DAILY • CcbIi — S C«aU A Meeting of the Democratic Party of fnlloa Couoty. __ i Sun: Tbe Democratic Party of Fnlton county, must bare s meeting to nominate delegates to (be Convention to be held on next Wednesday week, to nominate s candidate for Oovernor. Tbe time ii short, and the meeting for this pur pose ought to be called at onoo. Aa I know of no person whoso duty it properly is to oall snob a meeting, I respectfully sug gest that It be held on next Monday night, tbe 27th instant, at tbe City Hall. I Cope there trill be a general approval of this suggestion, and that we shall, on that ocoaaion, have a full meeting of tbe party, to aelect tbe delegatee to which we are entitled. What say you ? and what say the party ? Fcwo*. Run mss.—We cordially approve the (ongoing suggestion, and hope it will meat the sanction of tbe Democratic party of this county. Tbe time in which to seleot delegates, hold tho nominating oonvention and the election, is fall short, and tbe; appointment of delegates can not take place too soon. We think the time suggested by Fnlton, a very good one—next Monday night. We hope it will meet the approval of the party, and that tbe meeting will be then held. Tbe Over-Issue Returned. Yesterday, Dr. Augier received at the Treasniy tbe bonds which Bullock hod over-issued to the Brunswiok and Albany Railroad, It seems that he had turned them over to Mr. Kimball, who had hy pothecated them. Tho party holding them, no doubt, had a wholesome fear of the wroth to oome, and has voluntarily surrendered them to the State. Tbe Brunswick and Albany Railroad i'rqud. tributed to the W. A A. Ii. B., worth 854,000; and adds: We have the State, therefore, indebted to the Brunswick A Albany Railroad in the sum of 854,000, with interest, if yon please, add to pay whieh tbe State makes itself liable to pay over three mil lions of dollars; and this is wlmt the ma jority of this Senato call “the best and easiest solution and conclusion of the difficulties growing out of tlio whole matter in control way.” Georgia has come to a bad pass, indeed, when it takes three millions of her bonds to pay fifty- four thousand dollars. Betides, it is known that tho Bruns wick ft Albany Bailroad was paid, in a great measure, for the iron of that road by tbe Confederate States, the money in vested in cotton, which, since the war has l>een sold for the benefit of that road; and the fund arising from this sale we understand to be under the con trol of the proprietors of this road. What this amount is wo are nnable to disoover; and we are further informed that no mention of this matter was mode to yonr committee. They then protest against tbe hill be cause it violates every principle on which State aid is granted, tho theory of which is First The entire protection of the State from loss. Second. The development of the re sources of the country. Tbe protection from octuul, certain loss is the mortgage or lien of tho State upon the railroad. But the State gives to the railroad company 815,000 per mile in gold—amounting to about 820,000 in currency—more by 82,000 per rniio than tbe entire construction of tho rood will oost—tbe average cost of railroads in the Sontb being about 818,000 per mile. Tbe cost of this road will he bolow the average, because it penotratos a section easily graded and covered with suitable timber for construction. Yon, therefore, do more than build this railroad for this company. Supposo that tho State is put to the necessity of availing herself of her security, docs any one supposo that the road will sell for (he amount of its cost ? If the rood will not pay, do you suppose that any one will pay cost for it 1 And if the State takes it upon her bands, it must of course be worthless to her. All tbe available security, therefore, that the State can have will be the rolling stock and the iron—cortoinly not worth more than half the oost of construction. The State, then, under the most favorable calculation, mast lose at least a million and a hull dollars in coin. To oomply, then, with the first qualification lor State aid—viz; tho security and protec tion of the State—the State should not indome for more than half the value of the railroad to bo constrnoted. Bnt