seat a sufficient number of Republican {
Senators to secure his conviction with- j
shallow and infamous pretext, urged in mid the number of new and valuable
liU letter, that his course was necessary
to prevent the State from falling into
tlio hands of the old rebel lenders, is
designed to divert attention at the
North, from the grave offences for which
lie knew he must answer to the Legis
lature. The chief of these, as now ap
pears, was the transfer of an immense
amount of the Imnds of the State to
Kimball, in advance of the ermphrtion
of the Brunswick, Albany and Eufaula
Railroad, and in excess of the total
amount which will lie due when the
pad is completed. The amount of
tliese bonds is 815,000 a mile,
81,880,000 of State bonds, and 8-8,000
a mile, of indorsed bonds, making
83,300,000 iu all. The load is done
only to AIIkiiiv, nml yet it nppenrs that
Bullock has turned over all the bonds
to Kimhali, and it is believed that they
are hypothecated or sold, and therefore
he cannot get conti ol of them, or prop
erly account for them to the Legisla
ture. The penalty under the Code,
(see section 4355) for fraudulently tak
ing away the bonds of the State, is im
prisonment in the penitentiary for from
two to seven years. If he has, by mis
placed confidence in Kimball, or from
other motives, transferred these bonds
illegally, he is answerable under the
law, and his precipitate flight looks very
much as though he felt himself liable.
He fays that he will give Gov. Conley
all the information in his power, in con
ducting the Executive affairs of the
State, and it is possible, perhaps, that
lie may account for the disposition of
the bonds referred to. The impression
in financial circles in Atlanta is, tlint
they have passed beyond his control.
The question whether Gov. Conley
shall discharge the functions of Gov
ernor after a new President of the
Senate is elected, or during Bullock’s
unexpired term, or until a successor
can lie elected, are questions to be de
cided. The indications arc that no at
tempt will lie made to give the new
President of the Senate control of the
Executive office, but that an election
will lie ordered immediately.
The times call for prudent counsels.
Lot us hope that in the midst of the
pending extraordinary exigency, we
may avert the results that have befallen
some of our sister States in their efforts
to threw off the load of Radical mis
rule.
Force Defeating Itself.
The uniform history of recon
struction, says the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, from the day of the rejec
tion of the Sherman-Johnston
Convention, to the present time, is
that the policy of force 1ms been a
failure. The military power of the
Government under the disfranchise
ment enforcement net-*, has been
wielded with a view to intimidate
and crush out opposition through
fear. A Radical party has been
created under these base influences
to repress the true voice of the
Southern jieople, and give the elec
toral votes of those States to the
Republicans. But in almost every
Statu where bayonets have been
introduced to carry out the scheme,
the spirit of constitutional liberty
has risen su|ierior to the design,
ami the Democratic party has gain
ed strength in each conflict. Louis
iana and Texas are the mast recent
instances of the folly, ns well ns
the crime of such a nefarious policy.
The military outrages in Middle
Georgia, and the sweat box prose
cutions at Columbus received their
fitting commentary at the polls at
the last election.
And so it will continue to be in
Stale after State of the South.
The Democratic jmrty wifi grow
stronger and stronger with each
new demonstration of Military
!>ower, so flatly in conflict with the
genius of American institutions.
The negroes themselves, in whose
interest the proceedings were pre
tended to he inaugurated, are find
ing tint that this sort of interference
is most hurtful to their peace, their
comfort and their rights, and are
daily strengthening the ranks of the
Democratic party. In the States of
the North, the tendency of this style
of military despotism at the South
is to excite alarm for the safety of
invention.- greater than at any previous
exhibition.
The surpassing beauty of the grounds,
the immense size and admirable ar
rangement of the exhibition halls, and
the exquisite taste, and clock-like meth
od observed in all departments, added
materially to the enjoyment of all pres
ent. The attendance was very large—
reaching from 10,000 to 12,000 on
two or three days—and wc did not see,
during the whole week, a single in
stance of disorder, or intoxication in
the vast assemblage. Visitors from
the North declared the grounds the
most beautiful and commodious in the
United States, and Mayor Huff receiv
ed praise enough to s|>oil a half a doz
en less modest men, for his energy and
taste in fitting up the grounds, and ar-
ranging, in connection with the Socie
ty, the d tads of the Fair.
Space will not admit of a notice of
many of the interesting features of the
exhibition. A conspicuous object of
attention was the new Abel loom,
which weaves two or three hundred
yards of fine woolen goods a day. Ow
ing to some slight damage received in
moving it from Atlanta, the loom was
not in operation, but our old friend S.
B. Robson, Esq., Agent, was lucid
and eloquent in describing it to
the crowds who thronged around it.
The one-rail railroad, by an ingen
ious Cincinnati machinist, was in op
eration, and was propelled around the
track at the rate of a mile in three
minutes, the power being applied the
same as to a velocipede. The inven
tor claims that he can build and equip
a road, the cars to run by steam, for
about 83,000 a mile, and can carry
freight and passengers with safety and
dispntch.
A corn shucking machine exhibited
by Col. Waltermire of Rome, was an
object of much interest, and performed
admirably.
A stationary engine with the power
applied to a sort of turbine wheel, was
regarded as a valuable improvement
The trial of ten or twelve different
cotton gins, and a number of presses,
was very interesting.
The display of plows was not as large
as heretofore, but embraced several new
and highly approved models. Those
exhibited by Mr. Glenn of Clark coun
ty were much admired.
Air. Veronee’s Bathing Chair was
examined by physicians with universal
commendation, and was awarded
medal.
Dr. Hudgiu made a fine display of
bobbins, for factories, and was award
ed a premium.
The display of blooded horses was
unusually large; but it was regretted
that few neat cattle were entered.
Air. Summers of Wnrtrace, Tenn., ex
hihited a fine lot of Berkshire pigs
also sheep and cashmere goats.
The display of fruits and fruit trees
was quite large, and many rare exotics
graced the department of Horticul
ture.
The Demurest Woodruff Co., Me.
Bride & Smith, of Atlanta, A. B. Lan
des of Alontjoy Penn.,C. S. Howcro-
ton of Nashville, J. A. DeLoache,

