of every ten of the American people north, south,
east and west will be in favor of Cuban indepen

to ride swiftly along an interdicted path. He was
stopped by a soldier, one of the armed fori tri
trusted w.th th«; police superintendence of the 1>>
c.,,.iv, *.vho etvily requested him to withdraw.—
The hot headed marquis answer'd the summons
by str.king the mn with his whip and riding on.
He was arrested and sentenced, like oar English
.ipuioi to a week's iaiprisinui-at. The affair,
i. ivever, d.d not terminate there. The soldier
was brought tie fore a military tribunal, and wa>
s ii: iced to seven days' arrest, for not enturft;

what w m.d be his course if an atleuipt should be

stantially that he was tired of agitation, and. if he
were called on for a direct vote, he should do what
was rigut. But they were not at all di«p>H»eil to
allow linn thus to dslge the question, and, alter
having shown a disposition to apostatize from his
free soil partisans, he suffered* defeat.
Among the celebrated lfoo.au Kmperors was his
namesake Julian, "the ..posfste." The Kmpe
ot Julian became a renegade to the faith of his
early years, and his name coca down to posterity
as an “ apostate." (iibbon furnishes a very inter