in this case wo Lave violated this great rule, and actually propose to iudorso for un amount more than equal to the cost of the rood, thereby exposing tbe State to enormous loss, and placing it in the pow er of tho persons you propose to aid to put into their pockota immense sums of the State’s money without any conside ration. In other words, wo build this railroad far the company, and muke tho company a present of at loost a thousand dollars a mile besides. And this is what we call giving aid; and this is the way we leeuro the State against loss. When tbe late peculating body of men, yclept the Georgia Legislature, passed the bill granting such enormous swindling subsidy to those who made the building of tbe above named road a pretenu by which to fleeoe our people out of millions of money, a few men in the body, who had stood aloof from tho influence of corruption and corruptionists, earnestly fought tho passage of tho bill, for which thoy deserve the thanks of the people of Georgia. Conspicuous among tbe patriots of that day was tbe Hon. Rufns E. Lester, of Savsnoah, then, and now, in the Senate. After those who had stood with him in patriotically opposing tho great fraud, bad done all they could to prevent tbe passage of the bill without avail, he drew up a pro tect against tbe measure, which was signed by tbose Senators who agreed with him, and ordered to be spread upon tho Journal. This protest is too lengthy for publica tion in our oolumns entire, which we regret;but proceed to give the points presented -with such extracts os wo can find room for: Air. President: Tho recent passage of a bill entitled “an act to aid the Bruna- wiok ft Albany Railroad Company,” under the spar of the call for tbe previ ous question, without th - opportunity to the opponents of the measure of discuss ing tho merits of the bill, renders it nco- essary for ns to avail ourselves uf our privilege, and to enter upon tbe Journal of tbe Senate our solemn protest against its action. Were this an ordinary mat ter, we would not undertako to dignify it by such a proceeding; but conoeiving, as we do, that evils of the greatest mag nitude cluster around this bill, aud not wishing to be held responsible for them, wo feel it dtio to ourselves and to our con stitaencies to take this course. Wo protest, because the assertions of the bill, in our opiu'on, are not true, and because it does not speak the sentiments of our people. The report then alludes to |the claim that the State was liable for the damage arising from the destruction of the road daring the war—a portion of whieh waa built and in operation before that time. Those who asked for the huge subsidy of 825,000 a mile, based their claim partly on this plea: Upon what principle, we ask, did the State thus become liable 1 Did tbe act uf Governor Brown, in taking certain control of the railroad in October, 1861, upon invitation of the stockholders aud managers of the road, make the State liable f The eon tract made with the said stockholders, was doubtless com plied with, and if not, we oannot set upon what priuciple the State, in tbe face of the Constitutions and ordinances of 1865 Ad 1868, can bo held liable a. on this srar contract, if contract it be, much less do no see how she can bo made liable for a war tort, if tort it be. To advocate the principle n<-on whieh thia claim is baaed would be to acknowledge the jua- tiee of hundreds of claims amounting to many millions of dollars, and to involve the State ie flnanoiel ruin. Yet, we con ceive that thia body, in passing this bill, has ooksowledgad this ruinous principle, and has opened the doors to all war claimants, whose demands the State should pay in older to be consistent with thia pnioedenL Besides, it is well known that the low or destruction of the Brunswick ft Alba ny Bailroad was the act of tho Confede rate States, through its agent, and tba. the iron mile taken from the road-bed, were distributed for srar purposes by that government. It. then, specifies that of the iron token bom the road 608 tens was dis- dorsement of the bonds of tbe Road bj the State to tbe. amonnt of 815,050 per mile, and before the Legislature granted tbe additional aid of 88,000 per utile.