riages, buggies and plantation wagons.
The display in Floral Hall was su
peril. Among the paintings were a num
ber of beautiful views in Nocoochee

A pleasant feature of the Fair, to
gentlemen of the press, wax the “ Edi

with special reference to the conven

Alayor Huff seemed uliiquitious,
with a pleasant word for everyiiody.
The presentation of a superb fruit

_ - 1. j
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23, 1871
To my Political Friend* and the People
of Georgia:
1 have this day received information,
the truth of which 1 cannot doubt, that
the political conspirators who seek the
overthrow, not only ot reconstructed
govemmont of Georgia but of the Uni
ted States, have secured the pledges <>f
a sufficient number of the incoming
members of the Lower House of the
General Assembly to vote without pre
vious investigation for Articles of Im
peachment against me immediately af
ter they have assembled and organized
on Wednesday, the first day of Novem
ber next; and that having adopted
sueh articles in the House a sufficient
number of Republican Senators will lie
unseated to ensure conviction ujxm the
articles so presented. I also learn that
the Judge of the Supreme Court, who
is personally and ]xilitically bitterly
hostile to me, has informed his friends
that this programme has been perfect
ed, and that he has been selected to
preside over the Senate during the
trial; and that the Senator represent
ing Gen. Toombs’ district is to lie elec
ted President of the Senate and imme
diately announce himself as, and claim
to be, Governor during the pending
impeachment and thereafter for the
balance of my unexpired term.
Upon this state of facts I have de
cided to resign the office of Governor,
to take effect before the meeting and
qualification of the new members of the
new body, and thereby defeat this ne
farious scheme of these desperate polit
ical conspirators.
By this course I shall protect my po
litical friends in the Senate from the
expulsion that lias been foreordained
in order to secure - my impeachment,
and, at the same time, save the State
from the disasters that would be sure
to follow in the wake of success on the
part of the unnardoned and unrepent
ant Rebel leaders, who, though com
paratively few in numbers, move the
masses by the irresistabie pressure of
sectional hate and social proscription.
I have maintained my official posi
tion against the assaults of these people
upon the course of equal rights and
Republican Government just as long ns
it is possible for me to be of service, and
now, for the purpose of again defeat
ing this latest onslaught of these de
stroyers, I have resigned this office in
to the hands of that noble and un
swerving friend of right and justice,
the Hon. Benjamin Conley, who, un
der the Constitution, by reason of be
ing President of the Senate, liecomes
Governor during the unexpired part of
ray term, or until a successor is electee!
by the people. No charge has yet
been brought against him, because he
has not heretofore been supposed to be
an obstacle in the way of the conspira
tor’s success. If assaults are no w made
upon him the country will understand
the purpose for which they are made.
The San Domingo Annexation plot
is carried on with a high hand. Ac
cording to advices from that “ Sister
Republic,” the President has given un
conditional assurances of speedy annex
ation—and a fleet of six armed vessels
of the United States army carry in
structions to Kick Baez against the
world.
The instructions which Secretary
Robeson has at diflerent times issued
to our naval officers in the waters of
San Domingo, and which are still in
force, are as follows:
“ Afford countenance and assistance
to the Dominican people against their
enemies now on the island and in rev
olution against the lawfully constituted
government, and use the force at your
command to resist any attempt to in
vade the Dominican territory by land
or sea.
“ This government is determined to
protect the present Dominican govern
ment with all its power. Use your
force to give it the most ample protec
tion against any patter attempting to
interfere with it. If the Haytians at
tack the Dominicans with their ships,
destroy or capture them.
“ While your force is temporarily
reduced, use renewed vigiknee to pro
tect the interest of President Baez, and
conform as far as iiossibleto his wishes.
As for myself, being divested of offi
cial position, the charges of every char
acter which these people are sure to
make and proclaim against me can he
brought before the courts, and I shall
never shrink from any judicial inquiry
that is divested of political bias and pre
judice. Alay I be pardoned for a word
of warning fo the men who fought for
the Union ?
Six mouths ago in Georgia the mass
of the people were acquiescing in the re
sults of the war, and were willing to ac
cept those results as being finalities,
but under the late public teaching of
certain old leaders who need not be
heed but poiqt to the public and pri
vate utterances of those who were fore
most in secession and rebellion, and
now denounce and ignore the funda
mental law—the Constitution of the
United States. v
Will the country heed and take care,
before it is too late to prevent another
war with its frightful consequences 7

