Constantly
FAMILY AND FANCY GROCERIES
j left our homes upon this mission of
1 love and charity, that an attempt has
I been made to insult us or our labors.
I This is characteristic of the treat
ment extended to other agents for
Southern Relief Associations by the
people of Chicago at the dose of the
war, and wo would be more than hu
man if we could entirely forget them.
The “ Republican Company” was one
of the severest sufferers by the late fire,
and while we have no idea that a tear
has been shed in all the South over
their misfortunes we trust that no
body South has taunted them by re
ciprocating their insulting gifts to. the
Southern Orphans.

Democratic Convention.
A Convention of the Democratic
ywtv will assemble in Atlanta on Wed-
a**lay, the sixth day of December
nrxt, at ten o’clock A, M., to nomi-
iiiate a candidate for Goventor.
By direction of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
CLIFFORD ANDERSON,
Chairman.
The Democratic Couventlea Xercatenti
The suggestion for a National Dem
ocratic Convention, on the 22d Febru
ary, made by Mr. Vorhees, as reported
in another column, appears to us a very
t i mely and sensible movement There
is a manifest tendency to disintegration,
j:rowing out of the divers views of lead
ing members of the party, as well as
-from the results of the recent elections.
The causes for this lack of harmony
and of confidence are believed to result
more from a want of thorough under
standing between the representatives of
Nbe different sections, than from any
nea' falling off in Democratic strength.
At any .rate, * convention would dis
close theexteut of the sectional diverg
ence, and the weight of the reasons
m^ged for a modification of the issues
with Itadtealism. Timid -and ambitious
men grow despondent and restive under
defent. Good men and true prefer to
battle on for tho right, let the eagles of
victoir perch where they may.
It seems too evident to admit-of
doubt, that there is more necessity than,
over for a square “ stand up” fight .with
the centralizing usurpations of the Re
publicans. We cannot make -such a
fight under a passive cam|iaign ; nor
by supportings “ conservative”'Repub
lican. i
The results of the last few years -of
Radical rule have demonstrated the
correctness of old Democratic princi
ples. The oppressions of the tariff, the
waste of the public domain in corrupt
and extravagant land grants, the plun
dering revenue system, the attempt to
throttle the vigor of stateship, by Con
gressional interference for the most
petty political pretexts—these and ma
ny other issnes stand out in naked bold
ness and deformity, to warn the people
against perpetuating Radical misrule,
aud to convince them that the princi
ples of thehiii Democratic party are
Jive principles still.
We would like to see a calm national
council on these questions. We dc not
believe it would result in an abandon
ment of the Democratic organization;
but whatever the result, it would prob
ably quell internal dissensions, and se-
cura a united canvass against Grant
and his retainers next year.
Sympathy for Ublcngo.
It has pleased some of the menda
cious Radical writers at the North to
attempt to make political capital out of
the alleged paucity of contributions in
aid of Chicago from the South. They
ignore entirely the fact that material
contributions have been made from the
South, notwithstanding the general
impoverishment of opr people, and the
numerous insults w*i\w(l at Chicago
by agjepte for .-Southern relief #a»ocia-
jjjvt the close of the war. T&®

Esteemed Ladies : In response to
vour request for a contribution to build
houses for destitute children of deceas
ed Confederate soldiers, please find in
closed $500 in the currency of the de
ceased Confederates. You say that
“the shrinking delicacy and pride of
the Southern people forbids the idea of
conducting the establishment upon the
principle or plan of ordinary charity.”
We cordially coincide with this policy,
aud as ordinary charities are supported
by “ greenbacks," you will appreciate
’ that lofty sense of chivalric propriety
which leads us to contribute to the
support of your enterprise a currency
which is opposed ip al) respects to
greenbacks.