We r.ay tbe Georgia Democracy, be cause it would, perhaps, be deemed in delicate and impertinent to thrust our views upon our |>olitical friends of other HUtes, though in the^encral administra tion of the affairs of Government, we have a common interest and common des tiny, aud must sink or awim together. But as a Georgian, one of hor people, and sensitive to whatever involves her welfare and renown, we take the liberty of freely expressing oar opinion in rela tion to the duty and destiny of tbe Dem ocratic party of cur own Btste in this hoar of ite greatest peril. Heretofore, with unimportant exceptions, Democrats everywhere have stood together as a unit. This has been pre-eminently the ease in Georgia Thus united they have stood up grandly before the oountry in defense and maintenanoe of tbose great Constitutional fundamental to civil principles which are liberty and republican institutions. Their attitude before the world waa a proud one. Holding fast the profession of their faith, standing firmly upon their principles, it ie not strange that extraor dinary appliances should have been brought into requisition by tlio Federal Autocrat and his supple minions, to wrest tho political sceptre frornthem and turn over tho Empire State of the South to Radical bummers and spoilsmen. Fail ing to accomplish tbeir object by direct means, and knowing the potency of mo ney, they determined to secure by indi rection what they could not uchieve by open ussaalt. Too feustiugs androvelings —the toasting nnd hob-nobbing of the Dcluno-Cumeron ring, tilled with ring- streaked and shaky politicians of every hue nnd clime, tells the tale of Demo cratic demoralization in onr good old State. The out-croppings o! this demor alization are visible in and around the Capitol, aud unless speedily and summa rily cheeked, will soon sound the knell of Georgia Democracy. It is apparent to tho most superficial observer, that Democracy everywhere, but eBpeoially in Georgia, has reached a crisis. As a party of principle—honest Jeffersonian tenants,and faithful reforma tory practices, they can retain the confi dence and support of the people, and the control of public affairs in onr cherished State. This is of paramount importance. Occupying uud maintaining this proud position, und avoiding all questionable concessions and complications, aud com mittals, at the proper time they should act iromptly, decisively, effectually, as the rest interests of tbe country demand. By pursuing this conrse the Democratic party can best promote the publio weal and work out for itself a bright and ben- eficient destiny. Already it has yielded too mnoh to temporizing, shaky spoils men. Let us keep tlio old flog flying with all its patriotic historio recollections, and it shall lead us yet to glorious vic tory. The report then goes on to show, con clusively, that tho road will uot pay when built, aud that owiug to the oountry through whioh it posses, aud the comple tion of other roads, will make it a strug gle for existence, if not a oertnin failure. Again: Iu rendering flssistauen to persons, is important to know who they uro—to know whether or not they actually need yonr assistance. Do tbe stoekholclors of the Brunswick & Albany ltailroad need tho assistance of the State ? According to tbeir statements they ore all Northern and English capitalists, worth, accord ing to a statement we have seen, at least thirty millions of dollars. Is there a ne cessity for aiding them ? If tho enter prise is so feasible, aud the prospect of profit so groat as they represent, they will build this road themselves; and if they are not disposed to engnge thoir private funds in tlio business, it is a good reoaon for the State to bo cautious. You may conclude from this that the only ob- joct of tlieao stockholders in seeking your aid is to mako money in some way upon yonr capital and at your risk. Wo protest further, because wo con aider the passage of thia bill a palpable violation of your Oonatitntion. The lat ter clause of paragraph 5, of section 6, of articlo 3, of that instrument reads us follows: “The General Assombly shall pass no law making tho State a stock holder iu n corporate company, nor Bhall tho credit of tho State oe granted or loaned to aid any company without a proviaion that tlio whole property of the company shall bo bound for tho security of tho State, prior to any other debt or lion, except to laborers; nor to any com pany in which tbero is uot already aD equal amount invested by private por- sons,” &c. Tlio object of this provision is to give the State umplo security—the rulo being, according to tho wisdom of the framers of that instrument, that tho loan of tho State ia uot safe in hands that liavo not invested us much os they nsk the State to lend them. No suoli amount as tliroo millions of dollars, in coin, is invested in this interpriso by tbo stockholders who ask your erodit. All that wo can discover ever invested was about a million of dollars, uud this we take from tho statement of the stock holders themsolves. They have nothing to show for thiH investment, according to thoir allowing, but 65 miles of graded rood, worth, perhaps, a half million of dollura or nothiug;and this is put against 83,000,000, in coin, only one-sixth in stead of one-half. Now,"no sensible mail will hold but that if the stockholders of the Brunswiok ft Albany Railroad would invest in thia enterprise tho amount the; invest in tins enterprise tbo amount they ask of the State, the rood could bo built without a dollar from the State—and this they must do before they can constitu tionally get thia aid. We cannot close this protest without patting upon reoord tho further fact, that thia is not the first and only time the State has aided tho Bruuawick ft Albany Railroad. In 1835, the date of ita char ter, an act waa passed giving them land, —1 *•* •• in 1866 the State built the Atlantic ft Gulf Railroad, commonly known as the Main Trunk Road, at a oost of a million of dollars, to assist this very road; and now, a third time, when her stock has passed into the hands of capi talists, she asks, through theso capital iats, who are the only interested parties, and who do not need your assistance, still more aid.