been postponed until after themeetiug

and there would have Deen no check
upon the wholesale repeal and destruc
tion of all the great measures of reform
and progress that we have labored so
hard to establish. The free school sys
tem would be abolished, the colored
citizen denied every right guaranteed
to him, and the whole work of inter
nal improvement ciriie«l du by north
ern capital would lie swept away. The
growing spirit of lawlessness and pro
scription for opinion’s sake is daily ren
dering the property and liveiyff Union
men and Republicans more and more
unsafe, and I fear the worst consequen
ces if the Executive office should be
filled by one not only in sympathy with
those who urge on and inflame this
feeling, but who is moved and actuated
by them. With no cne in the Execu
tive office to call upon the General
Government for protection, its friends
and supporters would be handed over
ithout mercy to the assaults of their
enemies
For these reasons I have determined
on this step, believing that much which
has already been accomplished can be
preserved throngh the wise and firm
check upon revolutionary measures
that will be given by Gov. Conley in
control of the Executive branch of the
Government, and that thereby the
good of the whole people of Georgia
ill be promoted; and I shall cheer

formation and assistance within my
power tl»t he may desire.

out regard to the truth and validity of j

are utterly false.
2. That the statement in the same
letter to the effect that any known por
tion of the people of Georgia have re
cently denounced or ignored the Con
stitution of the United States is utter
ly false, and grossly defamatory of the
people of this State.
3. That there is a vacancy in the
office of Governor iu said State, and
that, in the opinion of this General
Assembly, President Trammell, of the
Sena’i*. «h> is entitled, ex-otfieio :>s

ate lie appointed to wait on the Hon.
B. Conley, who as a former President
of the Senate, is now exercising the
powers of the Executive Department,
and communicate the third of these
resolutions and report what he may an
swer thereto.
Another Swindling Feature.
The Bonds which Gov. Bullock has
issued for the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad are payable in gold—known
as “ Gold Bonds.” Not one word is
said aliout gold in the charter or the act
granting the additional 88,000 per mile,
on second mortgage bonds.
• The Legislature, in one of its corrupt
aud plundering schemes, afterwards,
passed un act that all the bonds issued
by the State, from that time fortii,
should be payable in Gold. Upon this
ex post facto authority, Bullock has is
sued Gold Bonds to Mr. Kimball.—
We know not what view a court would
take of the legality of this proceeding
—unless the judge in sueh case shuld
be a friend, apologist and extreme
political ally of the Governor—in
whicli case there could not be much
doubt; but to common sense, honest
meaning people, there is but one view,
whicli is, that the issue or endorsement
of Gold bonds for this road is a viola
tion of the true spirit of the law and an
intentional fraud.—Atlanta Sun.