The State Road.
Report of the Committee of Cicizens.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25,1871.
7b the House of Representatives now in
session:
In compliance with a correspondence
which weherewith enclose, marked ex
hibit A, we took formal possession
of the books and paperaof the Western
and Atlantic Railroad on the 28th day
of August, 1871, and have been en-
since that time in bringing up
said books for the purposes of showing
foe balances.
In view of foe short time we have
been engaged, and the vast amount of
labor necessary to be bestowed, we
have to regret that we are able only to
make a report to the dose of the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1870, as
you will find from statement annexed,
made up by the General Book-keeper
in charge, which we respectfully sub
mit with his report, marked Exhibit
B, in accordance with a resolution of
your honorable bodv passed November
24,1871.
In addition to the work done on the
books we have carefully recorded all
the vouchers taken during Mr. Blod
gett’s administration of the road, be
ginning January 1st, and ending De
cember 27th, 1870, (the day the les
sees took charge.)
Except vouchers No. 6, dated Feb
ruary 15th, 1870, from Josephine
Buck, for $4,000 00.
Voucher No. 20, dated March 27,
1870, from James Sprout®, for 81,-
500 00.
Voucher No. 71, dated March, 1870,
from William White Jr Co., for $3,-
000 00
Voucher No. 60, dated July 30,
1870, from Jared I. Whitaker, for
66,587 50.
These four vouclicrs were never
turned over to our committee, aud, ns
yet, we have been unable to trace them.
We have thought proper to copy
the* vouchers, which has taken no
small amount of labor, iii order to fa
cilitate such investigations as might Ik-
determined by the LegL-luture, into tiic
late management of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, and for the further
purpose >of more effectually securing
the reeords of said administration.
The vouchers are copied into blauk
books and properly indexed so that
they become ready and valuable refer
ences, in the hands of an investigating
committee.
Referring to foe books and papers of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad it
were perhaps pvaper to say that they
show a liberality in general expendi
tures, by the admitristration in ques
tion, of gigantic proportions, the heav
iest of which took place from October
1st to December 25th, 1870.
As partial evidence of this peculiar
liberality in disbursing the people’s
money by Mr. Blodgett’s administra
tion, we give the following comparative
statement of receipts and disbursements
under the mauagament of the road bv
Major Campbell Wallace, Colonel E.
Hulbert and Captain Foster Blodgett.

Messrs. C. L. Redwine, C. C. Ham
mock, E. E. Ratcson, Committee in
charge of the books and papers of the
West'em and Atlantic Railroad:
Gentlemen—I have tfie pleasure
to hand you herewith statements of the
Earnings and Expenses, also a Finan
cial Statement of the Western and At
lantic Railroad at the dose of the Fis
cal Year, endmg September 30th 1871.
Having been appointed General
Book-keeper in charge, September 1st,
1871, with’ competent assistants, the
duties involved in making up these re
ports have been enormous. Upon an
examination of the books, I found they
lmd not been balanced since January
31st, 1870, (which is the date of the
last balance made by myself.) Sever
al attempts had been made, showing
forced balances, which necesitated a
thorough investigation by checking
over the books of the road from Feb
ruary 1st, 1870, to' September 30,
1870. In doing this, numerous errors
were foaud, which will affect some of
the accounts.
I find that no settlements have been
made daring a period of eight months
after the road was leased, with the At
lanta, Kingston, Dalton and Chatta
nooga agencies. The different agents,
since by appointment, requested a set
tlement, but I have informed them,
that owing to the condition of the books
of the road, nothing could be done with
their accounts until the books were
thoroughly examined up to the time of
thb lease, at which?time their accounts
would be in a condition for adjustment.
The labor of adjusting and complet
ing the business of the road from Sep
tember 30th, 1870, up to, and beyond
the lease of the road, will be very ar
duous. The accounts with agents and
connecting roads will require a thor
ough investigation, and will consume
several months to perfect settlements,
etc.
Thanking the gentlemen who have
assisted me in these labors, and your
committee,
I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
B. F. Moore,
Genera! Book Keeper in Charge.