From Atlanta.
The Chronicle Sentinel of Oct. 31,
contains the following special dispatches
from Atlanta:
To-nigh* the city is thronged with
members of the Legislature, candidates
for the various offices in the gift of the
General Assembly, and lobbyists.
Nearly all the members of the Leg
islature are in the city, and only a few
counties, in remote jiortions of the
State, remain unrepresented.
There has lieen a continued discus
sion of Bullock’s resignation and flight.
The general belief prevails that he will
never dare return to the State of Geor
gia again. He is evidently going to
change his base for good, as his elegant
piano and handsome carriage were at
the depot to-day for shipment to him.
He could not get off with the plunder,
for the property was attached and is
held here. So the fugitive Governor
will have to worry along without music
for the present, at any rate.
The question of the day is the status
of affairs in the Executive Depart
ment. A variety of opinions are ex-
iressed on Conley’s right to exercise
Executive functions after the Senate
shall have chosen a President. From
what I can learn, however) the Legis
lature will adopt the following line of
policy: They will allow Conley to re
main in the office for the present, but
will order an election for Governor, to
take place within thirty days after an
organization is effected.
The organization of the General As
sembly has not yet been completed by
caucus. A meeting of the members of
the House was to have been held hist
night, for the purjiose of making nom
inations of officers, liut on account of
the absence of some of the members, it
was postponed until this morning at
nine o’clock.
Major J. B. Gumming is here, and
has made a very favorable impression.
His friends are working vigorously,
and seem confident that he will get the
nomination.
Hon. J. Al. Smith, of Columbus, is
a strong candidate for the Speakership,
and has many friends here. The re
sult of the contest is very doubtful.
Col. J. D. Waddell seems to have
the inside track for the place of Clerk
of the House. L. Carrington has with
drawn in his favor.’
The organization of the Senate lias
been settled. Judge W. 51. Reese au
thorized his friends to state that he was
not a candidate for the Presidency.
The friends of Judge John T. Clarke
are actively pressing his claims for the
United States Senator ship. The
claims of the different candidates for
this office will lie submitted to a party
caucus, in order to secure harmony of
action, aud there will lie a general ac-
quiscence in the result. 3
Kimball’s nroperty here, consisting
of various odd? and ends, have been
levied on for debt.
The Sun says the Democratic Sena
tors have unanimously made the fol
lowing nominations for officers of that
body :
For .pcrmanrnt'Prefi lent—L. N.
Trammell.
For President pro tem—B. B. Hin

For Secretary of the Senate—T. W.
J. Hill
For Door Keeper—G. Whit Ander

For Alessenger—A. J. Cameron,
From the proceedings of yesterday
we learn that the above gentlemen

In the House, J. 51. Smith, of Mus

Waddell, Clerk.
Mormon Troubles.
Salt Lake, October 28.—Trouble
is apprehended when Hawkins’ sent
ence is delivered. The women seem
most excited, and Federal officials have
received threatening letters. Brigham
Yount; has left the city. Evidently
something important is pending, but
the Gentiles generally don’t apprehend
resistance to the law.
The Herald special from Salt Lake
City, of the 27th, says it is stated in
official circles that Brigham Young is
120 miles south of this city, with his
course still onward. It is not known
to what point he is bound. Some
think lie will leave the country; others
that he will find a refuge in St. George,
300 miles from here. It is certainly
doubtful whether he will appear for
trial, and whether the head of the
church will be seen agniu here until
the trouble Ls over.

Action of the Democratic Executive
Committee.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee assembled in Macon last
week, and had a full and free con
sultation. The following resolutions
were adopted :
Resolved, That the fruits of the vic
tory achieved at the December election
cannot be secured without thorough
organization. We reiterate the opin
ion previously expressed by this com
mittee that men of character and abil
ity should be nominated for office, and
it should be regarded as a patriotic
duty to support and elect them, though
individual preferences have to be aban
doned.
Resolved That the people of Geor
gia and this committee have an abid
ing confidence that the Democratic
Legislature, soon to assemble, will be
guided by “ Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation that its action will be
discrete, its enactments just, and its
administration honest and economical.
Resolved, Thathe tcommittee believe
the reports of the existence of Ku-klux
or other secret political organizations
in this State, which have induced Con
gress to take action on that subject, are
wholly unfounded. That there have
been acts of lawlessness and violence
cannot be denied, but they have not
been instigated by any partisau motive
or feeling. The ill-advised use of the
pardoning power, by whicli notorious
criminals have been relieved from the
punishment due to their crimes, has in
some instances, excited persons to acts
of violence which would not have oth
erwise occurred, and which we unhes
itatingly condemn and disapprove.
Heavy Robbery.—On Friday
night, as the venerable Dr. 5Ieans, of
Savannah, was entering the car he was
robbed of his gold watch and pocket
book containing eleven hundred dollars.
The watch was presented by the stu
dents of Emory College to Dr. 5Ieans,
on the occasion of his retiring from the
presidency of the college, and was
highly prized liy him. He advertises
in this l«sue, promising that if the thief
will return the watch to certain parties
mentioned, lie will leave him with the
pocket book and his conscience. An
other instance of the folly of carry in;
valuables about one’s person on such
occasions ns the fair lias been. We
sympathize with the Doctor, and hope