A Demt-crattc National Convention.
Tekke Hcte, Ind., November 27.
—Hon. Daniel W. Yoorhees, in a
card published iu the Journal,' of this
city, proposes an important Demo
cratic party movement. He says:—
“ I keenly appreciate the importance
of an authoritative expression of prin
ciples, which are to guide us in the fu
ture us in th > post. It should lie made
at an early date, in order that organ
ization shall be perfected and confi
dence restored by the time the appro
aching campaign is open. This, how
ever, should be the work of a National
Convention, embracing delegates from
all the States. I a in iu favor of call-
in"- such a convention at some central
point in the Wes/-, on a day not later
than the 22d of February next. The
call should be issued 1'V the National
Executive Committee, and delegates
should be appointed by State and Dis
trict conventions. The business of this
body should he to carefully aud pa
tiently weigh ail views laid before it;
to agree upon and publish a definite
declaration of principles upon all nta/<;
ters affecting the political character
and safety of our free institutions.—
This being done it should adjourn to a
day Sided for nominating A candidate
for the Presidency, In the. meantime
the people of the States can discuss,
approve or disapprove of what has
done been. It would be the duty of
all Democrats taking part in politics
to submit to the voice of the majority.
If there are such as prefer their own
conviction, even to the platform of the
National Convention, they can step
aside in quiet, without emborrasing
any body else. Let us, however, have
political as well as personal harmony,
and success is within our reach. If foe
entire Democratic vote can be consol
hfolted and brought to the poll?. Gen
eral (Grant cannot be releccted. .It
was voters in our party that stayed at
home on foe date of the late electino
which wrought such wide-spread de
feat. •There is no increase of the Re
publican -vote. I make the above sug
gestions, .knowing that it is entirely
practicable and that it meets an ur
gent demand of the present crisis. I
shall respectfully urge fois upon the
National Executive Committee and
ask for it the favorable consideration
of conservative men everywhere."

A Horrible Death—The Ef-
fkctu of Eating Diseased Meats'.
—There seems to have been a case of
trichinae on Monday, tojudge from the
following verdict of the inquest held by
Coroner Coleman, yesterday, over the
body of an unknown man at the guard
house in this city. Dr. Gibbes made
the pod mortem examination, and the
jury returned a verdict that the de
ceased .tame to his death from" aqunn-
tjty of cellular bodies all through his
muscles, and in the muscular tissue of
the heart and on its surface. These
cellular bodies are cysts, containing a
species of worm, which was caused by
tne deceased eating diseased meat.”
In the above case, jwfmorfm exami
nation revealed the met that the man
was literally filled with trichina, the
most of them as large as a pea. They
were in his heart, in his brain, and in
An Illustrated MontUg Journal claimed

NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthustoiie support so readily accortled to
tiioir.enierprise, wherever it has been introduced,
has convinced tjie publishers of The Aldine of the
soundness of tkeif theory that the American pub
lic would rccogulze and' heartily support sny siu-
etre cUbrt to elevate the toh* antistandard of illus
trated publications. That so uaay weakly wicked
sheets exist and thrive is not evidence that there
1* no nurket for anything bettar-~iodced the sue-
(.ess of The Aldine from the startjxdjrect proof of
the contrary. With a population so vast, and of
such varied taste, a publisher can choose his pa
trons, and his paper is rather indicative of his own
than - f tit* taste of the country. Asa.guarantee
of the excellence of this department, .the publish
ers would beg to announce tipring the coming year,
specimens from the following eminent American
artists: '

' These pictures are being reproduced .without re
gard to expense by the very beat engravers in the
causin', end wUI bear Ihesereteet critical compar
ison with the best foreign work, it being the deter
mination of the publishers that The Aldine shall
he a successful vindication of American taste in
competition with any existing publication in the
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
Where so much is raid to illustration and get up
of fhe work, too much dependence) on appraranm
mey very naturally be feared. Ik anticipate such
misgivings, It Is only ncrex*arr to state that the
editorial mamutemeut of The Aldine ha* been in
trusted to Mr. niCUARD HENRY STODDARD,
who bps received assurances of assistance from a
hp*t of th* moat popular writers and poets of th*
country,
THE VOLUME FOR 1872
will contain nearly 900 pages, and about 250 fine
engravings. Commencing with the number for
January, every third number will contain a beau
tiful tinted picture on plate paper, inserted as a
